    I am searching for the proper Toyota OEM "part number" type of ATF fluid for my 1994 2WD AT transmission.. time do do a fluid swap and want to get the original Toyota stuff.. If you go on Amazon there is like 3 different choices.. All are Toyota brand, but all appear slightly different. Please help! THANK YOU!!

    You should be able to download your original owners manual from Toyota’s website and look up the spec.

    Yes, I did, it just says Dexron II.. i know that is a generic description, and assuming the Toyota ATF fluids are different? I am just curious if anyone knew the exact fluid "part number".. THANKS for responding also!

    Dexron II is no longer made. After a bunch of research I now use Automatic Transmission Fluid High Mileage by Supertech. You can find it in wallyworld. Seems to work fine in my rig.

    147,00 and its shifting better than it did before. The Supertech is a direct replacement for type II & III. By the way from what I understand, DO NOT use WS or type IV.
