Castrol Transmax ATF dex/merc Multivehicle in Toyota

[supber_2206]

Hi everyone,
I just change (not fluid) my Toyota Vios G 2014 tranmission oil with Castrol Transmax ATF dex/merc Multivehicle. In the label, it is claimed that Castrol Transmax ATF dex/merc Multivehicle meets Toyota ATF WS. Is that oke?

I don't see where it's recommended for WS applications.


There are a slew of "Transmax" labeled products. Are you sure you looked at the correct one?

Welcome to the site. We can see you joined today and are from Viet Nam.
What year is your Toyota?
How many km on your vehicle?
How many km were on the vehicle when you changed it?
Is your vehicle shifting OK now?
Should be good as WS is mentioned in your PDS.
Next time you refresh your fluid you can try Toyota fluid and see if there is a difference.

I read topics above but i dont know if there is any differences between Castrol Transmax ATF Dex/Merc and Castrol Transmax ATF import/Castrol Transmax Full Synthetic Multivehicle So i creat a new thread

1. My car is 2014
2. 120.000 kilometers
3. I just changed it today and run for 20 kilometers
4. My car shifting ok
5. I just want to be sure. because in my country, the price in Toyota service is high. So i went to local mechanic and ask him to change for me

I'm from Vietnam

 

[kschachn]

Yep, that should be fine.

 

[supber_2206]

Tks for ur answer. Then i can be assured. I scared my tranmission can be broken by non-OEM oil. I will revert to Toyota ATF WS next time

 

[dnewton3]

Yes; looks like that would work fine given the info you shared.

Castrol says it will work and if the transmission performs as it should, I would not be concerned. I also don't think there's a compelling reason to seek out WS for next time unless problems arise.

I hope it works well. I just read another thread mentioning about using Total LV Fluid causing noise. Mine is smooth after changing, no problem till now
