I am afraid I do not remember the specific differences offhand, but after two comparisons - one with a Mercedes W124 in 2014 and another with an '01 9-3 in 2018 - my takeaway was that the MaxLife is probably the superior fluid. My recollection is that MaxLife is a full synthetic (TransMax is semi), lower viscosity, and higher temperature tolerances than the TransMax. There are definitely some scenarios where you'd choose TransMax, but I think for a box in generally good health MaxLife is the superior choice.
