Use what the owners manual and ford tell you to.

Advice heard, thanks. Was looking for some real world experience on valvoline maxlife fluid and if its good or bad. Manual states too use mercon. After searching, many here are using mercon v as per Fords updated specs. Just would like too know if anyones using maxlife in the Mazda md50r1 and how it runs.

It'll run the same and in my view maxlife is just a gimmick. If the insurance makes you feel better get-it but I'd personally just get the mercon V unless you wanted to upgrade to synthetic. I just don't believe the chemistry of "protecting or reconditioning" seals.
