Valvoline Hybrid ATF is being used as a low cost universal style fluid for top offs and drain and fills in vehicles that call for Dex VI, Dex 6, Ford and Hyundai Kia LV specs, Honda DW1, and Toyota WS. It is also described as working in non hybrid vehicles, with smooth shifting after a drain and fill and even use in older trucks and power steering systems. The main caution is fitment, since some applications call for ULV instead, and the hybrid label makes Toyota WS and similar cases worth double checking. A flexible pick when the spec match is confirmed.

Common Questions (5)

  • Yes. It is stated to work in standard LV synthetic ATF applications like Dex 6 and Dex VI, and it is also reported to shift smoothly in a 2008 Honda that takes DW-1. The hybrid label adds protection for hybrids, but the fluid can be used in many non-hybrid ATF applications.

  • Yes, it is reported to work for Honda DW-1 needs and was used successfully in a 2008 Honda with smooth shifting after a drain and fill. The same fluid is also linked to Honda fitment guidance through Idemitsu Type H Plus references in the thread.

  • For top-offs it can be used, but a full drain and fill should use ULV if the transmission specifically calls for ULV. That matters because the fluid is being treated as a compatible top-off option rather than a direct replacement for a full ULV service.

  • It may work in Toyota WS applications, and one commenter planned to use it in a Lexus that takes Toyota WS. The thread also notes that Toyota hybrids and non-hybrids both use ATF WS, but replacement guidance can differ by hybrid versus non-hybrid vehicle.

  • Yes. It was reported fine in a 1988 GMC 1500 and described as exceeding specs, and it was also chosen for a beater vehicle whose power steering system specifies Dex II or III. That makes it useful beyond modern hybrid transmissions when the required spec matches.

Advance Auto also has a lot of Idemitsu Transmission fluids on clearance for $1.95 a Quart.

Idemitsu is the OE supplier for the likes of Honda, Toyota, Nissan , Subaru and I think Hyundai

Honda ATF Dw-1 runs $9 quart at my local dealer. The Idemitsu variant for DW-1 is Type H Plus.

Thanks! Rated for Dextron VI and Mercon LV
Is it for specific dextron VI vehicles? Or will this work with my 06 Buick Lucerne that uses dextron VI?

Wonder if this'll work the same way non-hybrid atf does when you mix it 50/50 with acetone.
That's what I'm buying it for! I don't see why not?Wink

Finding the Idemitsu Type H Plus ATF in stock is probably going to be a huge YMMV since it's used in so many Hondas. https://shop.advanceautoparts.com...m=idemitsu
