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

There is no 6 speed automatic G car...for the G35, theres a 5 speed automatic and a 6 speed manual...not sure which one you're referring to...

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
