Auto transmission fluid

Anybody know where I can get the correct Toyota ATF from in Norfolk or the midlands. Local dealers don't have it, they've offered Dexron 3.

This looks a good bet if Toyota have run out of T4[GRIN][/GRIN]

I've searched the site, there's plenty of advice on using the stuff but I can't find any advice on where to get it!!

Thanks for the advice.

 

I know people look to the 'safe' method of using the car manufacturers recommendations, but Toyota didn't make the tansmission, Asin Warner (far eastern branch of Borg Warner?) did. Toyota don't make oil either afaik, so whose oil is in the Toyota bottle......

Isn't it just Toyota's marketing team not missing a trick, like all the other car makers? just food for thought, no answers required.

Dexron 2 is'nt it? thats what all the data books say anyway.

 

Its Toyota Type which is no longer made, replaced by Toyota Type IV.

Toyota spent alot of time developing their ATF's. Dont use anything else. Toyota have never released the ATF fluid specs, so how any one can sell a compatable fluid always amuses me.

 

Do not trust any one who says they know of an alternative there is not. My main dealer tried to sell me Dex III to put in my box:(
