Hi - The Signature Amsoil ATF costs about 60% more than Toyota WS. The OE Amsoil ATF is about the same price. Would there be value in switching to the OE Amsoil - at least it is synthetic, or is the Signature Amsoil the best way to go? Thx!

It depends on what you have and for what purpose you are using it

@@repairvehicle I have a 2009 Toyota Tundra 4WD 5.7L with 110,000 miles. I had the fluid changed at 60,000 miles, then I did 3 drain-and-fills a few months ago with Toyota WS. Thinking about switching to either Amsoil OE or Amsoil Signature ATF. I do tow a boat during the summer months. Is the Amsoil OE fluid better than the Toyota WS, since it is synthetic? Would you recommend using the Amsoil Signature over the Amsoil OE?

Oe is definitely better than ws, however signature series is your best choice due to higher heat it can tolerate since you are towing.

I prefer to buy at a brick and mortar then online. Can you help.thanks. also thanks again for answering my Silverado question last week. Your awesome.

[@repairvehicle]

Amsoil products sold through many independent auto parts stores. However, cost is higher vs purchasing online. Because stores have to make money and they increase price per bottle. If you purchase online, you have choice to purchase at wholesale price with preferred customer service. Or purchase retail price at lower prices than stores sell. With online purchase, you have option for free shipping. Depending on your location, you can have your products shipped in 3 days or less, that's how been my experience. There 2 types of atf fluids available for your camry OE and Signature series. I use signature series in every vehicle I have.

Several PPM (Parts Per Million) of contaminants could come from the test machine's calibration variations and/or contaminants from handling the sample. I wouldn't be too concerned. The higher viscosity is an interesting fact. This can affect transmission performance. It would be nice to know what friction coefficients are obtained with the different oil formulations. Do you have test results for fresh Amsoil ATF? BTW, transmission oil in my 2016 4Runner, looked clear brownish at only 20,000 miles when I installed an external oil cooler. I really expected the fluid to look red at only 20k. The vehicle wasn't used for towing or in any extreme conditions. I did a partial fluid replacement with Amsoi,l Fuel Saving ATF. Currently I got 45,000 on the vehicle and it's probably ready for another fluid change. It's not shifting as smooth as it used to. I'm conflicted about what brand ATF to use this time.

Changed 4 runner at 50 k with Amsoil. The WS fluid was dark purplish color. My advice to you is use Amsoil and don’t look back. It works great with great shifts you can flush at home(if you know how to do it) or do 3-4 drain and fill and you will get 90 percent of old fluid changed. But Amsoil is the way to go.

Is Amsoil atf compatible with a hybrid cvt? Or should I use the WS fluid? These’s some special fill process I guess you have to follow to make sure you have the correct level.

[@repairvehicle]

Amsoil is compatible here’s the link www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2009/lexus/ls600h/5-0l-8-cyl-engine-code-2ur-fse-4/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753 I am not sure about special fill process, I will look it up and get back to you later today or tomorrow

Oxidation of 32 mean this is a Group II + POE base oils formulation.

[@repairvehicle]

How do you know it’s a group 2?

[@cmte.brazinazzo2061]

@repairvehicle it's mineral, group 3 is called synthetic. They wouldn't use a group I solvent extracted wax and a group V. Prolly Group II+. A Group II has a good natural dispersancy because of its branched molecule characteristics.

[@repairvehicle]

@@cmte.brazinazzo2061 just because it’s called group 3 , doesn’t mean it’s synthetic

[@cmte.brazinazzo2061]

@@repairvehicle now we're not going back to Mobil x Castrol again. Group III is considered a synthetic by the industry. Not from Amsoil 😄

[@repairvehicle]

@cmte.brazinazzo2061 true synthetic oils not made from group 3, because group 3 is not synthetic. Only synthetic blends made from group 3 and relabeled as full synthetic oils to take advantage of people

Will still be switching to Amsoil

@@repairvehicle Which Amsoil transmission oil do you recommend for 2013 FJ 4x4?

[@repairvehicle]

Here's the link. I use signature series, in all of my vehicles. I recommend signature series for those who wants best possible transmission protection www.amsoil.com/lookup/auto-and-light-truck/2013/toyota/fj-cruiser/4-0l-6-cyl-engine-code-1gr-fe-z/?volume=us-volume&zo=5257753

No problem.

My lady has a 2012 Scion Xb with the automatic trans. I believe it's been changed twice in it's life. First one with filter around 150k miles. Second around 200k. It's now at 236k miles. Runs fine for the most part. This past week she took it up to cooler weather and one early morning while she was gonna leave to the store she shifted into R and it didn't shift at all. But once it warmed up it shifted fine. I'm thinking the fluid might be old and need a few changes. The last time it was drained and filled it "fixed" a slow shift issue. What are your thoughts? Subscribed to your channel. Great info!

[@repairvehicle]

You will be surprised how comments I get from people who changed their fluid and problems with transmission went away. However, I would check to see if there are any codes. Also, check fluid level.

[@ottallman]

@@repairvehicle fluid level is within range cold and when warm. It has 2 ranges on the dipstick. No codes have been thrown by the transmission yet. I've seen a couple of your videos dealing with transmissions and I will give Amsoil a try. Amsoil fixed a rough shifting synchro issue in my old 2006 Nissan Spec-V 6-speed manual even when it was still new. Made the 1-2-3 shifts buttery smooth. Thanks for your reply.

[@sd906238]

Maybe the fluid level was low. The cold temps could of the level go below the point it wouldn't shift.

[@ottallman]

@@sd906238 a few fluid drain and fills with a filter for the final got rid of the issue. Sitting at 271k miles now

Here in the USA , I recently went to a Toyota Dealer to buy a transmission filter / strainer for my 2020 Toyota Camry , which has 40000 + miles . They couldn't understand why I would want to change it . A filter filters whatever and they can / do get clogged , you are unable to see until you remove it . And they said your fluid is " lifetime " . I know there is thoughts to change fluid ranging from 30000 - 60000 miles . I want to have it changed every 30000 miles and new filter . Others say just " drain and fill " and when to change the filter !? I will seek out a shop that sells / uses Amsoil products in their servicing of customers vehicles . To have a " transmission service " done as I want to .

[@repairvehicle]

Watch this video about transmission filter kzbin.info/www/bejne/j2PJaJd8g7VraM0 Remember 99% of dealers don’t work or service cars past warranty. When you ask about filter replacement or fluid they have no clue what someone is talking about because dealers don’t work on cars past warranty time, independent shops or dyi.

Toyota ws is complete garbage , I took a trip to Death Valley California then Nevada and my transmission was slipping on my 2017 Camry (110F Degree weather , black top was around 135 or more ) I was a little worried , first thing I did was research and of course it’s conventional crap , I switched to amsoil full syn shifts buttery smooth

[@baine5.7]

An toyota motor oil is really mobile one , transfer case in trucks, are Borge Warner.

[@repairvehicle]

Transfer case Borge Warner 2014 and up. If its made by Mobil 1 or other oil companies it does not have same specification.

[@jack8356]

Yeah i plan on change my to synthetic when i do my first transmission oil change. It shouldn't be a big problem with amsoil. Besides you cant get all the old oil out anyways so. And i heard you can mix it.

[@deedee-xi2cr]

i buy Toyota WS in a 4 liter can and its says Made in Japan.

Are you in US?

[@Truck12300]

Toyota owns Aisin AW 51.9% Aisin Seiki owns Aisin AW 42% So they're Toyota transmission.

[@repairvehicle]

I know that

[@gobsmacked230]

Those fluids are essentially identical... ppm numbers of 2 or less is inconsequential. I wouldn't be concerned about the differences...they are THE SAME...(pity actually...would've been nice if they went to a synthetic or synblend).

[@repairvehicle]

That why there are other companies that have synthetic atf

[@Unplugged704]

I went to Lexus yesterday asking for fluids for my 08 IS350. The parts guy told me they use Valvoline and not the ATF WS. Why is that when Lexus recommends WS???

[@repairvehicle]

That's how parts guys make extra money from uneducated consumers. They still charge you premium price for Toyota ws atf, but fill up transmission with low quality who knows what fluid.

[@Unplugged704]

@@repairvehicle Yeah don’t think or not sure how I came off as unaware or dumb to the guy.. LOL So you’re saying they should carry ATS WS, I just have to order and use it for my change?

[@Unplugged704]

@@repairvehicle Check this out. Earlier today I saw another tranny fluid change video and the guy is an actual tech at Lexus. I asked him which fluid he used…. His said they use the oem fluid, which is the ATS WS. Remember the parts guy at Lexus dealer I went to near me (Hendrick Lexus Northlake in Charlotte NC), told me they use Valvoline. To be fair perhaps it depends on the dealership? Some use WS and some don’t? I can’t understand why because Toyota/Lexus recommends WS.

[@repairvehicle]

You can use anything you want, its your car and you have to make a decision. I gave you my recommendation, I personally don't use Toyota ATF WS in my Toyota and Lexus.
