the OP kinda jumps in & out of the thread so its a long read, but there are all kinds of positive reports from members about using maxlife or other brands, no negatives of actual driving experiences, just a few naysayers saying you have to use WS or else! one member, "bad wolf" whos an engineer makes many good points about how WS is nothing more than an average fluid.
a basic google search on "toyota ws vs maxlife" will give you all the info & reviews you could ever want. ive read until my eyes hurt... & have no reservations or doubts about using maxlife.

how come the dealer can only get to 3 out of 13 quarts for the $97 drain and fill? if i dont plan to do this easy peasy change, and not planning to flush, is the 25% refill worth it in people opinions? this is mostly preventative my girl shifts pretty good but has 143k now and i dont know if its even been changed out (whether only 3 quarts or w.e...?)
