Well, the beneficial part of flushing your transmission and power steering is a maintence matter more than anything. I've notice that my transmission shift better when I flush the fluid. So I highly recomend that you go out and get yourself three quarts of toyota Type IV transmission fluid and do a simple flush and drain. It doesn't hurt to have new fluid in the transmission as it can only help lubricate better.

The only two transmission fluid that the A650E transmission that is equipped in our cars that we can use without trickly the CEL is the stock Toyota Type IV fluid and the Amsoil synthetic transmission fluid. Both of these fluid are synthetic from factory. Don't ask me how I know this but trust me when I say those are the only two fluid that can be used in our transmission.

Be absolutely certain you refill with the correct fluid. This Mobil ATF 3309 meets Toyota type T-IV.

Interesting.. I will confirm with a buddy of mine at the Lex dealership when I get back in town.
