I personally had the same kind of leak when I went to the FFL-2, and it went away when I went back to OEM. There is also a lot of talk about how any other fluids other than OEM will eat the gel coating off the internal circuit board, and short it out/damage it. The short answer is, it is up to you. But if you pose a blanket question like is it "fine" to use, I would suggest you read up more and weigh the cost savings versus risk. That is different for every person.
I agree...to each his own. I have a 2010 RA currently on 52,000 miles. Before changing fluid i had some clutch slippage...I have now been driving with FFL-2 for 8,000 miles with no issues, slippage, etc....even in cold temps it seems to hold out well. However some of these issues may be long term. So far no leaks either. Time will tell, but i'm personally not too worried about it. Plan on sticking with ffl-2 and upgrading clutch packs at some point as well....just my $.02
