Well today I finally reach 30k and I want to change my ATF. I’ve been looking around for Synthetic Type-T ATF but there isn’t even any” Type-T ATF in stores.
Well my question is “where can I get some and how many quarts do I need?”

 

Got me...

Moved to M&CC though.

 

Toyota AT require Toyota Type IV fluid conveniently located at your friendly dealer for, I think, $8 a quart. As far as I have been able to asertain, there are no acceptable other fluids which are Toyota approved. At least two, Valvoline Maxlife and Pennzoil, universal transmission fluids are reported as working but I would not risk my warranty on either one. I plan on biting the bullet and paying Toyota when the time comes to change mine.

 

toyota dealer special fluid no exceptions anything else will cause internal damage to transmission you will be sorry

 

Ok well I did a bit more searching and I found out that Mobil makes a Type T-IV ATF

What do you guys think about that?

 

toyota oil is purple not red if mobils brand is purple then you can try at your own risk

 

The Amsoil Synthetic ATF is listed as appropriate for the Toyota auto tranny's. I have had it in mine for about 12 or 14k and it works great.
