Hi all,
I bought a 2005 Highander earlier this year. It has been meticulously maintained and I noted in the extensive service records the ATF was serviced at a Toyota dealership a while back. I noted on the invoice the two part Valvoline 094 kit was used (one bottle cleaner and one bottle conditioner). According to the Valvoline site, the conditioner seems to be additives and seal conditioners. Now that it has been used in the ATF, I'm wondering if I need to continue to use that conditioner during drain and refills if the product has expanded the seals such that not using it will now cause leakage. If I do use the product, the question then becomes how much of it to use in a drain and refill since you only get a fraction of the ATF out during a drain and refill although I'm sure I could fine some specs for volume of drain and refill vs. total capacity. When it is time for the drain and refill, I intend on using Toyota Type IV per owners manual. Thanks for any input. Below is link to the product:
