For example, the OEM Toyota ATF is Type T-IV, but my car needs Dexron III.
Most people use Mobil 1 Synthetic, Redline or some other aftermaket brand.
Oh and I don't even know what car you have....

speaking of which i bought a Mobil1 http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/..._ATF_3309.aspx Type - IV 4Liters. I also spoke to lexus dealer and they said that other brand names are fine too. Will do a drain n fill method hopefully next week along with an Castrol GTX oil change.

Since we are on the subject of tranmission fluids. Can someone give me a definitive answer on which one I need? I also want to replace my tranny fluid. I can even give you my transmission number.
p.s.: It would be really helpful if we had a reference table for all years of the ES and what ATF is compatible with each year. Then if we had it as a sticky, we could just redirect everyone to one place.
