I use it. I consider it a “high mileage” atf. A bit thicker, etc.
Been using it in all my GM and Honda automatics. No transmission problems at all.
I have done two transmission drains and fills with Valvoline Maxlife, Multi-vehicle Full Synthetic ATF, after It had developed a torque converter shudder last year at about 45 mph. That stopped the shudder.
the reg jug of Valvoline Maxlife ATF at Walmart is what you want
I’ve used Valvoline MaxLife Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid in my 2012 Honda Accord the last 75,000 miles or better. I’ve had no problems.
The MaxLife product is FANTASTIC! I have been using it for a while with nothing but good things to say. The only thing is (like most ATF) it absolutely stanks!
Trans, I have the Auto, and use the $17 / gallon Valvoline from Walmart. It's much cheaper than VW, and I change it more frequently than VW suggest.
