The guy in Wangara you mentioned 10 luxx, was very forthcoming to book me in, until I asked what type of oil he puts in it and mentioned that it needs to be WS oil not the type IV oil (which is what covs thought was needed but infact is not) ... contact has gone dead since then despite numerous attempts. Do you know what oil he put in yours???
Anyway my local guy (i trust) is trying to find out more info ... but seems to be an odd one and he said "just can't find any info on these even from toyota, its very weird"

The Type4 oil goes into the 4 speed auto's in the diesels.
The WS (World Standard) oil goes into the V6's auto 5 speed. The 5 speed auto is a sealed unit you need to replace the fluid at dealership. I beleive they pump it in and out at the same time through the dipstick or something like that.
The 4 speed in the diesels you can easily drain and replace the fluid yourself, even change the auto trans filter (valve body strainer).
