Automatic transmission fluid Type T −IV
Change automatic transmission fluid only
as necessary. Generally, it is necessary to change auto-
matic transmission fluid only if your ve-
hicle is driven under one of the Special
Operating Conditions listed in your “Toyota
Service Booklet” or “Toyota Warranty
Booklet”. When changing the automatic
transmission fluid, use only Toyota Genu-
ine ATF Type T
−IV (ATF JWS3309 or
NWS6500) to aid in assuring optimum
transaxle performance.
Notice: Using automatic transmission
fluid other than Toyota Genuine ATF
Type TIV may cause deterioration in
shift quality, locking up of your trans-
mission accompanied by vibration, and
ultimately damage the automatic trans-
mission of your vehicle.
