Damn!
Really? The last time I changed my tranny fluid was from the stock Toyota Type IV to Amsoil synthetic ATF and that was about 3 years ago. Even with my heavy foot and high stall PI TC that Amsoil ATF still looks new!!! But I think it's time to change the fluid again and figured why not try the Royal Purple ATF...it indicates that it is up to standards of Toyota Type III, IV, & V.
Can you provide a link (website) that may indicate tranny failure by using this? If so, I will just return it and buy Amsoil again.

I'm pretty sure you're mixing up what jeff is trying to say. You'll want more detergents and additives in the T-IV as it will help. Toyota designed the T-IV fluid in the first place since their clutch packs that uses T-IV fluid is very different than others on the market. If you use anything besides the recomended T-IV, you'll develop symptoms sooner or later.

Both amsoil and royal purple make very high quality oils. Putting those two wouldnt have any real noticable effects in transmission longevity compared to stock Toyota Type IV.
My buddy owns a serious of transmission shops and said as long as you make sure your fluid is flushed properly and your using higher quality fluids there shouldnt be anything to really worry about.![Thumb Up](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
