Smile Is that OK to use Royal Purple MAX-ATF?

Mine is 2001 3.0i. The previous owner suggested me using this brand to change my transmission fluid. Is this MAX-ATF OK? Anyone used it before? Thanks for your input!

I did the trans fluid change from 11am on Sunday, took me and my friend, two people, 6 hours to complete, including 2 trip to Advance AutoParts, and a lunch.

Results: Royal Purple is AWESOME!!!

Issue:

As stated in the sticky thread "Transmission Fluid DIY", I found some tricky parts:

1) The fluid spurts out from the filler hole when the engine STARTED, it is IMPOSSIBLE to pump the fluid into the filler hole while the engine is on.

2) Also said in the sticky thread, you can only drain about 4.5L from the drain hole. I found it not true. I did drain 4.5L at the first time. However, when you pump the air into the filler hole with the drain hole open, you can drain another 2L~2.5L. After that, turn the engine on, briefly pause at each gear, turn off the engine, and then you can drain another 1L. Now you can fill in around 6L~7L fluid. I gotta say ROYAL PURPLE ROCKS!!!! It's AWESOME! I can't even feel the sluggish gear change now.
