Are there any known issues with mixing valvoline and honda fluids together? Valvoline website that it is fully compatible with conventional trans fluid.

Never had an issue mixing the two.

I saw the same product on Rockauto, but opted for the Beck Arnely DW-1 atf as it is synthetic. I have also used Maxlife atf in the past in the pilot and other cars.

Can you substantiate the fact that Beck Arnley DW-1 is full synthetic? I haven't seen that written anywhere.

No problems whatsoever. On the contrary, full synth Valvoline MaxLife ATF is a noticeable improvement.

I was contemplating the Beck-Arnley DW-1 ATF on RA myself, but passed for the same reason. I'm sure it's basically OK, but not full synth as far as I can tell.

I checked the pics on RA, also called BA to confirm and get .com viscosity numbers. Enclosed is a pic of my bottle and a screenshot from RA.

Their marketing team should really put that in much more prominent font.

I agree, but they are not the only folks. When I was looking for a synthetic Mercon V 10 years ago Valvoline had it buried in a data sheet.

So is this the same DW-1 as Beck Arnley DW-1?

You know ATF gets him all riled up and he gets his shop rags up in twist.

Doubt it. It was posted in 2011-2013. Isn't that more or less about the time Honda switched from Z-1 to DW-1?

Welp, I went and ordered a case of this knock off full syn Beck Arnley DW-1 Fluid for 3 x service. I'm going to try it first in the 6-speed before the Amalie Universal Synthetic.

Send me the leftover MaxLife now that you've moved on to other pastures in the ATF world...

I still got 6 vehicles that use MaxLife. Sorry. If Beck Arnley proves to be good, then this Amalie Universal Synthetic will have to go somewheres.

Whats good and bad in these numbers?

Concur, I have no idea how most of these affect transmissions and the black magic that occurs in them.

I see some have calcium and sodium and zinc, but I'm holding out for one with the Recommended Dietary Allowance of riboflavin.
