ATF+4 wasn't around until a few years ago, right? I would think
anything built into the mid 2000s would run just fine on

I've never used ATF+4 myself, so I can't tell you its stench
characteristics. Makes sense that it would stink significantly more
than Dextron, though. I do know synthetic gear oil stinks.
