    What is a tq shudder?

    Its caused by clutch plate slipping due to worn transmission fluid, in worse case it would need a torque converter but if the oil is exchanged at early stage, then the issue usually goes away. The best way to find out is to do a drain and fill and add a tube of lube guard, if issue improves...

    Transmission Filter Change - waste of time?

    I have a Magnefine inline filter on my transmission cooler line and do full fluid exchage every 60,000 with Aisin AFW+ synthetic. My oil generally comes out clean so I don't bother with the metal mesh thats used in the A750 transmission on my Toyota.

    Fun order from Japan - PIAA Twin Power + Magnet Oil Filter

    Under the same circumstances, got the same dark and not dirty color with AISIN PAO group IV synthetic, Respol competicion and Toyoya synthetic which I believe is sourced from Caltex. Dirt in oil is usually from a leaky air box and in this case its a water sealed airbox to be used with the...

    Fun order from Japan - PIAA Twin Power + Magnet Oil Filter

    I use the Competicion 5W-40 and before that, I used AISIN PAO group IV synthetic but they are hard to source sometimes so I stick to Respol, As for the oil getting dirty, it gets dark when used extensively in dust but combination of the PIAA filter along with snorkel as well as crank case...

    ATF: Amsoil Signature vs Toyota WS vs Idemitsu

    Wonder how the fully synthetic AISIN AFW+ would hold against the rest. It's a WS compatible oil that I have been using on all my Toyota automatics. The specs are more like a Toyota Dexron IV. I have Magnefine inline to all the oil coolers. The color after sixty thousand comes out remarkably good...

    Anything bad with seemingly low ATF temps ?

    Toyota A750 and other transmissions used in their trucks the like of Tundra, Tacoma and FJ Cruisers are notorious for running hot to meet fuel economy ratings.
