mikeyb10supra Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 if toyota specify dexron 2 in the PAS why use T4 tranny fluid the stuff costs a bloody fortune ive got 8 litres sitting here, I just need to know if its ok to use the transmission fluid toyota specify is dextron II but you cant get it anymore so people choose the type IV ATF instead, so just wondered if its the same can be applied to the PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 ive got 8 litres sitting here, I just need to know if its ok to use I'd play it safe and use good quality DexII, as per manual. When I changed mine I used Mobil1 DexII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb10supra Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 where abouts did you get hold of the Dextron II John?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I had bought it three years ago through the net, along with Mobil1 for motorbikes. It's supposed to be the beez neez as ATF goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Sorry for digging this old thread up, but I'm planning on doing a PAS fluid flush and change soon. I have previously used Halfrauds Dextron 3 with no issues in the PAS. I plan to use Toyota Type 4 ATF fluid this time round, as I have a good few litres spare lying around. Is it definately OK to use the Type 4 ATF fluid in the PAS, especially after its had Dextron 3 in it for most of its life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigelboyne Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 yes mate work away all superseded type iv is fine for gear box and power ster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadyn Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Thanks for the input guys, I think I will try Type 4 this time round rather than Dextron 3, which is 8 quid a litre in Halfrauds!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
