PLZ GUYS HELP ME OUT!!!!
READ THE FOLLOWING!!

I have a 97 Prado TZ.. Which I think I made a mistake of changing Transmission oil of.

need real good advice, as I am really tired of our local Mech.....

1- I was told that I should get my TRANSMISSION Oil changed. ........................ "BIG MISTAKE, I THINK"
I had no problems before with shifting of any sort or any noise.....

2- USED CALTEX ATF..... now every morning I hear a odd ticking noise till the engine or Jeep temp. goes up to normal "mid"

3- sometimes The RMP goes UP real high before 1st & 2nd gear changes. then its fine rest of time..

**** CHANGED OIL AGAIN ,LAST WEEK *****

used CALTEX ATF AGAIN, STill SAME PROBLEMS.
now it feels as the JEEP RUNNING HEAVY TOO.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

TODAY A MECH. told me that I SHOULD only use TOYOTA ATF... that will solve the problem as CALTEX is nto good
oil for TOYOTA PRADO or ANY JEEP.

IS THIS TRUE.......

PLEASE , I am really tired of local MEch. can some-1 plz help or advice me.

Bro find out what grade oil is suggested by toyota and then use that grade only. It can be any good company's oil. I would also suggest going for a fully synthetic alternative.

Peace!
