My local Toyota, which are usually the cheapest quoted £39 + VAT per 5 litres of Toyota T-IV ATF. With the auto box using around 8 litres it makes sense to buy 10 litres of ATF. Thats an eye watering £93.60 inc VAT with a 7 day wait. I tend to use Millers oils with my car, I always have. I've used Millers Millermatic SPIII (SPIII WS is the updated bottle) for years with no problems. I always get excellent performance and smooth shifting from my auto box using this oil. The application is suitable for Toyota T-II, T-III, T-IV, WS auto boxes. Im not saying go out and buy this ATF I just giving you my experience. Everyone has their own brand they like or prefer so nothing will be 'the best'. Just my $0.02

Thank you for the input.

 

 

Branded lubricants are expensive and everyone has their favourite.

 

Yet don't miss the common factor that thicker is better for transmissions that are working hard.

N/A pan strainer looks like this. (Hybrid Transmissions use this one too.)

 

 

 

 

T.T. pan strainer looks like this, gasket fits T.T. & N/A. (If you're silly enough to use one?)

[David P]

Drop the pan and there it is

Tip: Whilst you can get at them, re-torque all valve-body 10mm-head bolts to 7ftlb.

 

Tip: Don't use sump gasket, clean both surfaces with brake-cleaner and use Loctite Grey SI 5660.

 

(Strainer-bolts 7ftlb - sump-bolts 6.5ftlb only)

Just bumping this great thread..

I've got no idea what's been used in the past on the A340 box. Is it worth doing a complete flush and replacing with either Toyota T-IV or Mobil 3309?

[Annabella]

If you have no idea, as far as I understand, if the colour is of a burnt red/brown, then change most of it. Equally if it's red, and the box doesn't clunk more than it should, then just do the 1 part (approx 2l) change. Last time I did mine (2l) I used Toyota's own type IV ATF, and is what's recommended on here. If new ATF is added too often then the polymers can sludge up the box.

Thanks for that. I just wasn't sure whether different ones can be mixed?

Do you mean you don't know what type has been put in before? As I said above if the atf looks ok and the box behaves smoothly etc leave it, or do the 2L part flush.

Here you go, written by God himself - 

 

[Frank Bullitt]

@tayr A full flush is a good idea, new filter too. How is the pan holding up? Any leaks?

If you are going for a full flush, you could fit the deeper transmission pan and a decent in-line oil cooler (with thermostat) to future proof.

Its a cracking guide that, last pic should be his first comparison, will guide him if he needs to anything or full flush.

Yeh, I’ll do what you said though and take a look at what comes out first.

I’m thinking this too, at least then I know what’s in it from the get go. Pan looks fine, no leaks that I can remember but I’ll check this weekend.

 

I do like the idea of that. I was going to get the SRD auto box cooler when I change the intercooler and having a way of monitoring the temps would be very good. I’ll look into that tomorrow

Credit where credit is due, this forum owes a lot to Mr P.Especially us autoboxers. He always put up results and his endless tinkering has been a real lifesaver.

I’m pretty sure you can mix synthetic and conventional without an issue. I put Fuchs Titan ATF 4400 Ultra High Performance in the tiptronic box. It works a treat, what ever that is worth.

Speak with Opie Oils - https://www.opieoils.co.uk an ex forum trader. They know their apples so will be able to advise you 100%. Lucas Transmission Fix (Stops Slip) is also a good addition when doing an oil change.

When refitting the pan make sure you use a small amount of gasket sealant (Loctite Grey SI 5660 to be precise) as you don’t want it going inside the pan. Make sure both surfaces are spotless. If the pan does leak (no reason why is should) don’t be tempted to fit a gasket (you can buy them) as it’s only a temp fix and will start to leak and then warp the mating faces. Careful not to over tighten the sump bolts, think they need 6 ftlb maybe a little more but not a lot.

If fitting a temp sensor for the box (very good idea btw) make sure it’s in the bottom of the sump, where the plug goes. You can also drill and tap for a sump magnet if you want to be super cautious. Nice mechanical gauges like stack are very accurate.
