I'm getting a transmission flush on my '95 SC400 soon. I received quotes from two very reputable shops. One is a Merc and BMW specialist that also works on a lot off Lexus', while the other is a Lexus/ Toyota specialist. The Lexus/ Toyota shop is owned by a former Lexus mechanic and former Toyota mechanic. They have performed all my services and repair that I have not done myself since I've owned this car (about a year and a half)

Here's my dilemma:

The Lexus/ Toyota shop quoted me $120 for a flush using Elf Synthetic ATF
The other shop quoted me $165 for a flush using Amsoil Synthetic ATF

Which one would you go with?

Thanks for your help

Elf makes some good products in terms of oil and coolant. However, only two ATFs I would ever use in a Lexus are Amsoil or the Toyota Type IV for my RX300.

 

Id stick to the Amsoil or T4 also.. If you can get the toyota/lexus guys to use the Amsoil or T4, then i would go with them.
