Just use any brand,as long as you take care of your car and change ATF frequently,any ATF should work the same.For my last car,I change every 20k,Spark plug,oil,oil and air filter every 10K.And it works well until don't know what went wrong.Definitely the gearbox and engine is still ok.

The cheapest that gets the job done.

 

Do note that Toyota T-IV ATF seems to be slightly thicker than say Schaeffer, Castrol or Mobil 1. I use it as its cheap and helps my jerky auto trans.

I usually stick to Redline or Amsoil most of the time. They are alright and compatible with my previous and current Honda.

I just did an ATF flush 1 weeks ago and the performance is amazing, response and power both increase. My manual state it's life time fluid, what crap.

I ever watched a documentary that a Jap guru advice is to change ATF together with each Engine oil change to prolong the lifespan and relibaility of the gearbox.

ideally every 15k would be sufficient

 

i do 5k oil and 10k gear intervals

 

 

Instead of the previous 5k for oil and 20K for ATF, now I do 10K for both.

Is it ok to replace rather than flushing ATF oil? Mine already 50K and need ATF servicing soon.

Anyone can recomend a good ATF flushing workshop?

Not convinient can pm me.

I fitted a aftermarket ATF cooler too due to my model(Ford) inherent transmission problem. The integrated ATF cooler in the radiator tend to leak and once the coolant get into the transmission, that it. But the point is, the new fluid does have better friction properties and i can feel alot more torque transmit through it.
