You can buy the same fluid at a Toyota dealer at a much lower price. Use ONLY Toyota fluid. Don't use one of those power flush machines.

There's great info here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/ls4...er-thread.html

dealer seems ok if a case holds 12qts. that comes to $6.67 a quart which is reasonable. i've seen it for a bit cheaper at around $5/quart with a dealership discount.

as stated you can also get toyota type-IV at the toyota dealership as well. only use type-IV in your transmission!

$80. or 3 times that is way cheaper than a rebuilt transmission.
