    Can I use this for my 2008 Tacoma? Couldn’t find dex ll or lll but this says Toyota on it. Anyone ever tried it?

    Do you have a leak? If not just use the Valvoline Maxlife ATF, flush all the old out.

    I use this too. I'm not sure what the 'stop leak' additive is in the OP's picture

    It's very easy to flush, remove the top hose from the reservoir place in an empty container, with the wheels of the ground, engine off, have a helper turn the steering wheel and the old stuff will pump out while you pour in new fluid.

    I'm no ATF expert, but I believe the more recent Dex* fluids are backward compatible. Here's pic of back of bottle I posted above20200323_212250.jpg
