    The Transmission (A245E) Notes: it shifts perfectly, and I mean flawlessly, not a single harsh shift, before and after fluid changes.

    Using non-WS spec'd ATF in 6-speed U660E automatic transmission?

    So I have these from when I used to own older Toyotas that used T-IV ATF, I have too many of these on hand for me to justify using something else in my WS spec'd transmissions in my 08 Lexus ES 350 and 14 Toyota Avalon XLE, unless you guys think that I should only be using an ATF that states on...
