If you want to get the transmission fluid changed, make sure you're using the Toyota WS.

This fluid can be obtained at the dealership for a relatively fair price when compared to other transmission fluids.

The only other "brand" is Amsoil. They have a Toyota WS compatible fluid.

Keep in mind that Toyota WS is NOT the same as Toyota IV.


Under heavy/severe driving conditions, you should have the fluid changed at 60k miles. However, with normal driving, you won't need to change the fluid till 100k. This is stated on the Amsoil site for their Toyota WS replacement. I believe the car manual says something similar.

I want to say thank you for every one who contributed, and sorry for the late response. As for what I did, the dealer was the cheapest and the safest option since they have WS fluid and have it for $230. I didn't trust midas for it or juffylube and the local shops charge so much without the fluid it self. + I couldn't do it my self. I feel good about the car now.

Thanks again guys.
