I've been using Valvoline Maxlife multi-vehicle, with zero issues. Still shifts like the day I bought it (I bought it new in 01). First fluid change, I got about 4 quarts out. After a week or so, I drained that and refilled again. Same thing on the second change.
I also replaced the trans cooler/heat exchanger at 165k, along with the trans thermostat/expansion tank/radiator/cap.

Thanks Scott, great feedback. You are the 3rd member to mention using MaxLife with no issues so I am happy I made that choice. At $17.49/gallon it is a easy call to do multiple drains and fills. How did your fluid look at 165,000 after 70,000 miles from the original multiple drain and fill at 95,000 miles?
