Whooooa, I'm not an expert here, but -- I think Perry is suggesting you use
the kind of oil you put into a differential. Why don't you call the Toyota
service department. Or talk to the people at Jiffy Lube or Oil Can Henry's.
Modern transmissions use light weight oil.
Hell, the factory manual for the Austin Healey transmission/overdrive calls
for SAE 30W oil. Why are there so many people on this list that keep insisting
you should use heavy oil in their transmissions?
My personal preference is to use RedLine MTL - but I'm a racer so I spend the
extra dollars for maximin performance.
