I would say no. The correct fluid is labeled MT90 and is a GL4 fluid with friction modifiers to help out the transmission synchros. It doenst look like the standard GL5 fluids have those friction modifiers and might lead to grinding like people who have used Mobil1 75w90 have experienced.
Im guessing he is referring to this:

i changed my fluid yesterday.
definity keep the fill plugged when draining. i pulled it out while the fluid was draining, and the 1 slow stream turned into 3 gushing streams. i had some cleaning to do afterwards.
i didnt fill through the reverse sensor hole, instead i used a funnel with a 24 inch extension. i dropped it through the engine bay.

For those that don't have a 1 1/16ths socket, the bolt to the right of it is easier when you have smaller sockets to work with (this one is 22-24mm). That opens a way to fill the tranny too, but does anyone know what it is? It has a yellow painted dot in the middle of it. When I popped it out, there's a ball on the end of it, tranny fluid all over it, and inside the hole is a fork-like piece that the ball seems to rest in. No wires tho on the outside.
(For identification, its next to the bolt for the bracket)
