I planned to try Type-IV as type IV is higher grade than the usual SP-III, the Toyota TYPE-IV is applicable for almost all SP-III model, but I myself not reli sure bout tis, so was asking for opinion though
how long did u service your ATF actually??
so meaning that you service every 20k km?? or 40k km? 20k km too earlier? any noticeable change of using TYPE-IV??

Nope. Toyota Type-IV is not a more superior product than SP-III.
They are of different spec, meant for different GB, and not interchangeable.
Please use ATF which offers full compatibility with SP III.

as what stated in the Toyota Type-IV, it's suitable for many types of ATF such as Dex-II, III, SP-III was in the list as well

That is something new to me.
Do you happened have the product data sheet of Toyota T-IV? I can't find any, except the nearest being Mobil ATF 3309.

http://pds.mobil.com/USA-English/Lubes/PDS...l_ATF_3309.aspx

Mobil ATF 3309 is widely known to be exactly same as Toyota T-IV. Not just for replacement, but the exact same formulation.

As we can see from the 3309 PDS link, SP-III is not listed.

Previously we had a discussion on this as well:

Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks.

Bro, you mentioned that been using Miller CFS?
How good is good? FC and performance as good or even better than the 2 I've mentioned? How much is it and where to get it?
Need more details as I do not want to go through a engine overhaul...hehe...
Thanks. Need to change today as my mileage reaches 9000km on Motul Htech.

Let's do a simple comparison of the few products mentioned here (similar products of grade XW-40). We list down two key parameters to determine the quality of engine oils scientifically, not through hearsay in layman terms.

TBN (Total Base Number, the higher the number the longer it lasts)
1. Mobil1 Advanced Full Synthetic 0W-40 - 12.6 mgKOH/g
2. Millers CFS 5W-40 NT - 10.11 mgKOH/g
3. Fosser Premium VS 5W-40 - 10.0 mgKOH/g
4. Millers EE LONGLIFE 5W-40 - 7.44 mgKOH/g

VI (Viscosity Index, The higher the value, usually it dictates the better the performance in the test)
1. Mobil1 Advanced Full Synthetic 0W-40 - 186
2. Millers CFS 5W-40 NT - 177
3. Fosser Premium VS 5W-40 - 171
4. Millers EE LONGLIFE 5W-40 - 170

Of course there are many other critical scientific parameters (such as Cold Cranking Viscosity, NOACK Volatility Test, etc.) to determine the quality of the oils, but they are not available from the official published data for comparison. I happened to see both Millers products have CCV of 6,600, which is actually a very poor result from a fully synthetic product.

On a side note, Millers EE LONGLIFE 5w40 offers a TBN figure of 7.44 only, which is indeed a worrying number. Personally i won't use it for OCI of 10,000km for traffic conditions in Malaysia. Perhaps it should be drained at 7,000km at best.

Let's go back to pricing:
1. Mobil1 Advanced Full Synthetic 0W-40 - RM152/4 quarts
2. Fosser Premium VS 5W-40 - RM200/4 litres (with free labour + oil filter)
3. Millers EE LONGLIFE 5W-40 - RM240/4 litres (with free labour + oil filter) (Price quoted from TDUEnthusiast)
4. Millers CFS 5W-40 NT - RM352/4 litres (Price quoted from Lowyat Garage Sales)

Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps...

Theoretically all aftermarket HID are illegal.
Only the factory fitted ones (which come with original car) are considered road legal.
