Default Best Place to Buy TYPE IV trans Fluid

Where is the cheapest place to buy this stuff? the dealers charge almost $30 + TAX for a 4 liter jug. Is there somewhere online to get it for around $20 shipped?

thanks.
Plus is it easy to drop the pan and change the filter?

Longo Lexus charges $28
West Covina Toyota $29
Glendora Toyota $31
Montclair Toyota $30

Toyota dealers have online coupons sometime worth 25% off, and in my area, they accept other dealers' coupon. That's how you can get it for around $23 + tax.

Oil filters, too.

I believe the Lexus trans does not have a filter, that's why you need to change the trans fluid every 15,000 miles and flush every 30,000 miles.

If you have an after market TC, I would change and flush the trans fluid more often, depends how you drive.
