Transmission fluid confusion and worry....
I feel like a complete idiot. Went and had the tranny flushed, realizing the next day that they put in some valvoline max life stuff......and right on the dip stick it says the kind of fluid to use. Grrr... So I called the shop and told them about the concern, and they said that the fluid they put in is universal, but I do not believe that one bit. I am 110% against having the tranny flushed out again to get the right stuff in, regardless if I'm paying for it or not. Should I just drop the pan and refill with atf+4, and do it again in the spring time? I know that by doing this it will only replace half of the fluid, at best. Any advice would certainly be appreciated.....Not looking forward to new tranny, flush, or spending more money than necessary.

Max life is DEX/MERC. Get it out asap! Its not universal, Any good shop will know this. You know engine oil is universal too but you dont see me using my cummins 15w-40 oil in my jeep. The truck is only meant to have atf +4. Take it back and make sure you watch them flush it and not just say "they flushed it"

Get it out, but careful with the trans flushes...
Some people say they can't hurt but I disagree - especially when you have a lot of mileage on your truck.
2 Years ago a trans flush was "recommended" and it killed my tranny in my grand prix. Yeah pontiac transmissions suck, but dodges aren't any better!
Get it all out and replace with it with ATF+4
