Atf ws or atf t4 which is better

cell phone , ?
join a real Toyota forum and get advice.?
there are no facts on what is better, on any oil.
there are no independent tests. (besides API ,etc)
google"bob the oil guy" and read a month and learn , there is no answers. for sure, religion on names, and opinions... none of which matter.
Why not ask Toyota, you do know that some opted transmissions need special ATF, right, ?
and can vary by country, you do know that USA cars run different lube than say EU? Europe?
this forum is www , the world wide web.
4speed auto
or CVT?


if not CVT
then T4?
so says this post (google works try it)

http://www.toyotalexusforum.com/toyota-camry-club/5595-toyota-type-t4-dexron-iii-transmission-fluid-issue.html

if CVT
ask Toyota personally, do not mix fluids or guess.

How to change differential oil in an 89 toyota corolla FX-25, 5 door hatchback

Hi Mathew, The 89 Corolla usually has front wheel drive and a combined gearbox and differential. If the box is a manual it uses a 65 w 70 HP oil. If it is automatic it uses ATF in the gearbox which is usually also combined, but some have separate diffs and use the 65 w 70 in the diff section. Regards John
