Toyota Type Iv Automatic Transmission Fluid

[soundchaser100]

Just to clarify the situation, if you own an LS400 with a 4 speed box (up to Mk3), then you put in Dexron ATF, NOT the Type TIV which is for the 5 speed box fitted to the Mk IV LS 400 and the pre facelift LS 430.

Paul - Now thats what I call putting a Cat amongst the Pigeons !! but thanks if you are absolutely sure on this.

I have asked the Question what did Fluid type T-II mean? and I made an assumption it meant Dextron.

The debate will no doubt continue during my absence and as a 1993 owner I'll look forward to reading updates on my return. I'll buy whichever is the right fluid for the car irrespective of price. G. knows I've spent enough not to want to wreck the car after so many issues have now been resolved.

Pity the Handbook did not actually give a brand product.

The earlier cars, (with 4-speed boxes) were filled with Toyota T- II from the factory. Toyota Type- II is no longer made. Toyota T- IV supercedes Toyota T-II . Therefore, Lexus now recommends fill with Toyota T- IV. Simples.

p.s. Dextron II/III is for your power steering.
