Notractionin4th Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Hey Guys, Just a quick one I'm looking for a bit more guidance on please. I have J Spec Auto Supra which has had a single turbo conversion done and I'm just working my way through a list of to do's to get it where I want it to be (running safely is the main priority of course) I'm about to order a load of fluids etc for a service but am unsure what auto transmission oil to get. Tim from Opie Oils has given me a choice of four - Amsoil ATF, Motul Multi ATF, Fuchs ATF4400 and Millers Millermatic ATF SPIII What do you guys recommend I should get please? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those listed claim to meet Toyota T-IV specs. http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/atf.aspx http://www.motul-oil.co.uk/pdfs/gear-oil/Multi_ATF_TDS_(GB).pdf http://www.fuchs-europe.de/fileadmin/fuchs_upload/downloads/pr-texte/TITAN_ATF_4400.pdf http://millersoils-online.co.uk/millers_oils_which_engine_oil.cgi?_name=MILLERMATIC_ATF_SP_III&product_id=214&exact_match=on Other than that, I can't say. I've always used Toyota T-IV. Edited August 22, 2011 by garethr (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notractionin4th Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thanks very much for the help guys. Yeah, after trawling through loads of threads the last week or so using the search function i found that Toyota Type IV was said to be the 'only' one you 'should' use. However, please correct me if i'm wrong, but I'm sure i saw written in a recent-ish thread that you can no longer get hold of Toyota Type IV ? If you can still get it then I will buy it. Obviously Tim from Opie Oils knows what he's on about and you just backed up what he told me Gareth, those 4 choices he gave me are supposedly meeting the type IV specs. I was just wondering if at all there was any preference from fellow members out of that choice of 4 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Long time since I owned an auto. As I recall there are some little blue plastic balls in the box that will swell and shut off fluid flow in the box, rendering it useless. There are several fluids out there that will cause the swelling - Dextron being one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notractionin4th Posted August 22, 2011 Author Share Posted August 22, 2011 Yeah I think you're right Phil. Whilst trawling for hours through a shed load of threads on gearboxes and the oil used in them, I did see that written in a couple of them.
