Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic ATF - Instead of Toyota WS

Your right alftoy I went and looked at the selections again today. The Valvoline "import" ATF does not say Max life on the container. Neither do the others. The only one with Max Life on the container is the "multi vehicle".

 

So what's the latest on this. I thought I used the MaxLife Full Syn ATF in my daughter's 2007 some years ago but it isn't in my maintenance log so now I'm unsure. My 2007 needs a change now and I want to know if y'all have had good luck with it.

 

No knowledge of he differences. My experience is this: I use Toyota's fluid for the CVT. I did it shortly after I obtained the car - 70 K miles, then around 180 K miles. Due again now with over 360 K miles. Both previous changes the fluid looked great.
However, during my second change I also changed a fellow's Prius CVT fluid. They had only 70 K miles. I had to talk them into it because I felt they needed to know how to do it and both cars were in the same common shop on lifts ($5 for the morning use.) In any case, their fluid was nearly black - oops.
So take what you will from this semi-singular example. I will pay the extra for Toyota simply because it has worked so well for my car.
