    I know this has been posted before, but I just need to know what the most badass tranny oil I can buy for my 2002 5VZ-FE 6cyl is? I am very low.

    Sometimes the factory stuff is the better stuff anyway.

    Agreed. Should I top off or do a change + filter? I'm at 125k and I don't think the transmission oil has been changed for the life of the truck.

    Wouldn't hurt, especially since it's an easy job (just messy).

    Refer to the recent transmission thread and you'll find your answer.
