Having used Valvoline Maxlife in the past, I wanted to try the specific Dexron 6 stuff this time. Both cost me the exact same, but honestly my transmission really liked the Maxlife better. After changing the fluid my shift times were noticeably higher, I was worried at first but then the transmission adapted. If you have a 6T40 transmission, you probably want to use Maxlife.

This meets the spec for my 2007 Silverado 2500 HD Allison 1000. However, it’s $39/gal vs. $24/gal for the Valvoline Multi-Vehicle (ATF) Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid which also meets the spec. Oddly, this jug didn’t have a seal under the cap, like all my other gallon jugs of oil and transmission fluid do.

An actual FULL SYNTHETIC Mercon LV and at a better price than the Ford crap that is expensive Motorcraft Mercon LV (Ford doesn’t make fluids or transmissions). I can only speak for Fords and Aisins transmissions directly that require Mercon LV, but I am told that the GM DEXRON VI transmissions fluid is the exact product reading online by the professional transmission builders and gurus. 2009-2020 Fords for the most part use Mercon LV but some use ULV. But in this case, you get a great product cheaper than Ford branded fluid. They didn’t design, make or even service most of these transmissions. All the Fusion’s and Escapes with CVT”s and I know that the F150’s that have the 6R80 claim to have lifetime fluid and they are claimed to be “sealed”. That is a crock of crap. They both have drain and fill locations. The Fusion CVT’s I have the most experience with, but I installed an aftermarket pan and flushed the entire transmission on the F150 Platinum with a new filter without an issue to date (We used Amsoil in this particular case). Yet, FORD says it cannot be done. That is because when the darn thing fails, they think you are going to run to them to spend 5 grand on a new one. Nope!! It is very easy to change the fluid on any of the Ford, GM or Mopar vehicles. The Fusion models uses an Allen Hex 10mm socket and 5-6 quarts of fluid to pump in with a simple fluid exchange pump from Harbor freight or Amazon. This is for any of the Ford vehicles with CVT’s. This applies to many GM vehicles and Mopar too because it is the same transmission just programmed different. This fluid is affordable enough to change it on any mileage that makes you comfortable. I use Amsoil and Mobil1 motor oils and filters, so you can easily change it at the same time you are down there. Perhaps 20-30k mile intervals is plenty. For anyone over that, just order it up and the correct Hex 10mm and knock it out in 30 minutes or so.

Its Valvoline. I know it’s a quality product. Needed to top off the transmission after pulling the driveshaft to replace u-joints & the carrier bearing assembly.

If your care needs Dexron VI or Mercon LV in any application, whether it’s power steering or atf fluid, this is cheaper than buying the generic Walmart brand fluid.

I use this for my 6L80 in my 1k HP Yukon Denali… great fluid, good alternative to the ACDelco stuff. I wouldn’t use anything besides ACDelco or Vavoline in my truck.

I have had this transmission fluid in my car for a couple of years and the transmission in my truck is still going strong.
