Amsopil transmission fluid two thumbs up!
Hi all, I changed my yaris transmission fluid back in april 28 at 47,883. Old fluid had a deep purple color. I put 2 quarts and 20 oz of toyota ws in. Toyota ws was about 7.69 at my dealer. Then I got another 10% off w/ my rewards card. Yaris shifted better. Then at 55,118 in october I drained fluid again(still purple but not as dark as before) and used the amsoil ws compatiable fluid i got for around $10.50 a quart at the local hardware store. I used 2 quarts of amsoil and 20 ounces of toyota W/S. You can barely feel yaris shift. It is as smooth as can be. Either its the amsoil or my 2nd change that did it. I torqued drain plug to 30lb ft of torque. Figured if the oil drain plugs are torqued to 29lb ft;30 would work for transmission. I plan on dropping pan at 100K and changing filter and pan gasket. Then I will use 2 quarts amsoil and 1 quart 20 oz of toyota WS fluid. I dont want all amsoil. I want some toyota WS in the mix. the 20 ounces is close to the .6 of a quart. Yaris manual states 2.6 quarts to fill after drain. 2 quarts 20 ounces is very close. Toyota spec is on the money as my dipstick showed the fluid in between the notches. And for whatever reason the amsoil fluid has a very strong odor. Pour slowly into funnel. If you pour to fast tranny fluid can back up in dipstick tube and run out.
