Default Mobil 1 transmission fluid
Well folks finally switched to Mobil 1 tranny fluid about 6 months ago and everything is great, however I cant find any anywhere now for replacement.
None at Pep Boys, Kragen, Napa, Autozone....Seems according to Kragen it has been banned in California...Anybody heard of this.?

yes there are many people on here that say it has been banned in California. If your close to the border, go across in another state and try.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...=ATVPDKIKX0DER May want to try and order from Amazon. Sometimes things are banned only from store shelves.

The viscosity is not too much different between M1 and the Toyota Type IV (also an Exxon Mobil product).
