Just wanted to go over this alittle bit. RE7R01A transmission, which is the seven speed transmissions found in the G37 does not accept Valvoline Maxlife ATF. I worked at Valvoline for 4 years, maxlife atf is a very universal transmission fluid although is NOT to be used in the seven speed transmission G37. At Valvoline, all vehicle information is sent to us by The manufacturer. Nissan/Infiniti stated the seven speed transmission CANNOT take Valvoline Maxlife ATF, although the 6 speed automatic G35 CAN. Hope this helps,Valvoline Maxlife ATF overall sucks anyways, so dont put it into your car if its the wrong fluid
For context though, that post you quoted is almost 5 years old and Blnewt was probably the most active forum admin on here in that time and I'm almost positive that he never had any issues with running Valvoline Maxlife ATF nor have any of the ppl who have reported doing drain and fills with it in the massive DIY thread...so
