Max Life claims 236.14, Glyn??

I received this letter in response to my request for the new Synpower ATF 134.

They said Europe only, but this is OK for 236.14.

Yeah! These one size fits all products are exactly what we don't want.

I'm going to e-mail them back and ask, "if Max Life is OK for 236.14, why do you have Synpower ATF 134"?

Here's the first e-mail...................


Clark, thank you for contacting Valvoline for your automatic transmission fluid application.

The Valvoline SynPower ATF 134 is a product that is only available in Europe, so this product will likely not be made available for sale in the U.S. We do offer our Valvoline MaxLife ATF product, to meet the MB 236.14 specifications recommended by your manufacturer.


Although our Valvoline MaxLife ATF product labels may not have the updated information, we do have the updated information on our MaxLife letter. We have attached a PDF copy of the letter, for your convenience.


If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us via email or by phone at 800 TEAM VAL. Thank you once again for contacting Valvoline Product Support and have a great day.

Tom
