Details = 2008 Camry L4 with 5 speed Auto Trans. Which Mobil 1 ATF is appropriate for my application? Car has 62,000 and I just bought it 1 month ago. I just did my first OC on it using M1 AFE 0W 20 with an OEM filter. It has been suggested that I do an ATF and filter change. I like M1 so well for the OC that I thought it would be a good choice for the AT as well. Also, which filter would you suggest? Thanks in advance.
Which M1 ATF for 08 Camry?

No, there are 6 listed on the M1 website. Now, I'm sure only one of those will work for my application. But, I don't know which one.

I don't believe this is right, but then again, I don't know for sure. I hope someone with knowledge of this chimes in.

There are a bunch of Mobil ATFs, but only one has the "Mobil 1" label. It's the premium multi-vehicle synthetic ATF, but it's not appropriate for your vehicle.
My 2008 Tacoma requires Toyota World Standard or "WS" fluid. If your car has a sealed unit and no dipstick, this may be the case. I'd suggest only the Toyota fluid if you need WS. The dealer can tell you if it requires WS.
If it has a dipstick stamped T-IV, there are some other options. OEM Toyota T-IV, Mobil 3309, and Castrol Transmax Import Vehicle are good choices. I just used the Castrol in a 3309 application with good results.

That's what I thought.

Yep! Only one M1 ATF. Here's the link. As for the fluid, M1 is outstanding for trans and PS pumps, as long as it is suited for your application.

I would go with the Amsoil low viscosity ATL. Its speced for your vehicle by Amsoil.
