I just dropped my transmission pan, changed the filter/gasket, and changed the differential fluid (after running Seafoam Transtune for 1 1/2 days) in my '93 Lexus ES300, with Quaker State Fully Synthetic ATF. I had been using Valvoline Maxlife, but my shifts were continually getting rougher and rougher. So I read that synthetic ATF is supposed smooth your shifting. All I can say is WOW! It's never shifted that smooth since I've owned it. I do need to get 1 more quart of this stuff and add between 1/4 to 1/2 quart more to my tranny fluid. So far so good!

And yes this is Quaker State Fully Synthetic, not the Synthetic Blend. They do not have it up on their site, but it can be found in some O'reilly's Auto Parts Stores.
 
I thought that it was supposed to be released as a Q-power product. But, nothing about it on the qpower site.

Do you have the bottle PN or store SKU?
 
My bottles were released as just "Q" instead of "Q-power". However the bottle has "Quaker State" in raised letters that are not very noticeable. In addition, the bar code has text within the label that says "Power Transmission Fluid". The complete bar code number is "0 73102 04741 9"
 
I would imagine the cleaning product you used was the difference maker not the type of fluid used.
 
My Lexus has 200K, last transmission fluid change was 3,000 miles ago, and if you mean how many miles does the diff have on it, it has 200K, but if you mean when was the last time the diff fluid was changed, I'd say 60K miles ago. The fluids were brown and burnt smelling when I originally started changing them last august. I would change it every other oil change. I put the Lucas Stop Slip in there, and it seemed to smooth the shifting and make the car shift at higher RPMs. This time I ran the Seafoam Transtune in there, and with the combination of Transtune and Synthetic ATF that made a whole world of difference. Now I can't even tell when it is shifting. I will solely use synthetic ATF for the rest of my driving years after this experience, lol.
 
The differential was in the front, the drain bolt was near the transmission pan, on the back of the tranny. It was a 10mm allen bolt. I'd assume it's front wheel drive.
 
It's a FWD transmission with a separate transmission and final drive unit. Common with older Toyotas.
