Hi there,
i'd like to know wich oil would be the better choix for the Yaris 133 TS tranny ?
Castrol recommend Castrol Syntrans Transaxle 75W-90, but i read it wasn't the best solution.
My dealer replaces my tranny last year (with a new one under warranty, the old one had a problem from 2nd to 3rd gear change), and it doesn't feel as smooth as it was.

In fact i must carefully change my gears (1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd etc..)
Same things appears when it's hot or cold. (maybe i have better feeling when it's cold)
I thought it could be the oil tranny.
I'd like to change it.
Wich one would you recommend to me ? i live in france.
Today in Paris it's 5 degrees (Celsius) :w00t:
Thx
:wink:

Redline, Motul, Royal Purple. These are the best brands that I have used (but there are others too). I currently run Redline in my turbo Yaris and the shifts are very smooth.

from my experience royal purple is a good brand but it comes down to a personal like or dislike.


I LOVE THESE THREADS :)
