Toyota ATF WS oil is fully synthetic?

I don't know. The manual says to use it and a lot of the prius chat members say use it. I've used it once at 90k and I'm about to at 120k in few weeks.

All synthetic oil is better than conventional oils and all synthetic oils can be mixed with conventional oils and vice versa. Don't let anyone tell you different. I ran synthetic in my lawn mower from day one.

It is NOT the same oil. Personally, I would not "upgrade" to another ATF unless Toyota (the company, not just a dealer) confirmed compatibility. Hey, if the company could assure us that a newer, more expensive, fluid would work, they certainly would tell us, right?

I'd check your owners manual but generally GM specifies 10-30 weight oil. Depending on your mileage the move to synthetic can improve gas mileage slightly and assist the engine in running a bit cooler as less friction. If your engine has any leaks it may exacerbate them. Once you switch to synthetic you should stick with it.

WS is the newer ATF between the two. They have different viscosities and compounds. They are not interchangeable. Use whichever your transmission's guide states.

Follow Toyota advice in your Owners Manual I believe it says "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 transmission fluid other than "Toyota Genuine ATF Type T−IV" may cause deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your trans- mission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately damage the automatic trans- mission of your vehicle."

This is a synthetic oil...... It's a perfect blend for my weed trimmer and my leaf blower. I would recommend this to anyone.

This is a mineral oil based fluid-not synthetic. Ensure the owner's manual specifically asks for mineral transmission fluid.

I don't believe so. I didn't purchase mine on Amazon hoever it came in a sealed IR box with a small air filter and bottle of oil. As others have said, when it's time to change the oil, I too strongly recommend IR brand synthetic.

As I have read from the manufacturer/distributor it is not synthetic. But in this world, "let the buyer beware". If you are concerned contact the manufacturer/distributor directly.

Have used my unit for over 10 years, with 100 % synthetics, Amsoil, Mobil, Valvoline, Penzoil, Castrol, Harley, and more that I can't think of. Why in the world would anyone think that synthetic or dino oil would be any different!!! Rich-Synthetic user since 1983.

Go to the lawn mower section of home depot or similar and they'll have pump oil. Synthetic is ok.

Per the manual: All oil should meet minimum American Petroleum Institute Service Class SJ, SL, or better. Use no special additives. Select the oil's viscosity grade according to expected operation temperature: Above 40F, use SAE 30; Below 40F and down to 10F, use 10W-30; Below 10F, use synthetic 5W-30

No problem. Standard 5w-30 (no mix) is all it takes. I got mine at WalMart. They also sell synthetic 5w-30. I changed the oil after the first 5 hours. Went with synthetic.

It's good for the specified motor oils in your owners manual, synthetic would be the more desirable of motor oils to use.
