Yes. On the dipstick it will indicate which fluid to use. If it states "Use Toyota TIV" or "Use Toyota T4" you can use Mobil brand fluid called ATF 3309 (the Toyota T4 fluid is made by Mobil). You can also use Valvoline or Castrol ATF fluid labeled for multi-vehicle import.

How often should you change transmission fluid 2007 Toyota corolla?
The Toyota Dealer Service Writer Steve said Toyota Corp. does not suggest a specific interval. If the oil is black and/or burnt smelling, then change it. If you simply do a drain and refill, you will need 4-6 qts of Toyota T IV transmission fluid that costs $5.28/qt at Michaels Toyota in Fresno, CA. The fluid in the torque converter will not be drained (2-4 qts more). The dealer quoted $80 to do this work. If I do it myself, it will cost me no more than $30 for the fluid. You can refill the transmission fluid via the dip stick with a funnel.
When should you change the transmission fluid on a 2004 Toyota solara?
Check your owners manual. It says:Change automatic transmission fluid only as necessary. Generally, it is necessary to changeautomatic transmission fluid only if your vehicle is driven under one of the Special Operating Conditions listed in your "Scheduled Maintenance Guide" or "Owner's Manual Supplement". When changing the automatic transmission fluid, use only "Toyota Genuine ATF Type T- IV"(ATF JWS3309 or NWS6500) to aid in assuring optimum transaxle performance.Notice: Using automatic transmissionfluid other than "Toyota Genuine ATF Type T- IV" may cause deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately damage the automatic transmission of your vehicle.
How do you change the automatic transmission fluid in a 2004 Lexus RX 330?
If its out of warranty take it to Toyota dealership and ask for a "drain and fill" Shouldn't cost much more than about 2x the price of an oil change... This drain and fill process only drains about 40% if the fluid since a large part of it remains in the torque converter. After about 3 drain and fills you have in essence replaced all the transmission fluid. I suggest transmission drain and fills be done every 30,000km at least. USE GENUINE TOYOTA TRANSMISSION FLUID type T-IV only......
Chevrolet optra automatic transmission fluid level check?
I hear that for Optra's there is no way to check the transmission fluid level, other than to actually remove the transmission fluid cover under the vehicle. Your best bet is to just replace the transmission fluid level at a certain interval (GM says 160,000km), but I would go for more often .

When do you flush brake fluid on Toyota Highlander 2004 v6?
Not an answer - an additional question. My Toyota dealer tells me my brake fluid is dirty (on my newly-acquired 2005 Corolla), and he wants to charge me $175.00 to flush my brake fluid. That strikes me as outrageous! What is involved other than draining fluid and replacing it just like changing the oil? My (non-mechanic) husband asks how the brake fluid can get dirty in the first place. It's not running through the engine like oil does . . (Also he wants $175.00 to flush the transmission . . .)

Where or how do you add transmission fluid to your 2002 Thunderbird?
You can't the transmission on the 2002 Thunderbird is sealed. There is no distick or any way to add fluid other than through the ports on the transmission under the car. The dealer has to do that. It shouldn't need fluid unless it has a leak. If it is leaking it has to be done by a mechanic that will fix the leak and then drain the entire transmission and refill it through the ports on the bottom.
