I don't know how it will mix with your SP-III.
If you research Maxlife ATF, the bottle says it is recommended for pretty much any transmission ever made.
SP-III still aplenty but mostly from unknown brands unless i go for OEM which is expensive. I also heard good stuff about Maxlife. Or is it? Is it considered an upgrade or just merely a compatible replacement?
Ok, here's my logic. I have different models of Lexus and a Toyota. The Toyota calls for Dexron III, the Lexus calls 2 different transmission fluids. The old Lexus calls for T-IV and the newer Lexus call for WS. These are all very different transmission fluids. How in the world can anybody make a transmission fluid that will satisfy the requirements of all three different ATF's? Maxlife says it can replace all 3 of these fluids. I don't subscribe to "one size fits all." The fact of the matter is, you could run D-III in your car and it would probably run fine, for a while. Many people here love Maxlife Universal ATF and they seem to almost worship it. You are just gonna have to pick one. I would guess you will see about a 60:40 split between Maxlife and OEM here on this forum so there is no clear winner. LOL
Whatever you do, please don't do a flush. Research flushes first.
