The torque shift tranny has an internal t-stat. Changing the fluid will do nothing for the temps. It could possibly screw with you warranty if it's not an approved substitute.

I agree. The fluid temperature is ultimately controlled by the transmission fluid cooler, located under the radiator on 2017 diesel models. The brand of fluid would not have much to do with it.

The OP just needs to understand that these aren't his granddaddy's transmissions, and they're designed and controlled to run hotter than the autoboxes of yore. Nothing short of complete disassembly and the installation of aftermarket parts, which would result in a transmission that's less reliable.
