Hello guys,
I just discovered that my 2003 Toyota Highlander is automatic gear is misbehaving. It jerks (noticeable shaking) while shifting gear sometimes, but no always, and also delays both drive and reverse. The oil has been changed and the strainer cleaned,yet the fault is still noticeable.
Is there anyone in the house that could help me with good explanation.

What oil was used ?

Oando dextron IV]

[quote author=salvation77177 post=116904109][/quote] not to sound with bias you will do well to stay away from transmission oils branded with Nigerian companies. I stand to be corrected on this. There are some shops that sell genuine service fluids / oils imported from the US one of them is mypart Nigeria

you killed your car. You should have used Toyota T-IV for the servicing.

It was bought from Oada filling station. Other cars owners are also buying from Oando too. The problem might not be oil but something else. I will take the car to a automatic transmission mechanic tomorrow. I just got to know one.

Thank you all for your kind contributions to above subject matter. I met with an automatic transmission mechanic today and the problem had been sorted out. The gear is okay now as the problem before now was due to the previous transmission oil used. It wasn't changed when due for oil change. He also confirmed original oil bought from Oando filling station is good if one could not afford original Toyota transmission oil.
