Royal Purple RACING ATF okay?

Just wondering if it’s okay to change my 6-speed auto trans fluid on my 2011 mini base with this?

I couldn’t find anything on whether it would harm it or not. I says I can use Royal Purple’s MAX ATF. But nothing about RACING ATF.

I am am able to buy it by the 5 gallon for $90 flat so that’s close to what 6 quarts would cost me at the store.

Thanks in advance!

I would highly recommend using Redline D4 ATF. If Royal Purple says "Meets JWS-3309" spec on the bottle then go for it. However I used did the service myself and used Redline D4 ATF and noticed a huge difference right away.

thanks! I’m going to order some right now. I found out that RACING ATF will not work on electronic shift trans. So only Royal Purple’s MAX ATF if going the Royal Purple route.
