I may change the A/T fluid on my s-i-ls Corolla tomorrow and I know that both the Pennzoil Multi-Vehicle and the Castrol Import ATFs are available at PepBoys and claim to be suitable for T-IV spec'd vehicles. The Castrol High Mileage also claims to be suitable for T-IV spec'd vehicles.
Given the choice of these 3 which would you use in a 2004 Corolla?
 
I have Castrol Import ATF in '94 LS400 for more than a year, the transmission shifts very smooth almost as good as it was new. I don't have experience with Pennzoil Multi-Vehicle and Castrol High Mileage ATF.
 
I'm using the castrol as well. Smooth shifts.

Go with whichever you can get at the better price, as I'm sure both would work just as well.
 
I am currently using Castrol IMV (drain & refill only)in my wifes '01 Lexus RX, my '04 Altima and my daughters '06 Mazda 3. No issues after 1 + yrs.
 
Edit timed out!

My buddy is also using it in his wifes '07 Pilot, daughters '07 Scion tC, his '04 Camry and sons '01 CR-V all with the same succuss.

My neice is using IMV in her '05 Civic.

So, I guess we could say, "use it with confidence"!

If both carry the Toyota ATF spec Id go with which ever is cheaper. I know that Castrol's import ATF costs like $4.80 at Walmart and has Toyotas spec. I just bought 8 quarts of it yesterday to do a friends Civic.

I had forgotten about Walmart carrying Castrol Import ATF and that's what I picked up and used. Thanks for the replies...
