mburnickas Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Then lastly, who does 15K drains here? I never did those even when i used a non synthetic ATF fluid. Always did/do 25 to 45K drains. I will be testing my ATF fluid on this next run. Just to see how it [tranny] is doing... ← I do, cause it cost me less than $20 and 20 minutes in my driveway. I do it cause I like to. steviej ← Ok :D , All my point was that you more then lightly are not saving or preventing anything unless you know all about the fluid.

xxxavier2k Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 yeah just a brief overview....http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t14716.htmlthis is what ive seen i assum its pretty similar but any additional info cant hurt....btw what fluid did you use ?synthetic like amsol redline or somethin else I just completed a drain and strainer clean on a '93 windom if you're interested i can post the procedure ← ← Yeah that link pretty much nailed it. What i realised though is that right after (about 1 wk) the tranny failed again...the filter was pretty much totally clogged again. I cleaned it again yeaterday and i'm just waiting and watching. I agree w/ everyone who says that the flush and refill causes previously stationary particles tto flow again and clog the filter. My advice then would be to flush then after about 3 days of regular driving drain, change the filter and refill. I use regular tranny fluid.

Lexusfreak Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Just did a regular 'drain & fill' with Amsoil synthetic ATF myself.......shifts sem slightly smoother & no problems to report as the Amsoil is compatible with Toyota type IV fluid. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
