    In asking my parts counter for 10-12 quarts of T-IV spec fluid for my A340 tranny flush, they came back with a quote for the OE Toyota T-IV at $5.50/qt, and some stuff i have not heard of before, Idemitsu Type-TLS at $4.99/qt.

    Looking around i could not find any comparisons for this fluid to other T-IV spec ATFs, but here is a link to their site.

    Have you any opinions on this fluid?
