Gang,
I have a 2005 Lexus GX 470 with. 4.7L V8 80k miles. I took it to a Lexus dealer to have the transmission flushed just a preventative measures. No problems with the tranny at all.
The dealer put in Type 4 fluid. When I got home..120 miles away. I noticed the mistake. I called the dealership and they said it needed WS fluid as I knew and told me to bring it back..UGH...Another 120 miles to the dealer.
I put 240 miles on the tranny with the wrong fluid. Did this damage my tranny?
Is Type 4 and WS compatible? They did another flush and put in WS fluid. The tranny seems to shift just fine.
Just wondering the long term affects of driving 240 miles on Type 4 fluid.
Thanks!
