Glenn Schabel Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Does anyone know where I can order Toyota ATF Type IV Fluid from? I have tried a few online places with good prices, but they email me back a day or so later that they cannot ship fluids. :cries: Any info appreciated! Thanks in advance Glenn
lenore Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Why dont you just go to A toyota Dealership and buy some? Otherwise switch to Amsoil synthetic which is a replacement fluid.
Glenn Schabel Posted August 3, 2007 Author Posted August 3, 2007 My local Toyota Dealerships are a rip off and want $72 a case!! Online places are $41-$44. It is the principle of it! Thanks
lenore Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Ah now i understand, yea the darn stuff is outragous. I always ask the Toyota dealership for a discount and they usually throw in 10 to 15 percent. The only other alternative is to switch to Amsoil tranny fluid.....At least they ship....
djspawn00 Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 try other online toyota parts dealers... i dunno worth a try... although you probably tried already, i wasn't sure what sites you looked into.
Robert Young Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 For what it's worth, Castrol Import Multi-Vehicle ATF claims to be compatible with the Toyota Type IV spec. It is fully synthetic and available at Pep Boys, etc. for around $5 per qt. You can download the product data sheet from: Castrol

Thanks in advance Glenn I think westbury toyota or even millenia toyota in hempstead sell the ATV-IV for a lil more than $5 a quart... which is about the same cost as the mobil1 atf i use in my power steering system.
lorenr Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 The owners manual does not say a lot about brand name fluids, but it does say to use Toyota ATF. A friend of mine works for Chevron and they make the Toyota ATF for Toyota. He says that making the stuff is hard because of Toyota's very tough requirements. He says they are required to sample, test and record everything, including sending samples to Japan for more testing. He also said that the additive package is very Toyota specific.
mburnickas Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 Use Amsoil ATF. Will perform better and way better shifting. Plus it lasts WAY longer.Toyota ATF is a rip off.
etex Posted September 8, 2007 Posted September 8, 2007 I recently bought a case of Toyota T-IV fluid from Sewell Lexus and it was delivered via UPS. E-mail: info@lexus-parts.com. Use Promo code NAV07 at checkout for discount.

The again a case I would not pay over $3 MAX per qt.
