Default Trans Fluid TII or TIV

OK here it is
I picked up some Toyota Type T-IV trans fluid to do a drain and fill today.
I have a 92SC400
I checked the fluid before I started and realized that on the dipstick it says T II
all searches on CL told me to use type T IV, which is it ?

T-IV has replaced T-II. Its the one to use in you SC400.

T-IV is just a newer version of the fluid.

It's just like DEXRON. Early 90's Japanese cars use DEXRON II for the transmission but DEXON III later came out and replace DEXRON II.

Thanks guys,
Well this long weekend I will do a tranny drain and fill.
I heard that I will only get 2 quarts out so I only picked up 2 quarts should I get 1 more?

checking your dip stick(when hot) is the only way to tell. Sometimes i only need 2 sometimes i need up to 2.5!
