Buy it online and get a small stash, use coupon code TRT41 to save $40 off $100 so you can get 10 quarts for $60.
Or check here for smaller codes like 35% off $50

You might even catch some 50 off 100 codes but limited to a number of uses.

I tried recently to use a coupon code on ATF and it wouldn't let me.
OP, don't know if you have a Meijer by you, but my local store had it for 7.49 today.

M1 ATF still hasn't been updated to the new Dex6/WS/DW1 low-viscosity specs!
At the retail level, $10 is about the best price you will get for M1 ATF.

$8.07 + tax at Meijer in my area. Sometimes mPerks (e.g. $5 coupon when you buy $25 in automotive) sweetens the deal.

I, for one, hope Mobil 1 doesn't change the M1 ATF for a while. Our family has a 2001 Isuzu Trooper with 153,000 miles and it uses Dexron III, a 1994 Isuzu Rodeo with 148,000 miles and it calls for Dex III.
With our vehicles as old as they are and with the mileage they have on them, I'm not sure if I want to use a thinner viscosity atf in them.
To the OP, our local Meijer has it for a few cents more than 8 dollars, that is the best I have seen, with the exception of AutoZone when they were clearing it out and had it on clearance.

M1 is a great ATF and you definitely pay for it. Nothing outdated about it.
Not everyone needs or wants the lowervisc ATFs.

Our dad has a 2006 Tundra. He lets me do the maintenance since I love working on our cars. I use the turkey baster method and have been using the Mobil 1 atf in the power steering. It has been great.

I tried using the code for it and it wouldn't allow it. If the code doesn't work for you try Wal-Mart.

Toyota asks for DEX II or III and I'll be mixing with the existing.

Wal-Mart here didn't carry it, was there the other day..neither does Farm Fleet or Menard which really suprised me.

Mobil 1 ATF is great for non-boutique priced atf. For power steering Redline PS FTW. I used to use Valvoline Synpower PS for a flush before basting and replacing and had great results.

I like that they haven't updated their formula, since we have Maxlife if we want low vis, the Mobil 1 represents a sweet spot for older vehicles that need the higher visc.

You can regularly find Maxlife for under $5 like at Walmart and Autozone. And it's a better ATF that meets more specs.

I use Maxlife in my 96 ES300, which originally called for Dex3.
However, Dex6 and Toyota's T-IV and WS are perfectly backwards-compatible with II and III.
And remember, the new low-vis ATF's are more shear stable. The starting visc is lower, but the ending viscosity is the same.
Maxlife is designed especially with high mileage in mind. That's the whole point of the Maxlife brand!
The price of M1 is dangerously close to botique fluids like Redline and Amsoil while not being as good as them, and definitely not worth twice as much as Maxlife.
