We've discussed the issue you mention many times on this forum. OEM tranny fluid is not synthetic, it is an ExxonMobil fluid. Amsoil would be your better bet as it is synthetic and I as I recall we have had not a single issue with someone using it in our RX300s, if nothing else, positive performance. Take a look at Amsoil's site, www.amsoil.com

You can get it different sizes, but at the Carquest I went to they only had quarts.

When I did my last drain and fill, I used 4 quarts on the dot after draining the front differential and tranny pan.
