I performed a total fluid change on my 2017 Ram 1500 Tradesman Crew 4x4 at 66,012 miles. For the particulars:
Rear diff - Valvoline 75W-140W Full Synthetic
Front diff - Valvoline 75-90W Full Synthetic
Transmission - Valvoline MaxLife ATF Multi-Vehicle Full Synthetic ATF
Engine - added High Mileage Seafoam to gas
Flushed the coolant (done at 30k) and it was very clean.
I see a lot of discussion about MaxLife concerns v ZF. After 1500 miles with MaxLife, the transmission shifts smoother and more responsive; temps are down 12 degrees. Even the differentials are very quite and gas mileage is up by 0.7mpg. My wife remarked how quite the truck was after service, and I agree.
