  1. The thing that alerts me is,The fluid is suitable. Not recommended. I'm not sure what you are trying to say. You dont recommend Syn ATF? and that the Toyota T-IV is suitable. We know what Toyota ATF is suitable, its oem.. i'm asking for experience with Mobil 1 Syn ATF in toyota transmissions, RX300 . Do you have any such experiences?
  2. Good way to go about it, Add a tranny filter and cooler while you have the lines out, Inexpensive and well worth it. A tranny filter in addition to the one in the drain pan? add transmission cooler? I thought we had all these built in. I searched and didnt see many posts on adding tranny coolers? can you point me there?
  3. no reports of transmission failure.. a good sign. Does the new fluid shift any smoother? is there any discernible difference compared to OEM ATF? I was going to drain and drop the pan, change filter and clean magnets. Maybe add a few super powerful neodymium magnets. reassemble, Pull transmission cooler lines, Fit clear tubing and run to drain pan.. start car, then add ATF through dipstick till 6 quarts are drained. Continue to drain, monitoring fluid color. Shut off car, reassemble. Check level Done Does that sound right?? am i missing anything?
  4. https://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorO...thetic_ATF.aspx Is anyone using Mobil1 Syn ATF? Its now T-IV compliant? Any experiences? I'm getting ready for a flush and fill + filter change. The transmission is shifting late when cold. I read alot of posts saying its normal.. but i never noticed this behavior before. I'm getting paranoid
  5. I had codes 0125, 1153, 1155, changed the front O2 sensor (underhood exhaust manifold) and the problem went away. For me i believe the sensor was still functional, the heater malfunctioned. (both are parts of the af sensor) when the cel was on, the car performed flawlessly. 22 mpg, normal. when i tested the old part, the heater loop was open circuit. Maybe you have the same problem, there are many threads. Also, you can buy a OBDII tool and look at the o2 sensor values with the car running. Play detective.
  6. I'm wondering how many of you have had the front strut rattling problem. how was your experience with the dealer? was it covered under warranty or TSB and how much did they charge? if you did it on your own, how much are parts? ** one of the options was: FIXED IT MYSELF, ITS NOW PERFECT****
  7. i have a funny rattle from my suspension as well, i have a 99 with 82000 miles. If the dealer wont do a good will warranty, do you have an idea of how much it should cost if they had partial coverage? would i be better off just trying another dealer? how much are the mounts themselves, cost for parts? Would i have to do an alignment afterwards? thanks William
