But the bottle David was referencing didn't say that it met ATF+4.

"He pulled out a tech bulliten from Valvoline stating that their MaxLife
ATF meets Chrsylers ATF+4 specs (the bottle only stated it met Chrysler
specs)."

That sounds more like an afterthought "yeah, it's fine to use, whatever"
message than solid documentation.
