    Good to know. I'm a huge fan of Mobil1 everything. I know a lot of people detract from Mobil1, but I've always used Mobil1 in my cars and trucks and I've never been disappointed or had an issue.

    Reeeeaaaaalllly. Thank you for finding this out.

    Did my transmission flush last year shortly after my blower install at 62K with Valvoline Maxxlife ATF. Much better over WS.

    18 quarts? I hope you don't plan on using all of that on your transmission.

    You do it yourself or pay a shop? Was thinking of doing the @Crom method :)

    Well both actually. I did it myself at the shop I work at using a machine. If I recall correctly, ours takes 11 quarts.

    Strong revival. Can anyone verify any of these can be mixed with the Toyota fluid? I am adding a trans cooler and the dealer is closed

    This is an old post, I know, but thanks for the info. Walmart has the Super Tech VI for around $4 per quart.
    I can use this in my Prius and my Scion xB (Taco sold so I dont 'need' a truck anymore :>)

    I just flushed with max life at 123k and it's running smooth. I did a drain/refill at 40k with OEM. Drained fluid vs new
