Import Multi-Vehicle ATF Full Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 Quart

It's expensive but was the only one I could find that claimed to be compatible with my vehicle without buying Subaru brand for a much higher cost. It's been almost a year since I did did the ATF change with this fluid and have experienced no issues whatsoever. It appears to be very high quality.

Works great for my 2001 Mitsubishi Montero. I used about 10 quarts in total which included flushing the system. So from empty it took about 5 quarts to get the level just right. Also, check the proper procedure for the level check for your vehicle because, for mine, the engine must be running to get the correct measurement. Since the fluid change I've noticed much smoother shifts and my shifter seems to slide more smoothly when shifting from P to R and D, etc. I'd say this stuff is on par with OEM fluids. If you need an SP-III compatible fluid for a great value I'd highly recommend this stuff.

This Synthetic Automatic Transmission Fluid is exactly what my Hyundai 2007 Santa Fe needs for fluid replacement, as well as topping off. From my research the fluid quality is the best around for performance, and transmission longevity.

This fluid costs about half the price of other fluids, such as Redline D4 and Royal Purple, yet it's performance is well worth the money. In December 2012, I purchased a used 2001 Hyundai Elantra with 71K on it. This transmission requires Hyundai/Kia SPIII fluid or better (this fluid is rated for SPIII and SPIV applications, so it well exceeds the standard for this car). After some weird transmission codes and shifting I wasn't comfortable with, I decided to go ahead and service the transmission. It was past due and the fluid was showing it. I used this fluid and did three drain and fill cycles. After that, my performance did improve noticeably. I did not buy enough fluid this time though, so unfortunately I was stuck reusing some of the fluid from the second and third drain. I just serviced it again after another 30K, and it made a noticeable difference again. This time, I bought enough fluid that I didn't have to re-use what I drained out. Shifting is smooth as butter, almost undetectable now. I bought two cases this time and did two complete drain and fill cycles, putting only new fluid in each time. I changed the filter after the first cycle. I ran it through each gear in a "course" I drove around town after each fill to flush it good and get everything out of the torque converter. I had two quarts left over, so I drained two and put the two back in to get any leftovers that settled in the pan. I torqued the drain plug on my Elantra to 29 foot pounds (range for this transmission is 26-32). One more thing. As long as the fluid you buy is labeled as the correct type for your car, you are okay. Buying an aftermarket fluid will not eat the plastic parts inside your transmission. This is a myth that is floating around the web. While it may have been true in the older days, it isn't so much now since domestic and foreign automakers have parts sourced by the same suppliers in many cases.

I used this when I changed the transmission fluid and filter in my 2008 Highlander. I bout 2 gallon and ended up using about 5 quarts. I did a lot of research prior to using this fluid over the Toyota WS fluid. I found this fluid was almost identical to the qualities found in the WS fluid and considerably less expensive. After changing the fluid the transmission has shifted and behaved normally so I will be using this fluid in future transmission fluid changes.

Slightly higher viscosity seems a good fit for pre-SkyActiv Mazdas (those use FZ fluid, for which the standard 'red bottle' multivehicle is recommended.) Although not listed on the bottle, the info sheet for this Import ATF lists more compatibility with the older Mazda fluids, including M-III and M-5 (M-V) and across to the Ford FNR5 which is the sister trans to the ones used for the Mazda 2.5. After a drain and fill with this, shifts feel smooth and decisive.

Works great

After reading NUMEROUS reviews and threads on various platforms from here on Amazon to Reddit, I decided to go with this Valvoline import multi vehicle transmission fluid. I’m really glad I did. It works great, the transmission shifts perfectly, and I’m getting ready to change the fluid out again (doing the drain and fill operation). I’m certain that the “Only use genuine Honda fluid” people are either “following the other Honda snobs”, or had a personal bad experience, whether it was changing fluid using a non compatible type, or waiting until the transmission was already about to fail before changing the fluid for the very first time, and used something other than Honda fluid and the transmission died. I find it hard to believe that the 2007 Honda CRV owners manual on page 273 clearly states to use ATF-Z1 fluid, and the back of this bottle clearly states that it is ATF-Z1 compatible. I would think over the years that either a consumer, or Honda themselves, would have brought a law suit against Valvoline for misrepresentation of this product and its compatibility, just for monetary or proprietary reasons. I’ve used it without issue, 185,000 miles on the transmission, with ZERO issues. Don’t be afraid to save allot of money by using this $5 per quart fluid vs Honda’s $10-$12 per quart DW-1 (Honda changed formula to DW-1 but this is the backwards compatible fluid today). The original ATF-Z1 made by Honda is no longer available. Hope this review helps you make a better decision. Enjoy!

Had issues with sloppy gear changes and torque converter lockup cycling. Fresh fluid cleared up the issues.

Great
