also, check into the details of that $97 dealer fluid exchange, a full exchange usually runs almost double that price at the dealer. think they might just be doing a drain & fill for $97... & thats only ~3qts. 3qts for $97 is a SCAM! you can do a drain & fill in about 15 minutes & maybe $25-30 in WS fluid.
also do some research for yourself to decide if you want to use WS again... its been proven that WS is a non synthetic fluid & doesnt do too well with heat. maxlife & others are full synthetic & as good or better than WS. yes there are still the alarmists that think you NEED to use WS or your trans will explode... but thats not the case at all. some even report shudder issues went away with full maxlife exchanges.

Help me out here, I‘ve been following the WS discussion since buying my 4R in 2014 and don’t recall anything like this. What’s your source?
Also, Maxlife claims compatibility w/ WS and
with a bunch of other ATFs too. I’m not an alarmist by any stretch, just reluctant to trust a “one size fits all” approach with something like transmission fluid, especially when people who study such things for a living recommend against it. What does that mean? Watch
this video from the 37:50 mark before deciding between WS and any alternative fluid.
