    Mobil synthetic vs havoline pro ds

    I've used Havoline Pro DS 5w30 the last 2 intervals. 3rd change is due. But I have found a cheaper Havoline Pro DS 5w30 bottle which is labelled in Brazilian without the Dexos1 letters on label which is odd. Previous bottles said Made in USA with Dexos 1. Could the USA bottle be specific for USA...

    JWS 3309/T-IV - Total FluidMatic MV?

    Nope unfortunately not. Only 1 shop here in Uruguay sells the Toyota T-IV. The Total Fluide XLD FE comes in 1 litre containers and the tech pdf says 'meets the requirements' for Aisin/T-IV etc Always a confusing topic.

    JWS 3309/T-IV - Total FluidMatic MV?

    Hi, Looking to do another drain/refill. Can I mix Total Fluide XLD FE with Toyota T-IV? Last time it was filled and drain 2 times with Toyota T-IV. I want to do another drain/fill but the prices of the Toyota T-IV have shot up and only come in 4lt containers. Looking at Total I see Total...

    Odd Transmission Noise when cold

    I have a chevy aveo 2011/2012 and mine has started doing the same. If I leave it to idle for a minute or 2 it's fine, but if I put it into D or R straight away when cold it makes a grinding noise. It has almost 100,000 kms. I changed the atf and filter at 70k. Worth changing the filter and atf...

    JWS 3309/T-IV - Total FluidMatic MV?

    Checking the oil today its looking pretty dirty. Original from the factory. The original aisin is a yellow colour I believe like zf 6hp fluid. I can imagine I'll need to do 3 drain and refills at least. So I'll buy another 4 litre can of Toyota t-iv. Really expensive here about 20 usd a litre...

    JWS 3309/T-IV - Total FluidMatic MV?

    Also confusing info - Manual for the Aveo 2011 in English specifies T-IV but mine in Spanish 2011 (same 4 speed tranny) specifies 3309. Is this just for geographical/business reasons? I know Mobil has had most of the market here in the last 10 years. Trannies are the same aren't they?

    JWS 3309/T-IV - Total FluidMatic MV?

    Then when you read spec sheets for aisin t-iv it says jws3309 next to it. Don't the Toyota/suzuki/chevy have the same aisin 4 speed tranny that requires t-iv or 3309? https://www.ipdusa.com/products/105...4-jws3309-for-aisin-warner-transmissions

    JWS 3309/T-IV - Total FluidMatic MV?

    Well that is contradicting information. I understood Dexron III should not be used for T-IV/3309 filled transmissions. My chevy manual says JWS3309 or Total fluid IIIG. Total have said: Total Fluide G3 is a current brand name see attached this product is GM Dexron IIIH approved this replaced...

    JWS 3309/T-IV - Total FluidMatic MV?

    Total en Canada just got back to me and said: fluidmatic mv = jws 3309 = t-iv = old g3 We have an additional sheet with a more complete list will send tomorrow. Bit of a minefield as Dex III is not suitable for T-IV transmissions BUT G3 specs says it's recommended for all automatic...

    JWS 3309/T-IV - Total FluidMatic MV?

    By the looks of it G3 is just a version of Dex III by Total. Looks like the MV is not equivalent at all. Back to ordering Mobil 3309 from overseas I think.

    JWS 3309/T-IV - Total FluidMatic MV?

    I can only get hold of G3 here which doesn't list T-IV/3309 I see now on the specs. But MV says it's a replacement for G3. This is my major concern about using G3 and not the new MV. Have the changed their formula to make it compatible with T-IV now and G3 wasn't?
