SB 727 fluid question

Maxlife is an attempt at a one-size-fits-all ATF. As such, it is a compromise for many applications. Valvoline recommends it for a multitude of applications including CVTs, Honda, ZF and others. Note that it is not certified by OEMs to meet any specs, just that Valvoline recommends it. Also note they don't recommend Maxlife in ATF+4 applications.

So there's probably little benefit to using Maxlife in your new transmission. You can easily do better. If you really want to do the best for your trans, do what @Dana67Dart says and see if the clutch manufacturer recommends a specific fluid. Otherwise, ATF+4 is a solid choice for your intended use. Good shift quality and excellent "protection."

I'm not some keyboard warrior regurgitating what I read on Facebook. My background is 32 years selling lubes for a major oil company that now pays me to not work. :) That included dozens of tech seminars and workshops. I've sold upwards of a million gallons of ATFs.
