what fluids did uou to replace or did you use the oem fluids

 

I was looking for a sticky thread with the Toyota recommended fluids and filters etc,

 

looking at replacing tranny gear oil with motul multi dctf fluids / transfer case motul motyl gear oil 75w90 n rear diff with redline 75w90

 

Why would you put a Dual-Clutch Transmission Fluid (DCT) into your Manual Transmission gearbox @Sc0oby? , i think i remember using that oil on my Ford Focus RS even though it was a manual but that was specifically because it required the "WSS-M2C200-D2" specification ..i haven't looked but i am pretty sure Toyota would not warrant it unless i am mistaken?

Also putting slightly thicker in the Transfer and Rear , going from 75w-85 to 75w-90 isn't going to make a noticeable improvement on the protection front and you would also possibly be increasing drive train losses with the thicker oil which will shoot-up fuel consumption.

Few members on this forum have taught myself that bigger isn't always better and that there is specific reasons why OEM fluids are specifically fit for purpose.

 

motul multi dctf is 75w gear oil n wish we could get those oem oil at reasonable prices but eealer locally have been selling them for about same price as thos branded oil like redline or motul

 

Contacted my local Toyota dealer the other day to book my 2 year service. Was told that it didn't need doing because the sevice interval was every 12K miles or 2 years whichever comes first!!! When I informed them it was actually every 12 months or 6K miles I was met with silence. Fortunately I have another Toyota dealer fairly close by so shall be contacting them to see if they are any better informed.

 

Mine just had the 3yr/ 60000km done at 1750km..... and it needs to go in every 6mths here in Australia. There's no optional 6mth service, it has to be done here. (They do the engine oil and filter each service.)
