Depending on the Toyota, there is a lot more to do than this. The new units from 2015 on are temperature sensitive and require vacuum pumps, fluid pump, adjustable fluid level insert that compensates for the fluid temp.
Bruce Wayne I just recorded another video on checking the horn system and How to replace the clock spring for the horn. If you see one that I have i didn't put detail on the video. So this coming up video it will be completely explained and detailed
No the video is great, I just thought it was missing that little detail. And I did some research as to what the temperature should be specifically, I found out that if the transmission is too hot it will drain too much fluid out and not give you a correct reading because ATF fluid expands as it gets hot. I think the optimum temperature is around 104°F to 113°F but you might want to double check that because I'm saying this from memory.
Bruce Wayne yea thanks. Temperature does affect the fluid. On the ones that have dip sticks for transmissions, they will have hot and cold readings depending on manufacture. Same goes for power steering fluid and all other fluids. It's always good to start up the vehicle and work whatever fluid you are checking then shut off and check the level. And if it's something like automatic transmissions with dip stick they usually say to check with engine running and in park out neutral. As long as you do these procedures or follow recommended service procedures you'll be ok. That I know it's usually how I explained. Hope it helps you and others. I will make more videos let me know if you have anything for me to show and ill make videos. I'm just gathering more info and equipment to make and edit videos better
Why, all that does is drain the fluid faster when u open drain plug no? By leaving it on u actually get a slower controlled flow of fluid out of the box, an if ur inside a shop an wana stay clean thats allgood, no?
@@triptank7857 what if you drain the fluid then go to remove the fill plug and it snaps or strips , yes you can fix and remove it but I would rather check to make sure it comes off first then drain it
Thankyou very much, people complaining, but I will say "thanks" for taking the time to upload the video. I kind of only understood 50% of whats going on, but its okay.
Hey so this only drains the fluid in the pan. There is much more in the trans/ torque converter/ cooler. Would repeating this process two or three times make sense as old fluid will mix with new fluid? Eventually becoming clean. I've had an 08 accord and 2010 terrain where transmission services are performed like that. I have a tundra now I'd like to keep up on and at 50k I'm gonna do the drain refill repeat method thanks for any insight
ronniejr1983 yes correct doing it over and over will be the best thing to do for a full flush. You will need two people to do this process. Depending on the vehicle you keep adding fluid with the car running and add till it comes out clean.
you'll never get a full flush doing it over and over...it's mathematics. Unless you do like 12 flushes....it's frustrating that Toyota refuses to do flushes..but at 50k I wouldn't be even slightly concerned I have 200k on original WS fluid
really thats all there is to it i have a 2018 rav 4 the pan holds 2 litres drain it cold and just add 2 litres your done lifes good all the other methods are just to confuse you try it you will see its that easy
Thwee Htoo hey so you first drain the fluid on the drain bolt. Then you go back and tighten it once it's finished draining. Make sure it has the washer on it. Then you remove the upper one which is where you fill it. Then also remove the other one under the pan which is the drain that lets you know it's at the full level. Keep adding fluid through the upper one till a good amount of fluid drains so you know it's topped off. Tighten the fill plug and level plug. Run it and recheck if it has a dip stick if it doesn't your good to go as long as you do these steps. Hope it helps. I will make better videos soon👍 always check how many quarts it takes and you'll feel better knowing you put around that amount.
Thwee Htoo when it drains out the one I left off, It let's you know it's at the full level that's why you leave it off and tighten it back when it drains a good amount so you know it's full. Hope It makes sense
If it doesn’t have a dipstick, get a long piece of tubing that: 1. Will fit into the tranny fill hole. 2. Will fit over the end of a funnel on the other end. Temporarily tape funnel to passenger side mirror,run tubing down then back up to the fill hole. Worked well for me.
Mike Goodman yea sorry my video editor was garbage and did it on my phone couldn't get it to work correctly. I tryed to shorten the video length and it messed with my audio. I will do a better video on this and upcoming ones. I will do less editing but will be a longer video
Mike Goodman I also did this at my work so my coworker had the radio on and he was talking to someone haha. If I don't record tho when I can I will never post a video
It is the only video showing two plugs~ drain plug and over flow plug on one Trans fluid pan on a Toyota such as Toyota Vanguard 2007. The confusion is often how to identify the drain plug from an over flow plug ? A good video but there is need for more steak for DIY skills.
That drain plug is supposed to be open when the vehicle is running to get the correct fluid level at approximately 105°F! You’re way too low on the fluid level
@@The_Touring_Jedi -----Holding the rear brake with the engine running and running from drive 1-3 and then back into park with the drain plug out you mean?
Black Shark knight it's the full level plug when I drops a good amount you tighten it up and your good to go. I doesn't hurt to recheck it after a drive

@@armobyzantine5881 I've got a 2009 Tacoma with the automatic transmission, I'm not totally positive, but I'm pretty sure it's all 2nd generation Tacomas (2004-2015, if I remember the generation years correctly). My 2009 does not have a dip stick for the transmission. Not having a dip stick for the transmission is pretty lame, but I do love my truck.
Appalling. The engine isn’t even running when you checked the level, let alone up to temp. At this point the trans is probably under filled. Follow almost any other tutorial
Hi sorry for the late reply. It's about 4 quarts or 4- 4 1/2 liters. If you recently replaced the torque converter you can be adding an extra 2quarts or 2 1/2 liters. Best to always add till the full level then run and cycle the transmission between gears. Then recheck and add if needed. Make sure to check on flat surface and to add till fill bolt drain spills a good amount by that not it dripping but spilling out then plug up and tighten. Most the time what you take out is about what goes back in. Can always add more after that if needed.
Thank you my brother and I'm sorry too ... I did not replace anything before and actually worked the same way to change the oil in the morning because the car is cool .. but my car (LC200) was only at 3 liters !! and it worked without problems

Thank you for showing where the refill plug is. Other vids I kept finding showed it at different locations. Got frustrated.
I totally agree. In this video they had enough light to see how ,what and where the refill plug was
Yeah. No fluid temperature checked. Heat expansion matters a lot. Go for Jiffy lube and change your transmission soon.
You forgot to include starting the vehicle, warming up the transmission then rechecking
Bruce Wayne true thanks. I will be making more videos. Step by step. I did this at work so felt weird recording haha.

which transmission is it? a750e? or what?
Do I have a overflow tube inside the opening where the level is checked? I was expecting one using a 6mm hex but didn't find it. (2012 4Runner SR5)
Is this 2.8 innova automatic diesel?how many liters of atf for this type of transmission?
really thats all there is to it i have a 2018 rav 4 the pan holds 2 litres drain it cold and just add 2 litres your done lifes good all the other methods are just to confuse you try it you will see its that easy
There is 2 drain nuts and u only tight one back while pumping the fluid . why ?

subie gang OC thanks you, understood
Nice Video , my car is Lexus ES350 2015 , its done 70k KM, when should I change the transmission fluid?
If I don't have a filler pump equipment like you are using, can I still fill fluid from the dipstick?
These dont have a dip stick but if you have one that does then yes fill from dip stick location just pour really slow cuz itll over flow and spill
If it doesn’t have a dipstick, get a long piece of tubing that: 1. Will fit into the tranny fill hole. 2. Will fit over the end of a funnel on the other end.
Temporarily tape funnel to passenger side mirror,run tubing down then back up to the fill hole. Worked well for me.
Know what you're doing ... but too quick, jumpy, hard to understand. Painful to watch.
Background noise? 4 cyl or 6? Think I know ... but not 100%.

Totally wrong way to change transmission fluid on tacoma. This video is a perfect example of why I did my own research and did it myself.
Any other videos you recommend?
You've only changed the fluid in the pan. For a first change at 60K miles, would that be considered "good enough"?
If you want a more complete flush either drive it a few miles and drain again or wait 3k miles and drain and fill. 2 - 3 times
With regular driving fluid change should be good enough.
What oil you used to fill transmisión ???
That drain plug is supposed to be open when the vehicle is running to get the correct fluid level at approximately 105°F! You’re way too low on the fluid level
This will be overfilled. Fluid expands when hot.
Thanks subie gang oc. look forward to next better-edited and narrated video.
Yamato Musashi thank you
That’s why you need to do it yourself don’t change the oil in the shop, very much the transportation will dead.
I filled back 4liter.Right?
wow..way too much missed to try it your way,,,,,
Doesn't it have to be at a certain temperature to check level?
40°Celsius and starting the engine and runing trough all gears would be good also so that all old oil gets out.

Great way to blow out the transmission 👇🏾

Thanks 👍
how to know if my transmission is cvt and how much need liters for atf
It’s in your owners Manuel check the maintenance section
I would ALWAYS replace the filter .
What was the plug when he was refilling open?
Black Shark knight it's the full level plug when I drops a good amount you tighten it up and your good to go. I doesn't hurt to recheck it after a drive
we did learn the 5mm thats something
This is horribly edited. Wow
Question.. which Toyota is this?
As a certified toyota mechanic this is not how you fully maintain this transmission
what else is he missing?
@Soopsoopdawoooop the temperature needs to be at a certain point or your overfilling it
Types gearbox fluid
Hi how many liters
How much leater oil 5 or 6 leater
Speed much?
What in the Sudafed did I just watch? Were y’all Methed up or what??
Mmmm y el filtro porque no se lo cambiaron
im letting toyota dealer do this job for me. if it messes up my transmission i can go back and have them fix it
Test after startingen and shfting
too much jumping around with the video... slow down and take your time

2L only
