Does anyone know where to purchase Toyota ATF WS and long-life coolant besides the dealership? Any website recommendations that sell these products for less than what the dealer charges? Thanks!
Re: Toyota genuine fluids I suspect that Toyota dealers and Toyota parts outlets are the only ones that have those items. I bought ATF-WS from the local dealer when I changed my transaxle fluid last summer. It was $7.78 a quart, I thought that was a pretty good price for synthetic transmission fluid? You should not use anything but ATF-WS in the transaxle but as far as antifreeze goes I looked at the owners manual and I think you could use any brand as long as it meets the requirements that are stated. I think Prestone, Peak, and others make antifreeze that will work fine in either Prius cooling system.
Re: Toyota genuine fluids Looks like I am just going to go to the dealer to purchase the fluids. I was hoping to find somewhere online that sold the fluids at a discounted price, but have had no luck besides ebay. The prices listed on Ebay where similar to what the dealer charges anyways. Thanks for your input
Considering the infrequency of transmission fluid changes, and the fact that is specialized fluid, why bother looking elsewhere? How much do you expect to save, after all the run-around, and maybe shipping charges? FWIW, Honda CVT fluid is $15~20CAN per US quart.
