^ That's what I'd do.
I couldn't find a good T-IV or 3309 source when I needed it for our old '06 Fusion, and had good success with Castrol IMV at the time.

I would just go with the T-IV from your Toyota dealer...It comes down to this: do you trust the fluid maker to recommend what transmission to use it in?
while Castrol IMV says that it meets several specs, those specs don't include JWS-3309 or T-IV...Castrol, however, recommends it for use in transmissions with those specs...same story with Max-Life...Max-Life is recommended for applications which require T-IV.
Not saying T-IV is the best ever...but then you don't have to answer the question above...

I'm using Castrol IMV in a Toyota designed transmission solely on the fact that the dealer gets $8 a quart for T-IV.
I shouldnt expect any problems?
