Especially since I see a lot of recommendations for MaxLife. It is just that when I think of a Maxlife oil I think of a high mileage oil. Don't they swell seals more?
Does "serviced the filter" mean cleaned or replaced? How did it look? I really don't want to mess with mine if I don't need to.Serviced the filter and fluid using the Idemitsu WS equivalent. 77K miles.
Good stuff!
Does the Eneos website says it’s compatible? How much more transparency do you want? It’s not licensed fluid but only the Toyota branded fluid will be.From the Aisin website "ALL AISIN Automatic Transmission and CVT Fluids are 100% Synthetic." https://aisinaftermarket.com/english/products/23.html
I'm not sure but, but it seems like their fluids (their 0WS atf anyway) are made by Eneos since they use the same bottles and their SDSs are in the same font. Could this be the same stuff as Aisin 0WS? https://www.eneos.us/product/model-t-w/
I've e-mailed both companies and neither have replied. I also called Aisin, but the person I spoke with basically read the website to me. I'm just trying to find some ATF that is superior to/compatible with Toyota WS and I can't get any transparency or useful information.
Replaced it with a genuine one from Lexus. This is not necessary; I did it because I figured I would never do it again.Does "serviced the filter" mean cleaned or replaced? How did it look? I really don't want to mess with mine if I don't need to.
Personally I have used the AISIN WS fluid because it is synthetic and because... AISIN made the transmission, so they know a thing or two about what fluid works with them. Got it from Rockauto.From the Aisin website "ALL AISIN Automatic Transmission and CVT Fluids are 100% Synthetic." https://aisinaftermarket.com/english/products/23.html

I did a couple of D&Rs using this AZ 'Clearance' Idemitsu TLS-LV in an inlaws recently acquired high mileage Rav4.....no complaints.So I picked up a bunch of this with the Autozone clearance. Have 2 prior spill and fills with Maxlife on my Tundra and Rav4.
Any concerns adding Idemitsu into the mix?
