Mobil Delvac ATF for 3rd Gen

[northernT4R]

Hi - many people have indicated their preference for Mobil ATF products for use in their 4Runners. Since Mobil offers a variety of synthetic ATF fluids, is there one which is best for a '99 3rd gen? The Manual specifies a Dexron Type III fluid.

These are the variants I've been able to find:

Mobil Delvac Synthetic ATF
Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF
Mobil ATF 3309
Mobil Dexron VI ATF
Mobil Multi-Vehicle ATF

The Delvac is seemingly the most expensive, but also appears to be the one with the highest heavy-duty rating. ATF 3309 seems to be applicable to some Toyota transmissions, and Dexron VI is apparently backward compatible with Dexron III. Confusing.

Thanks!

I personally use Castrol Transmax Import Multi-vehicle.

I personally have used the Mobile Dexron VI ATF on my '99 and '00 4runners with no issues. I recommend that you do a drain and refill and its about 4 quarts that comes out when you drain it.
