Anyone use Amsoil ATF instead of 3309?

From this -> http://www.amsoil.com/StoreFront/atf.aspx

"AMSOIL AMSOIL Synthetic Universal ATF is recommended for transmissions, hydraulics, power steering and other applications requiring any of the following specifications: JWS 3309 [among others]"

Yes- works Fantasatic

Here are some pics of it after 30K use in my R.
Amsoil suggested 50-100K life and I would say they were correct.

I just flushed factory filled ATF on my 06 V70 (52k), boy, that old fluid was very dark.
This Amsoil thing looks really great.

I use it in everything that requires ATF. It works fantastic.

Why use the Amsoil?
Why not the 3309?

The Mobil 3309 is for sure NOT synthetic.

www.avlube.com is a Mobil wholesaler...They sell Mobil 3309 in case lots (12 qts) for $51.66...That works out $4.30 per quart as opposed to almost 10 bucks for Amsoil, a 50% saving...PLUS!!! it is the recommended product...I am not sure Amsoil is the right stuff for the power steering in late model Volvos...I have heard that the owner's manual is wrong and that ATF should not be used...
