CVT Trans fluid

The GTS is at 35k miles, so its due for a transmission service. What is the best fluid to put in? I've heard a lot of people say to only use the Mitsu Diaqueen fluid. Is that true? I noticed Redline has some CVT fluid, but I don't want to risk getting that and screwing the trans up.

Stick with OEM fluid.

Some people have had very adverse effects using non-OEM trans fluid. Get the Diaqueen.
