    MaxLife, Idemitsu TLS-LV, if it meets spec and isn’t sketchy I’m sure you’ll be fine.

    Valvoline max life works great to clean your power steering system. Do not know if it meets WS specs. Since the tranny can be as expensive, or more expensive, as the engine-why risk it! Stick with WS.

    Maybe I am misinterpreting something but it is my understanding that Valveoline Max life is WS compatible. It says so on the label.
