    Use the oil recommended by the manufacturer. There is little if any difference between brands.

    Oils ain't oils

    There is a difference between brands, I would rather use Motul over the cheap $10 crap.

    If Redline oils make ATF i would be using this (if you can afford it) otherwise look at what Toyota recommend and use a good quality oil like Redline or Motul

    Amsoil make transmission fluids?? hmm.. didn't know that..

    and there's mixed opinions about redlines.. some swear by it, some reckon it's not good for older boxes.. it's beyond my price range, and Castrol has never failed me... (yet?)

    I said use the oil recommended by the manufacturer, ie Toyota genuine, not "$10 crap".
