All right, my wife has a '12 Scion xB. Manual calls for Toyota WS fluid. She has just hit 30,000 miles and the fluid is starting to look a little dark, so I was wanting to do a drain and fill on the transmission.
For some reason I thought it required Toyota Type IV, so I bought 2 jugs of Valvoline Multi Vehicle Import Synthetic on sale quite a while back. The Valvoline does not say anything about WS or JWS 3324, only type T, III and IV.
Thing is, many say the MVI is almost the same as Maxlife ATF, which is WS compatible.
Is it safe to use the Valvoline MVI in a WS application? Searched on here some and online, but did not see anything specific for this question.
I do have 1 jug of Maxlife ATF (using it in my '02 F150), so I could use that, but then what to do with the MVI jugs? I don't remember where I got them so I can't return them. I guess I could exchange them for some Maxlife at any parts store?
Is the MVI safe for Merc V applications (again, the PDF only says Ford Mercon applications).
