Import Multi-Vehicle ATF Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 Quart

It's expensive but was the only one I could find that claimed to be compatible with my vehicle without buying Subaru brand for a much higher cost. It's been almost a year since I did did the ATF change with this fluid and have experienced no issues whatsoever. It appears to be very high quality.

Works great for my 2001 Mitsubishi Montero. I used about 10 quarts in total which included flushing the system. So from empty it took about 5 quarts to get the level just right. Also, check the proper procedure for the level check for your vehicle because, for mine, the engine must be running to get the correct measurement. Since the fluid change I've noticed much smoother shifts and my shifter seems to slide more smoothly when shifting from P to R and D, etc. I'd say this stuff is on par with OEM fluids. If you need an SP-III compatible fluid for a great value I'd highly recommend this stuff.

This Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is exactly what my Hyundai 2007 Santa Fe needs for fluid replacement, as well as topping off. From my research the fluid quality is the best around for performance, and transmission longevity.

I used this when I changed the transmission fluid and filter in my 2008 Highlander. I bout 2 gallon and ended up using about 5 quarts. I did a lot of research prior to using this fluid over the Toyota WS fluid. I found this fluid was almost identical to the qualities found in the WS fluid and considerably less expensive. After changing the fluid the transmission has shifted and behaved normally so I will be using this fluid in future transmission fluid changes.

This fluid costs about half the price of other fluids, such as Redline D4 and Royal Purple, yet it's performance is well worth the money. In December 2012, I purchased a used 2001 Hyundai Elantra with 71K on it. This transmission requires Hyundai/Kia SPIII fluid or better (this fluid is rated for SPIII and SPIV applications, so it well exceeds the standard for this car). After some weird transmission codes and shifting I wasn't comfortable with, I decided to go ahead and service the transmission. It was past due and the fluid was showing it. I used this fluid and did three drain and fill cycles. After that, my performance did improve noticeably. I did not buy enough fluid this time though, so unfortunately I was stuck reusing some of the fluid from the second and third drain. I just serviced it again after another 30K, and it made a noticeable difference again. This time, I bought enough fluid that I didn't have to re-use what I drained out. Shifting is smooth as butter, almost undetectable now. I bought two cases this time and did two complete drain and fill cycles, putting only new fluid in each time. I changed the filter after the first cycle. I ran it through each gear in a "course" I drove around town after each fill to flush it good and get everything out of the torque converter. I had two quarts left over, so I drained two and put the two back in to get any leftovers that settled in the pan. I torqued the drain plug on my Elantra to 29 foot pounds (range for this transmission is 26-32). One more thing. As long as the fluid you buy is labeled as the correct type for your car, you are okay. Buying an aftermarket fluid will not eat the plastic parts inside your transmission. This is a myth that is floating around the web. While it may have been true in the older days, it isn't so much now since domestic and foreign automakers have parts sourced by the same suppliers in many cases.

Always been good oil

This is a good routine maintenance product for your Import Vehicle. I've used this on my older 2010 Mazda5 as well as other older "Import" vehicles. I have had absolutely no issues using this product, especially on older, higher mileage vehicles. I abide by whatever the Owners Manual maintenance recommendations are. This product is a good value for the price. I was pleased with this purchase. It will revitalize the viscosity of your vehicle's transmission fluid. It will promote smooth shifting and reliable automatic transmission operation. It is a routine maintenance lubricant product. It is not a "miracle fix" for already damaged automatic transmissions. I also replace the transmission filter as part of this vehicle routine maintenance task, including completely cleaning the magnets inside the transmission oil pan, as well as cleaning the magnetic drain plug. Some believe there is no real cause to replace the automatic transmission fluid in modern era vehicles. Again, my choice is to abide by the Vehicle Owners Manual maintenance interval recommendations. There is also something significant to be said for reasonable transmission loads, sudden erratic vehicle acceleration and driving habits in general. This Valvoline Full Synthetic ATF is a good product. I would rate it 5-Stars if I knew it was identical to the vehicle OE transmission fluid. Regardless it has performed well and without incident whenever I have used it (in higher mileage automatic transmissions, typically over 100K miles).

Used this whilst diagnosing a ZF 5HP24 transmission and it seems close enough to the original Lifeguard5 liquid (which is NLA) at a much more affordable price. I know that some have been running this liquid as regular replacement for Lifeguard and have been happy with their choice. However, after repairing the transmission, I refilled it with Ravenol from Blauparts which seems a closer match with Lifeguard.
