Yeah I did notice success with amsoil, but it is not available in my region.
Have you heard anything about any other brands, like motul, molly, kroon oil, bardahl or anything else?

Wait, did I see it correctly and you used Mannol ATF?
I'm asking because all I hear all the time from almost anyone is that you should use only Toyota genuine ATF WS, nothing else will be compatible with this factory fluid and may ruin your transmission once mixed. Always been wondering if that's truth.
So did you have any problems after mixing it? I did replace 3qt of my fluid with Toyota WS together with a filter, but I want to flush out old fluid completely out with other brand's compatible ATF, since as far as I know Toyota WS is not fully synthetic fluid.
How is your car driving so far?

According to my FSM I only have 8qts in my gearbox so this should be a fully dilute way to clean all the old fluid out.
1st time: 2quarts
2nd time: drive around the block and 2qts
3rd time: '' 2 qts
4th time: '' 2qts
5th time: filter and gasket plus 2.5 quarts
According to TUV:
Mineral
Semi-synthetic (Any mix more than 50% mineral)
Synthetic (Any mix less than 50% mineral)
HC-Synthese (Hydrocarbon recracked oil made almost near fully synthetic 90%>)
Fully-Synthetic (99%>)
They don't make the transmission or the fluid for it. It's just rebranded atf. You can use any ws fluid
So far so good clocked now over 700mls (1100km) and still smooth as silk.

Hello. I'm in the United States. So I'm about to change the fluids in our car. I believe they have changed the TM fluid before at the Lexus dealer. I guess I'll have a good indication when the fluid comes out. Either way, I'm going to still change it, and the filter. So, do I need to go to the Toyota dealer and get the Toyota ATF-WS Synthetic transmission fluid? I'll make sure I buy enough and use the method folks are using here. Please advise. Thanks.

To flush the full system out get 10qts.

Do you recommend me using amsoil at 110mi for my 1st drain n fill or the transmission might act up ? My transmission never had any maintenance before!! So I’m wondering if I can mixing it up since ws is not synthetic and amsoil 100% full synthetic and from what I heard it’s really effective and high quality
