I think the IPD warning is just a prudent CYA move on their part to address the very rare eventuality of a problem. As said, if the new fluid causes problems, replace the old stuff (and sell the car). My newly purchased 940 had fluid that was almost brown, and very dirty-looking. It took 13 qts of new stuff before clear red fluid was gurgling out of the hose, including the 2 qts to drain and refill the pan. After, I couldn't detect a change - good or bad - in trans function, but fresh lubricant just has to be a good thing.
