Matt C Posted December 24, 2002 Share Posted December 24, 2002 Taken from "Service Fluids Thread". Originally posted by Alex Holdroyd You could change various oils... Engine Oil -5.5litres- Valvoline 5w50 is highly recommended, Castrol RS10w60 a close 2nd Gearbox Oil -2 cans...- ONLY Toyota V160 oil Don't use anything else. Diff Oil - Pass...could someone please fill in this blank ATF 75/90?? Powersteering fluid - 1-2L - ATFII Mobil1 is what I was given by Toyota. Brake Fluid -1litre - Motul RBF600R Coolant - 10L's - Toyota Red label - believe that 4Life stuff is good too. Very helpful stuff as I needed to know which gearbox oil to use. I remember somebody saying it had to be Toyota's own stuff but couldn't remember which kind. So, today I took myself down to Mr T (Who may I add are very nice blokes at my local dealer) and said I was gonna be getting the gearbox oil changed, what kind of oil did they use. To which they replied Shell!?!?!?! Hmmm, decided to leave it as this didn't sound right. Now they said they'd order me a different kind if I needed it and looking above, ToyotaV160 is what I need. Anybody got the part number please...?? Is it right that if I don't use this stuff the seals rot or something in the box...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using fluids other that the DExtron V160 is likely to cause seal failure. Ask specifically for V160 fluid, and they should be able to order some.
