Lexmex is right, I replaced 7 of 9.8 quarts in RX300 AWD's tranny, https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=220061, after >11K miles, the shift is as smooth as new. Synthetic base stock oil is superior in protection than mineral based ATF

i'm definitely gonna have to switch. I've been using toyota atf and I had to drain and refill every 4 months (~800 miles for me). My daily commute consist of stop and go every 15-20 seconds, or sometimes less ![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
I can tell the ATF is not keeping up since the color gets dark within 800 miles. Time for a tranny cooler also.
Anyone know if I can drain and refil with the amsoil instead of having to go for a complete flush?

What I have been doing is every second oil change draining 2-3 quarts out (all that will come out) and refilling... I know this is probably excess, but it doesn't cost me that much as I do it myself... only the fluid itself... BTW, I have been using Amsoil for some time now, it claims to be Toyota T-IV compliant...

kinda like motor oil, so long as they have similar properties (are designed for the fcorrect application), you can mix/match all day... motor oil, you can mix synthetic and non-synthetic with no issues...
in at least this instance, the same applies for trans fluid...

is it advisable to put synthetic ATF on a high milage car? or would it be wise to go with high milage ATF fluid like the valvoline maxlife?
