* Formal Approval
Valvoline has conducted in-house testing to support MaxLife ATF performance in these

transmissions. However,
it is important to note that, other than where we have formal approvals, these vehicle

manufacturers have neither
evaluated nor approved MaxLife ATF.
Valvoline stands behind all of its products, including MaxLife ATF. Use of MaxLife ATF

in transmissions where
recommended by Valvoline WILL NOT void the vehicle’s warranty. Vehicle manufacturers

are restricted by
federal law from including the requirement of the use of a specific brand or trade

name of product or service as a
condition of their warranty. The following is an extract from the Federal Trade

Commission’s web site on
interpretation of the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act:

Valvoline has conducted extensive testing and has a long history of successful use of

MaxLife ATF in a broad range of
applications. In the unlikely event that you or your customer experiences any

transmission damage while using
MaxLife ATF, please contact Valvoline at 1-800-Team-VAL for assistance.
While MaxLife ATF is designed to meet the special needs of higher mileage

transmissions, new transmissions can
also benefit from its enhanced oxidation protection, shear stability, seal

compatibility, and anti-shudder protection.
Many consumers have chosen to take advantage of this level of performance in newer

transmissions.
Valvoline currently does not recommend MaxLife ATF where certain specific low

viscosity ATFs are called for.
These include Mercedes Benz NAG-2, ZF Lifeguard 6 and 6 Plus, and AUDI G055-162-A6 and

G055-005-A2
applications.
Valvoline does not recommend MaxLife ATF for use in most continuously variable

transmissions (CVTs) unless
specifically noted nor in automatic transmissions where Ford Type F fluids are

recommended.
Sincerely,
Thom Smith
