Personally Matt, I wouldn't mess around with it. I will always replace my gearbox fluid with the fluid my local Toyota part dept recommend.

 

Manual Gearboxes can get screwed up by using other types.

 

But some one on this list recently recommended the Esso stuff....

V-160 / V-161 oil is their name for it.

 

Just call them up with your chassis/frame no. ready and they'll sort you out.

 

Alex, Matt is after fluid for an Auto box.
