Important Information
- Always refer to the Owner's manual Supplement for specific instructions on automatic transmission fluid replacement/inspection intervals.
- The use of Genuine Toyota ATF-WS is recommended.
- The use of additives or aftermarket fluids that are considered compatible or substitutes may result in shift concerns and damage to the internal transmission components.
- ATF-WS is NOT compatible with T-IV or Dexron ATF.

- Containers storing Toyota ATF-WS should ALWAYS be sealed - If exposed to the atmosphere, ATF-WS may absorb moisture and potentially cause shift concerns if used in operation.
- One time use only.
- When performing repairs on ATF-WS equipped transaxles, it is important to use only new, clean ATF-WS when refilling the ATM.
- ATF-WS equipped ATMs may use the overflow type procedure - Any fluid drained from the overflow plug should be discarded following proper local regulations and never reused. Failure to do so could result in shift concerns and damage to the internal transmission components.

NOTE:
Issue of this Technical Service Bulletin is to ensure that proper repair information is available. IT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN AUTHORIZATION FOR REPAIR. Normal provisions of the formal warranty policy, as applicable, will apply.
