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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
@@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?
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
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
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.
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
@@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.
Miguel Cuevas tiene que chequear los solenoids si tiene. Yo Tendrá que buscar. Pero por mientras este seguro que tenga el liquido bien. Yo busco y le aviso si tienen problemas
I know im sorry i had this video editor from my phone and it messed it up. I was going to take the video down but some ppl that know look for the quick small details while people who want a full detailed video with info this video isnt for them. Again sorry for the bad quality.
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
