i need to find this quick but the search option has failed me

i need to do a drain and fill on my 99 gs400. i need to know what type and how many litres/quarts/imperial quarts i need for the following:

-transmission? i was told toyota type T-IV 1.9litres/1.42quarts/1.7imperial quarts, but the mechanic says it needs more.

- differential? SAE 90 API GL-5? i am running a supra TT LSD rear end.

- coolant? i am clueless on this one...

thanks

I think the tranny requires 2 quarts maybe a little more. I recently used Amsoil ATF as suggested by DaShocker and many others. It definitely makes the tranny shift very smooth and is Lexus type T-IV compatible.

As far as the LSD, I also have a supra 3.76 LSD. I used Royal Purple Max Gear 75W90; you need about 2 quarts maybe a little less. You fill it until it starts to pour out. That stuff works great for this type of LSD.

The coolant, I have no idea; just use what's recommended.
GL!

i'm going to have trouble with the coolant. the previous owner did not use toyota red and it's conventional green coolant. i'm thinking if i did just a regular drain and fill, it's not going to be enough... not sure what color green and red mixed together will give me

GSoup

Oil - Engine, with filter..........5.7 quarts
Coolant - Cooling System, Initial Fill..........8.0 quarts
ATF - Automatic Transmission, Initial Fill..........2.0 quarts
ATF - Automatic Transmission, Total Fill..........8.8 quarts
Differential - Differential, Rear..........2.8 pints

i went to read up on dashocker's thread about amsoil atf... any idea how many quarts i would need to if i do the power fluid exchange? there is a shop that has that unit, but they do not carry amsoil, so i would have to bring it in myself.

Well, probably the amount that GSoup mentioned above for a complete fill. Maybe more because you are going to want to flush it first with new fluid then drain then do a final re-fill again. Mine was expensive because Amsoil is not cheap especially when you have to buy 8 or more qts. I think I paid almost $100 just for the Amsoil ATF when they were doing my tranny flush and installing my PI TC; if my memory serves me well...but it's been a little skittish lately. lol

yes the amsoil comes to about $12/qt. where i am, and i have to buy it in little 1qt. containers because the only place that sells it dosen't do it by the jug

GSoup

Order it straight from Amsoil it may be cheaper...
