What type Automatictic Transmission Fluid Does Toyota recomend for this Vehicle
What is your question?
Sears put in max valvoline and when i called valvoline in oswego N.y. they told me the oil which was put in should have been type IV(4) or ask the mechanic to put an additive at least 2 pints,this is really frustrating,I thought there was something wrong when the ATF was pale and smelled like oil instead of transmission fluid so is it what type of dexron which I think was used before? please advise!

dexron IV at a minimum. he can add the additive to make the existing fluid compatable. most of the difference in the fluids has to do with clutch adhesion. it will not hurt the trans with a short period of time but get the additive in there asap.
