Title: Oil thread - with a difference! - ATF - Mobil 3309/Toyota t-iv/GM 9986195
Post by: bigegg on 18 August 2013, 23:34:18

I need 10L of the above ATF - Mobil 3309/Toyota t-iv/GM 9986195 - to do a box flush on my lexus  :(

In the states, it's about $5 a quart - about £2.50 a litre.

the cheapest I can find is £28 a gallon - or £6.50 a litre  >:(
that supplier is about 15 miles away (so a tenner in petrol to collect)

anyone know of a cheaper alternative? OpieOils seems to be about £10 a litre + postage, so about £100, even with the discount, and there's been no promotions advertised for quite a while  :(

Am guessing from the gm number its a dexron atf you need to find what dexron it is am guessing its about dex 5 at that year, and a fully sympathetic at a guess, and also a life time fill with top ups so hence the price,

So you could use a good fully sympathetic atf i guess,try TC 20L drums on special offer i think.

mmm lot of conflicting info about weather its dex compatible or not, its used in volvos,saabs and toymotoers,but as you have the gm number worth a call there first, also check on shell.

When i had my saab it used the 3309,six fifty was as cheap as i could find it at the time and i was warned by my local saab specialist not to use anything but that spec.

The reason I have to flush is cos it's got something unknown (and brown, and gloopy) in it  :(
