Valvoline Maxlife ATF
anyone using or have any experience with this? The bottle says compatible with Toyota ATF WS. I'm thinking of using it in my 2007 Yaris.
thanks! |

Valvoline ATFs are good but, nothing beats the ATF WS by Toyota - I'd use the valvoline only incase I'm unable to find the Toyota ATF WS

I used this ATF. I bought my 2007 Yaris with 80k mi when I swapped the OEM ATF-WS with this Valvoline Maxlife. I tried to not mix them together, to do that, I did the following...
I dropped the trans-pan, changed the filter, unhooked one of the cooler lines and ran the engine to flush out the remaining fluid while putting in the new Valvoline. Works just fine. The car is driven 100mi a day in 60% city and 40% highway. It's been there for 2 years and changed every 50k miles. It was better than the fluid it replaced. |

Thanks. I ended up getting WS from a local dealer. WS was $7 a litre and Maxlife ATF was just over $6. Also picked up two 4 litre jugs of Super Longlife Coolant for $17 each.
