Valvoline Import Multi-Vehicle (ATF) Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 QT, Case of 6

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.

As a DIYer, transmission fluid changes always make me a bit nervous—one slip-up and you’re looking at costly repairs. This Valvoline Import Multi-Vehicle Full Synthetic ATF instantly put my mind at ease. It meets or exceeds Toyota’s factory specifications, so I know my transmission is getting exactly what it needs. The fluid pours cleanly, blends seamlessly, and left my shifts silky-smooth. If you’re doing your own transmission service, this is the high-quality, confidence-inspiring choice you want.

Works as far as I can tell

Cheap and convenient

Perfect for Mazda vehicles.

Muy bueno

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).

I bought this oil to replace the old fluid in my daughter's sonatas transaxleIt's the same oil you can buy at any store, but I got a really good price on it and by doing the work myself I saved about $300 from the dealership quote
