problem finding transmission fluid

[lint]

I have been running Valvoline dexron V1 full synthetic fluid in my trailblazer and like it a lot , its getting hard to find in the stores around here all I can find is the Valvoline maxlife full synthetic, but the maxlife has conditioners in it to keep the seals soft , i dont like to use anything that can make the seals deteriorate, the only reason i use any kind of stop leak in a transmission is if i was trying to make it stop leaking for another year or two till i could fix it or sell it . Mine does not leak at all. here are links to the fluids ,just a little worried about the maxlife or am I wrong about the type of seal conditioners that are in it.

Don't see why it should be that hard to find unless you live between No and Where. At worse, you could buy it from Amazon.

Thanks for the reply Yeah I saw it on line and was going to buy it but would like to buy in local stores it seems like all the stores have went to
the max life full synthetic and is cheaper but didn't want to put anything in that would degrade the seals that's why I was asking . I do like the Valvoline dexron VI full synthetic, seems to keep the temp. down a lot better than regular fluid.

If it helps ease any worry, I've pretty much only used the Max Life stuff in my transmissions and my Trailblazer has about 207k on it with no transmission issues. The 4L60E in my Camaro has probably around 170k on it (I don't remember exactly, it has more miles than the car has since it came out of my old Camaro).

Both do have the Transgo SK-4L60E kit in them to prevent/fix the TCC lockup issue the 4L60E can tend to have (the Camaro did, Trailblazer never did), and the Trailblazer also has a Transgo hardened separator plate and Sonnax pinless accumulators in it. But the guts of the transmissions beyond the valve body are all totally original.

Thanks sparky,,, I'm getting older and worry a little more , Getting under a car and dropping a transmission on my chest and dragging it out for a leaky seal because of something I did just not going to happen anymore lol. Stop leaks and some conditioners can play hell with seals , Always good to ask someone who knows. looks like it off to get 12 or 13 quarts Max Life to do a complete back yard flush and filter The trailblazer does seem to shift better with the Valvoline. and I have 149,000 on it with no leaks, Can't complain .
