What fluids are you currently using?

What fluids are you currently using?

Postby lexmex » Fri Mar 05, 2010 7:44 am

I've been curious because I'm being a guinea pig with my RX300 (it's also got a 1MZFE like the V6 Solara), but I wanted to see what everyone was using with regard to the specific fluids mentioned below, so that I might try out others in the future:

Engine Oil:
Oil Filter:
Transmission Fluid:
Power Steering Fluid:
Brake Fluid:

My current ones are:

Engine Oil: Castrol Syntec 0W30 (last time I was regularly using something different was many, many years ago with Mobil 1 0W40)
Oil Filter: K&N HP-2009 (that's larger than the OEM sized HP-1002)
Transmission Fluid: Redline D4 (was using Amsoil ATF)
Power Steering Fluid: Mobil 1 ATF (was using Valvoline Synthetic PSF many, many years ago)
Brake Fluid: Pentosin DOT4 (was using ATE SuperBlue)
