MaxLife Dex/Merc automatic transmission fluid

[charmer37]

Hello, I have a 2001 Audi A6 2.7T quattro with a 5HP19FLA transmission and wanted to know if anyone used Valvoline Maxlife Dex/Merc ATF in their Audi transmission? Thanks

Maxlife does list many Audi/VW and ZF fluid specs. Look at the list to see if it matchs what your trans calls for

None of the specs it actually has, but is "suitable for". As long as you're okay with that and trust the company it is fine.

Maxlife Multi Vehicle is what I use in a 2003 Passat 1.8t.

Cool...I probably try the maxlife or get the Febi Bilstein fluid, Thanks.

I used it with a ZF-8 worked well

It seems that Maxlife proved OK in ZF transmissions but generally people cut change interval.

Passat 2003 has ZF too as far as I remember.
