Engine and Transmission oil Specs

[Mr Leigh]

Hi all,

Does anyone know the correct specifications for the engine and automatic transmission for a 2006, 2.4 petrol alphard.

 

Thanks

The handbook calls for an API SL, or ISLAC GF-3. These days these specifications are at API SP and ISLAC GF-6. So any good quality engine oil will do the job. Also, the viscosity needs to be considered. Here, the handbook calls for anything from an SAE 5W-20 to an SAE 10W-30, depending on ambient temperature. Personally, I use an SAE 5W-30. For the transmission the handbook is much more specific, calling of a Toyota product, Toyota Auto Fluid Type T-IV. I believe this is readily available from various outlets. I hope this helps.
