In the 7m I used Dexron III, flushed with about 12l when I first bought it (castrol). It wasn't until I bought the 1JZ that I started to really understand auto fluids. The fluid is designed to match the clutch packs inside the gearbox.I know a lot of the Soarer guys will be able to back this up. When I bought my engine, the fluid was pretty ordinary, so I bought 20l of Castrol's finest synthetic, Transmax Z. ($250) I thought that this would be the best for a high performance auto. How wrong could I be. After a few shift dramas and "burning" I bought the Toyota Type IV fluid ($25 for four litres) and reflushed the system. The car now gets between 1 and 2 k's per litre better fuel consumption. I don't mean to appear judgemental, just trying to help people, ht e quality of the fluid and periodicity of changes has a HUGE impact on the "hookup" of the gearbox and as such effects the economy of the engine. I have since learnt that the clutch material varies from gearbox to gearbox and as such, Toyota had their gearboxes and fluis specifically designed for them. Given the cost of the Toyota fluid (not much higher than Castrol Dexron III) this may be worth a try. Toyota also recommend a servicing (fluid change) period of 30000 kms on their autos.
