I'm planning to change my transmission fluid tomorrow and I would like to know if this Fluid is safe for my car...its called MOBILE SUPER Atf 3309. Link is this:

thank you in advance

I believe the Mobil makes the Toyota T-IV and the 3309 is identical to it. Should be a good choice if you elect to not use a synthetic.

Yup, it's safe. Mobil 3309 is the same as toyota type-iv

thank you so much for the reply...i will change the fluid tomorrow. One more question, do you guys think that 7 L of ATF are enough?

Depends on whether you're just doing a drain and fill or a complete change. For a drain and fill it will take about 4-4.5 Qts. (US) and for a complete change (pump through) it will take about 11-12 Qts. (US).

dont forget to drop and drain the differential plug.

[QUOTE=lserlohn] why not synthetic?



Your right! I would use either Wolf`s Head, or Castrol Import vehicle fluid. Do at least two changes with in a week to get all the fluid out. Should probably do three changes to be sure.

[QUOTE=lexus114;6592194]x2 or 3, whatever it is. I've been using Castrol Import Multi-Vehicle and it's been working perfect.

Did a pan drop, filter change, and fluid exchange using Wolf's Head Universal Synthetic and am very happy with the results.

Both the Castrol mivf,and the WH fluid did very well in my 01`s trans.

Regarding quantity: I changed 9 3/4 quarts, but I wish I'd bought a whole case (12 quarts). I would have used it all. I drained the trans pan, refilled, and pumped 5 more quarts into a large container from the cooler return line with the engine running briefly. If you're only draining the fluid in the pan and differential, 6-7 quarts might be about right. Check the level before draining, and measure the amount that you drained out.

FWIW... When I drain & fill (both plugs) I remove and replace a shade over 4 quarts.

i have changed my transmission fluid drain and fill ...i have remove exactly 4 litres of fluid. So i have put the same amount of fresh ATF. When i drove a few blocks and highway, i returned home to measure the fluid. I'm surprise that the liquid line was above the Type IV line dipstick. Is that ok? Or Should I drain a bit just below the HOT line?

I did a drain and fill about 300 miles ago and when i refilled i overfilled a bit over the line but it seems to be running fine for me.
