I have 4 quarts of new MaxLife and was considering using that in about 100 miles to do the 2nd 4 quart drain and fill but am somewhat hesitant due to other threads talking about the conditioners or additives that MaxLife may or may not have when compared to the OEM WS fluid. So was asking if anyone has had success or not when mixing the two during a fluid exchange and what if any issues you may have had. Some context on my v8. At 100K...did full OEM WS fluid exchange. At 150K did another full OEM exchange, at 220K have done a 4 quart exchange with OEM WS fluid. Thank you for your input

natevans65 ...
GREAT pictures of the tranny fluid change - before and after... i.e., new OEM WS Toyota Fluid compared to old OEM WS Toyota Fluid .. i.e., after your 4 quart/fill (or FULL?) ... add at 150,000 miles - 70,000 miles later at/to 220,000 miles.
The color looks almost perfectly (red)...not black (like I would have thought).. Comforting to see your pictures. Thanks
Use the Maxlife you have stock in your next change - with more pictures please.
