Multi vehicle ATF

[MolaKule]

It's also interesting to note that Valvoline cannot reccomend their Maxlife ATF in California where it does not meet viscosity requirements of the recommended application.

The California wording, reasoning, and the communications between the State of California and Valvoline have been discussed here before.

Here is but one of the many threads previously in which this was discussed:

Maxlife California Specs?

As of 12/20/16 looks like there are alternate specs in CA per website: http://content.valvoline.com/pdf/maxlife_atf.pdf Suitable for use in: Allison TES 389*, C-4 Audi/VW G-055-025-A2, G-052-162-A1/A2, G-052-990- A2, G-055-005-A2, G-055-162-A6, G-055-540-A2, G-060- 162-A2, G-052-025-A2...

I venture to say the bureaucrats in CA know little about ATF chemistry.

Not sure what to make off that, and can not access the documents. Comings from the SAE there may be somebasis to it. What do you think​

There is a huge difference between mechanical / mechanical industrial research, vs what this video is about which is more based on social political research which at times can be basically pseudo science that is politically influenced. SAE studies about fluids / lubricants or mechanical devices are not going to be based on some abstract science that is open to someones belief structure or feelings. In the mechanical engineering world there is none of that.
