Default ATF mobil 1

I went to Autozone to get the ATF pan gasket and filter today. The only oil they had was Mobil 1 ATF for multi vehicle use. Is this ok? It was around $7.49 a quart. Thanks

The new formula states it is suitable and I think we have one person who is trying it at the moment.

Many years ago in Mexico with the old Mobil 1 ATF formula, I knew of a couple that brought their Harriers over the Pacific to Mexico (diplomats) and had used Mobil 1 ATF with no issues at least during the time I was there.

Also suitable for use in vehicles that specify the following fluid requirements:

* Audi G 052 025-A2, G 052 162-A1
* BMW LA2634
* Esso LT 71141
* ETL-7045E, ETL-8072B, N402
* Ford* MERCON*, MERCON V, MERCON LV

I'm going to be running it in my wife's 2003 RX, Lexus hasn't gotten my trans pan gasket yet, it'll probably be in today (apparently it wasn't actually ordered when I asked for it...) I'll keep everyone posted.

Are you sure you are looking at "Mobil 1". It sounds to me like you are looking at just "Mobil" multi vehicle trans fluid which is a synthetic blend compatible with Toyota Type T-IV. They also have "3309" which is a blend compatible with Type T-IV. I am using "Mobil 1" which is a full synthetic trans fluid.

Default Not sure

I could not find the number that states 3309 on the bottle. It said multi vehicle full syn. I will go to another parts store and see if they have the same. Where is a good place to find it?

And on the rear where it notes Toyota Type IV. I use this stuff for my power steering fluid.
