Toyota "WS" Lifetime ATF

[Michael Wan]

Hi, I'm new around here, but I found out something interesting today so I joined this forum to pass it along to you folks.

I know that the newer 4Runners (04 or 05+) take this fluid.

I was curious about the Toyota World Standard "WS" Lifetime ATF, so I e-mailed the Toyota dealer today to check on the price of it:

Michael,
The World Standard ATF(part # 08886-02305) sells by the gallon for $41.60. We do have it in stock so you can swing on by and pick some up if you need it. Feel free to call or stop by if there is anything else we can help you with. Thanks.

Thoughts?

If you have this fluid in your trans, you HAVE to stay with it if you want to fill or add to it. Toyota strongly recommends you not mix a different type of fluid with this stuff. Also, if you have this fluid in your trans, you probably have the 'sealed' trans without a dip stick. So, checking and adding fluid is somewhat more difficult to accomplish.
