Our transmission was spec'd with TypeIV originally. If I were you guys I'd figure I had little to lose and give some type IV a try. The slightly heavier viscosity will probably smooth it out. Just a thought. I once read a Toyota document on WS and it said if TypeIV was used the driver MAY noticed delayed/sluggish transmission performance in very cold conditions but that's it. There was no "your transmission will blow up and you will likely die in the incident" warning.


Here's some similar tales and worth a read as you ponder trying TypeIV. (NOTE: TypeIV to WS is very much like DexronIII to DexronVI.)
