Quick Amsoil Question ????

I signed up for the preferred customer deal $10 for 6 months. However, it comes up with two diffrent tranny fluids for the 00' 4runner. The ATD Auto torque drive and the normal ATF thats seems to be what everybody mentions here. I was wondering : What do you use? Thanks!

See my other thread...

Use the one that is designed to meet the requirements of Aisin Warner transmissions. You need the words "Toyota T-III" or Toyota T-IV" somewhere on the label/data sheet.

AMSOIL ATF is recommended for transmission, hydraulic and other applications requiring any of the following specifications:

GM DEXRON? II & III
Ford MERCON?, MERCON? V
Chrysler ATF+ through ATF+4?
Honda Z-1 (Not for use in CVT transmissions)
Toyota Type T and T-IV
Mitsubishi/Hyundai Diamond SP II & III
Allison C-3, C-4
Caterpillar TO-2
Voith G607, G1363
ZF TE-ML 14A, 14B & 14C
Mercedes Benz 236.1, 236.6, 236.7, 236.9
BMW 7045E
JWS 3309
Vickers I-286S & M-2950S
Excellent for power steering units that use ATF.
Not for use in CVT transmissions.


DO NOT USE TORQUE DRIVE !!!

Product Applications

AMSOIL Torque-Drive is recommended as a direct replacement for Allison? or Castrol? TranSynd? Synthetic ATF in heavy duty, on and off highway automatic transmissions manufactured by Allison?, General Motors?, Voith? and Ford? or wherever the standards TES-295, C-4, Dexron? III or Mercon? are specified. Examples of operations that benefit from using AMSOIL Torque-Drive include municipal or transit buses, garbage haulers, motor homes, delivery vans, emergency vehicles, school buses, dump trucks, utility vehicles, cement trucks, line haul trucks and tow trucks.

Where extended drain intervals are not specified by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM), it is recommended that AMSOIL Torque-Drive be evaluated with oil analysis at standard OEM drain intervals or more frequently to establish proper drain interval. Where extended drain intervals are recommended by the OEM, follow that recommendation. This includes the recommendations set by Allison? in document #10-TR-99 Rev. B, January 2002, for TES-295 quality fluids.

Wow, that's pretty misleading then. Because I typed in my make and model and it listed the torque drive right under the ATF. Thanks!
