Hello All,
I just drained-and-refilled the transmission fluid (didn't disconnect cooler lines) on my 08 Lexus RX350 AWD. Instead of using type WS fluid (new spec for 07+ RX I think), I used around 3.7 qts of Valvoline Maxlife (meets Toyota type IV spec).
Is that ok?
Although there's no noticeable drop in fuel economy, I did notice a slightly rougher shifting. Is this normal, as the trans is adjusting to the new fluid?
Should I just drain it all out again, and refill w/ WS?
Thanks much for the help; I really appreciate it.
