Can Maxlife mix with SP-III?

According to this post member Propflux 01 made the specific point/assertion that the OP "should be using SPiv-M now anyhow". Thus accurately referenced, "'if' as previously stated that information SP4-M has superseded SPIII......". Conversely, if that information is not accurate then that post information would have to referenced to that member specifically.

Either way, the main and more important point of previous post, since it 'appears' MaxLife singled out as one and/or only fluid lacking Hyun/Kia license and or approval, I'm still waiting on the query of any other other aftermarket fluid that has documented proof of either. And the subsequent information requested.

The topic of this post is Maxlife and OP is using it, so it is sufficient to just point out that Maxlife Multi-vehicle ATF is unapproved by Hyundai and untested by Hyundai, as meeting the SP-III or any other Hyundai spec. The same applies to all car makes and fluid specs that Maxlife Multi-Vehicle ATF claims to support. Hyundai SP-III and SP-IV M are incompatible fluids and two separate products, and not even Hyundai markets one product to meets both specs, but Maxlife claims to meet both.

So it would appear 'at this point at least' in addition to ML and also all the other multivehicle ATFs with suitable/recommended for H/K, no aftermarket fluid documents any Hy/Kia license and/or approval. That being that case that would make ML, the other previously defined multivehicle ATFs, and those promoted as single use, the same in the respect of not having H/K license/approval. Pretty much as I suspected, just wanted to confirm so the OP is aware of that fact.

IMO it's up to the end user to check the specifications of the various non-OE oils and decide what's "close enough", what is "better" and what is "not good".
Hence the existence of this forum.
