joelsin Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I would like to do a transmission flush and would like to know how much Trans Fluid to purchase for a complete purge and refill. Does anyone have this information? Thanks in adavance. Regards, joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGS300 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I believe most of them take 9 quarts, I would purchase one or 2 extra quarts, so you have some extra <_< You're taking it to a shop to have it flushed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinBarber Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 dry fill on a GS430 is 9.4 quarts. I guess it will be the same for the LS430? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked they only did drain and fills. Also, I was planning on using Amsoil in the tranny and wondered if that would be a mistake to do. Any thoughts on the Amsoil for the engine and tranny? Thanks for your comments. ............joelsin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboGS300 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 [Amsoil is just fine for the engine, however, I'd stick to toyota T-IV for the tranny. Amsol is compatible with the toyota transmissions, however, the T-IV is specifically designed for toyota transmission. Any competent lexus shop can do the flush. However, if you have any independant lexus shops you may save a few dollars. B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 You can use the Amsoil synthetic ATF safely in your tranny. I will be using it in my 01 ES as well instead of the Toyota type IV fluid. Better protection. :D B) I switched from Mobil 1 synthetic oil to Amsoil (ASL series) 5W 30 oil for better & longer protection......it's still better than the 'new' Mobil 1 Extended synthetic. ;) Use the Amsoil heavy duty oil filters as well.
