Toyota 00289-ATFWS Lexus & Automatic Transmission Fluid WS ATF World Standard, Pack of 4

Great OEM fluid. Just bought a car and wanted to refresh the fluids, and this was what I needed.

Great price and works good

As expected. Great value!!

As advertised

Transmissions are a vital component in our cars, and with more electronic control, increased number of gears, and increased city driving/traffic, we need to do maintenance on our car's transmissions periodically. Toyota's BS about "lifetime transmission fluid" means that the fluid will keep your transmission working at least through their warranty. If you plan on leasing or selling your car off before it acts up, I wouldn't bother with the maintenance. For me, we plan to keep our cars longer than the warranty, and I did some research on fluids. The forums are littered with 2 perspectives: use only toyota WS fluid, and those that are using something better, like amsoil or equivalent. I'm part of the initial group, and although WS isn't the best fluid there is out there, it works and if I change it often, it'll work fine for my needs. I suppose there's a 3rd group who will use other fluids as well (valvoline maxlife is what I'm thinking here), but multi-manufacturer fluids may not work perfectly for every brand. YMMV. I've done fluid swaps on an '08 yaris, '18 camry, '12 prius, '14 yaris, and '16 avalon. All take WS, and all have different drain/fill techniques. All had drastically different mileage intervals where the fluid was swapped, but all are running down the road equal to how they were before. The common thing on all these was I didn't flush the transmission, but just did a drain and fill. Each car was roughly 2-3 quarts drained, and for the cars with dipsticks, I measured the drained and added back the equivalent and checked the dipstick. For those like the prius, it's similar to a manual transmission or transfer case where you drain, fill until it falls out the fill hole, and cap. For those without dipsticks, I use a temperature gun to measure transmission temperature while idling after draining and refilling with a bit extra fluid, then drain excess fluid when it's at the correct temperature. This is somewhere around 104-114F. You can also use a higher level code scanner or scan gauge to read transmission fluid temperature, though the temperature gun was sufficient for my usage. I'd recommend ~30k mile intervals for those who like doing maintenance frequently and if you do more city than highway miles. I'd also say this is a good benchmark if you tow or have heavy loads consistently. Otherwise, I'd go 50-60k mile intervals for normal maintenance and/or more highway miles. Considering it's $10 a quart, 3 quarts, about $30 to do a fluid drian/fill, it's cheap insurance for a healthy transmission. Since most transmissions hold upwards of 12 quarts, 3 quarts changed isn't much of the total capacity, but will refresh the fluid slightly. I know there are plenty that never change their fluid and the cars still last a long time, but for me, I'd rather just do the maintenance and keep my transmission shifting smoothly. As for the review of the fluid, works great. No complaints other than I had several of the bottles seep/leak during shipping. Amazon took care of this however and all the cars that used this fluid are working as expected many thousands of miles later.

Did a drain and fill in my ‘22 RX350. About 3.5 qts drained out the pan. I did the IR thermometer method to check the fluid level in the pan. You can also do the jumper method in the scan port but don’t know about that method. Those factory o-rings in the drain bolt are crazy expensive from the Lexus dealer. Maybe I’ll try Toyota dealer next time. My BlueDriver scan tool does not have transmission temperature feature. I’m thinking to do a second drain and fill soon for peace of mind. So far the car drives and shifts like normal.

I would give it 5 stars, except for the fact that i think its way overpriced, not the sellers fault, just the way oem stuff is, I had already ordered this stuff, when i walked into pep boys and saw that castrol came out with a full synthetic tranny fluid called(transmax full synthetic transmisssion fluid - btw not all places carry this, the only place ive seen this sold is at pep boys)so like i was sayin, thats compatible with all the toyota transmissions for 8.99 a qt instead of the oem stuff which came out to around 11 something a qt. On a side note, can you believe that toyota recommends to NEVER change out the tranny fluid for cars that are using WS, they must be smokin something up in headquarters. I dont think we've gotten to that point in time where fluids last for the life of the car with out needing to be changed. just my opinion.

There is a high intensity LED light behind the first sample and then the second sample. The "dark" fluid is the transaxle drain oil from my 2007 Prius with ~200,000 miles on it. The right vial contains the new fluid that replaced it. To its credit, the old fluid kept a lot of contaminants in suspension. My transmission was not functioning abnormally, I just felt that at 200k miles, it was time to change it. This feeling was supported by observation of the removed fluid. TIPS: The drain and fill plugs were a little difficult to remove, and I ended up using my electric impact wrench since I was starting to round the corners on my Fill Plug trying to remove it (24mm 12 pt socket). The impact worked, but I had to remove additional plastics to get access to the fill plug using the impact. I replaced the crush washers (which are identical) on both plugs. To do this quickly, ramps are a big help. From the ramps, crack loose, but do not remove the fill and drain plugs. Back the car off of the ramps and onto level ground. Place a drain pan under the drain plug (10mm allen socket) and fully remove the plug allowing the fluid to drain into the pan. When empty, replace the plug using a new crush washer. Torque to specification. Use a second person to help. Remove the fill plug. Using a funnel with a three foot piece of 3/8 ID clear vinyl hose attached (so you can see the fluid), place a 3/8 inch barbed plastic elbow at the end of the hose. Do not put any more hose on the other side of the barbed "L". The smaller diameter of this elbow will slip inside the transmission fill hole loosely, so you can tell when it is full by overflowing. Feed this hose down from the top and lean under the car and put the open barbed end into the fill hole. Move the drain pan forward to catch oil when it overflows. Have your partner add oil while you hold the elbow into the hole and observe. It should start back flowing out of the fill hole after you added about 3.75 quarts. Remove the elbow from the fill hole, let the transaxle fluid stabilize its level and then cap the fill hole with the plug and new crush washer. Torque to specification. Clean up the residual oil and do final reassembly. The object of the procedure is to have the car level during the refill. If you leave it on the ramps, you will overfill the transaxle which WILL cause problems. If you found this information useful, please press the appropriate button so more people see this review.

Flushed ATF in 09 toyota. No issues

Replaced hybrid transaxle fluid in my Prius. Works well.

This work great for my 2008 Toyota Sequoia Limited. It could have been 5 Stars but the advertised photos are different from what I have received. I don't know why. I have watched a Youtube video showing the comparison of the advertised photos vs from what I received, the one I have received said in that video is not in any way superior to the one advertised. Overall I'm happy with it. I have changed my transmission oil 2 weeks ago and there is no slippage or any other issues. As long as it stays that way, I'm very happy with it.

This was the best price hands down that I could find for genuine Toyota ATF

My 2010 Corolla transmission fluid needed a top up and this Toyota ATF keeps my transmission running extra smooth.
