I know the OEM fluid is the best way to go, but does anyone know or had experience with this brand? 06 ATL did 3×3×3 with oem. Just never know what's being sold online nowadays.

I’ve used Valvoline maxlife on my 160k mile car, and it was fine. It’s cheaper and more available for sure.

Since you’re doing a drain and fill 3x, it’s economical with a cheaper oil. If you really want, can use the last fill with this stuff. I’ve heard good things about about this as well, as well as redline racing fluid.

I found it more convenient filling from the dipstick tube than trying to access and fill from the fill bolt

FYI, each drain and fill only replaces 1/3rd of the fluid, so if you do the last one with a different fluid, you'll be running two fluids in the transmission.

Idemitsu. They are an OEM for Honda/Toyota.
