MAXLIFE™ DEX/MERC ATF
Valvoline MaxLife™ DEX/MERC ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is the first fluid of its kind that is specifically formulated for the broadest range of today’s technologically sophisticated automatic transmissions. It is formulated with synthetic base stocks, unique seal conditioners, long-life friction modifiers, special anti-wear additives, and shear stable viscosity modifiers, among other components to fight the four major causes of transmission breakdown: leaks, slippage, shudder and gear wear.
Valvoline has conducted extensive in-house testing, independent lab testing, and field-testing to support MaxLife ATF performance in the broadest range of transmissions; however, it should be noted that MaxLife ATF is not a OEM licensed product. The respective vehicle manufacturers have neither evaluated nor endorsed MaxLife ATF in these applications. If an OEM licensed product is preferred we recommend Valvoline DEXRON® VI, Valvoline ATF+4® and Valvoline MERCON®V for the corresponding applications.
The Valvoline MaxLife™ ATF Advantages:
• Synthetic fluid
• Conditions transmission seals to prevent leaks
• Reduces varnish formation and wear
• Our best anti-shudder performance
• Improves and maintains smooth shifting longer than conventional automatic transmission fluids
• Superior anti-shudder performance

Is it necessary to change the oil in the AT periodically?

Typically, it is not necessary to replace the oil. Depending on the type of vehicle, it may be advisable to change the oil in the AT. We recommend replacing the oil with genuine oil, upon consultation with the car retailer.
