From Valvoline's site, MaxLife is compatible with "Toyota and Lexus Type T, T-III, T-IV and WS". From what I've read on this site, the spec is 3309 (same as the Toyota T-IV) for the Aisin trans in the '03 9-5.
You should be fine though I have heard some bad things about getting a complete trans "flush" as the pressure used can loosen up deposits around seals, causing them to leak.
Personally, I did the 3-time flush at home with Toyota T-IV when I bought my car (used '03 AERO 50K) and I've drained it every other oil change since then. I have 150K and the trans runs perfectly.
Just my two cents!
Cheers!
Carlo
