SDS doesn't say which DI package they use, unless you're referring to something else.SDS has the info.
There is a big difference in compatibility, shift quality, and anti-wear properties between Max Life and EP ATF, with the later being much better for step shift automatics.Comparing the "Typical Properties" of the pictured EP vs MLFSMV side by side from their Product Info Sheet pdfs. the ONLY difference looking 'perhaps' significant between the two is the Brookfield Viscosity, 11k for ML vs <10K for EP. Otoh, KV40, KV100, and VI are identical. So for me, despite the EP marketing not enough difference to pay price premium for EP vs ML and change from my long time use of MLMV.
That's what I said: use dedicated CVT fluiid for CVTs, unless you have an old & leaky CVT with elastomer seal issues, then use Max Life ATF.That said, despite what MLMV bottle says now I would not use it for CVT. Valvoline makes a dedicated CVT fluid in blue bottle which I have used/am using in Nissan application.
