The more you buy the better the deal with the $7.99 shipping. If you can use 12 bottles you may call the local Toyota dealer and see what the parts guy can do. They usually try to be competitive with online sellers.

Not the ones around me, they wanted 250 for a strut rod.
as previous stated, they are the same stuff. get what is most easily available to you.
when i did my trans flush, iirc the fluid was fairly cheap (under $5/quart) and i sourced it from a lexus dealership!

MAYBE NOT ON STRUT RODS BUT It's still worth a call to ask them to price match the AISIN FLUID. BUT, I see it's too late, you've already gone to traditionally high priced everything. How was the price compared to Rock Auto, shipping/tax all taken into account?
An extra $5 on 4 qts, you'll forget about this in a day. I believe I've read posts about not mixing different brands of fluids. Oil, transmission, brake, etc. So if this is a drain and fill, that thinking would apply. You don't mention the mileage or model of your vehicle. If this the first drain and fill, sticking to Toyota brand is likely to be a match to the old fluid. Hope you've done some research on how fussy Toyota/Lexus transmissions can be especially with Techstream software and temperature of the engine when doing the procedure. I'm no expert but I've read many threads about issues due to straying from Lexus procedure. Just don't want to see you have any regretful issues. Let us know how things turn out for you so we can learn.

Didn't bother me, I would've paid more if I got from rock and had them shipped
