Default A4 - 1.8T tiptronic Transmission oil change

ok folks, I have read a lot about this over the years but what is the real deal with the transmission fluid for the tip tronic trans. Can I just drain this LT71141 - ATF fluidand replace with the new Multi-Vehicle ATF fluid now being offered by many companies?

ie:

Castrol Multi-Vehicle ATF provides customers with a single ATF product that
meets multiple specifications.

Multi-Vehicle ATF provides the following benefits:
- Enhanced friction durability for smooth transmission operation
- Exceptional high temperature protection to effectively resist fluid
oxidation
- Superb low temperature fluidity for cold weather shifting.

Castrol Multi-Vehicle ATF is recommended for use for the following
specifications:

1. ATF+, ATF+2, ATF+2 Type 7176
2. Mitsubishi Diamond SP-II and SP-III
3. ATF+3, ATF+4
4. Nissan Matic-D and Matic-J
5. BMW LT71141 and LA2634
6. Toyota Type T, T-III and T-IV
7. Dexron, Dexron-II and Dexron-IID
8. Voith 55.6335.32 (G607)
9. Honda ATF-Z1 (except CVTs)
10. Volvo (except 5-speed)
11. MAN 339F
12. ZF TE-ML 14B and TE-ML 16L

I'd just use OEM. Why risk a 5000 dollar transmission to save a few bucks.
