FYI, Valvoline MaxLife MultiVehicle ATF is indeed recommended for Auto Trak II transfer case fluid replacement

[TumblrDucks]

This may be old news for you, but for me, I was just noticing Auto Trak II is now in the recommended replacement fluid list on product information sheet. So, I reached out to Valvoline asking for calrification. Here's the response I got:

Great news for me as it cut the cost of fluid replacement down significantly.
Since most of information posted online says to use GM Auto Trak II only or Multi-transfer case fluid only, I think it is a good idea to let others know we have a new option for a while now.

Thread '2005 Silverado auto trak 2 fluid replacement options'

Aug 4, 2024

I'm coming up on time to change my transfer case fluid again and trying to decide what to get. Auto trak 2 fluid is not commonly available near me, so I'd be going to the dealership for it. Last 2 changes have been Valvoline multi vehicle transfer case fluid which is "recommended" for auto trak 2 applications. It seemed to work fine.

I'm considering Amsoil because i like the squeeze bags for refilling easier out in my driveway. It seems like Amsoil recommends their universal ATF for this application....so I assume it's safe to use instead of auto trak 2? I never use auto mode anyway if...

As someone who despises narrow-use proprietary fluid, I say "Awesome!"

In the past I've used Valvoline's Transfer Case Fluid simply to make sure GM doesn't notch a sale of AutoTrak II

I've been getting the Havoline MV ATF for my truck that specs Mobil 3309.

It feels weird using a "universal" fluid though.

I do appreciate Valvoline for testing multi-atf for transfer case use. They could choose not to develop a formula that compatible with transfer case/not mentioning it in PDS, so customers have to eat their $15 per qt multi-transfer case fluid.

I USE ATF MAXLIFE IN MY RAM 1500 TRANSFER CASE .... ABOUT 50K ish AND NO ISSUES

I topped off the transfer case with ACD auto trak II on my 22 GMC Canyon which calls for Dex VI. Wouldn’t hesitate to use maxlife ATF
