Type-IV ATF in an 02. yay or nay....?

Of course my 02 dipstick says Dex III
Will the T-IV work?
Is Toyota Type-IV semi synthetic?

 

Why use T-IV if the owners manual requires DEX? On the 02 I think they still take a DEX III? Am I right?

 

I would use MOBIL 1 full synthetic Auto fluid in a DEX III required truck Yay to that and cheaper than T-IV too.

 

Id put what the dipstick/owners manual says in it..

 

Amsoil Universal or Redline D4. Currently using Amsoil Universal.

 

X2, stick with the dexron 2/3. You don't have to buy Toyotas fluid, any brand will do, just stick with the manufacturers recommendation.
