Which ATF Fluid (Dex III) do you all recommend for a 98 ES300?
I am planning on changing the transmission fluid, filter, and gasket. But I am not sure what specific fluid is "best", I've heard Amsoil OE Multi-Vehicle Synthetic ATF, Valvoline Maxlife ATF, Castrol Transmax Import Multivehicle are some of the most commonly used. I purchased Mobil ATF Fluid D/M from Costco but I'm not sure whether it is good to use. Additionally, where have you all purchase your transmission filter/gasket from. If anyone could provide any insight I'd greatly appreciate it and I apologize in advance if this question has come up a lot.

Works great in the power steering system as well. Don't know anything about Mobil ATF Fluid D/M except it's a modified (improved?) version of DexIII. I get my transmission service kits (gasket and strainer) from the local auto parts store, get the one with a neoprene style gasket anything cork will not last.
