Swampy11 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I want to use Redline pure synthetic ATF in my `08 ES 350. Their specifications meet Toyota Type T-III & T-IV ATF. Does this meet Lexus' specifications? Thanks in advance. `swamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Toyota, the only other possibility I know of is Amsoil.

KBRX330 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 +1 on the WS spec. WS is a synthetic fluid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SW03ES Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would not put anything but the OEM fluid in there...sure fire way to cause warranty problems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeb427 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would not put anything but the OEM fluid in there...sure fire way to cause warranty problems... True! I'm a Amsoil fluids guy but wouldn't use anything but Toyota WS in the trans. WS is super expensive too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexusfreak Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 True!I'm a Amsoil fluids guy but wouldn't use anything but Toyota WS in the trans. WS is super expensive too. How much does Toyota charge for it per qt.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBRX330 Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 The Toyota dealer I go to here sells me WS for $82 for a case of 12 quarts which is enough for a trans fluid exchange. (11.4qts) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
