transmission fluid

I'm new here. Hi. I've owned 4 Toyota's over the last 15 years and currently have 2 in my driveway. My wife's 2000 LX470 (195k miles) and my 2019 Tundra Limited (73k miles). I have vowed to never take my cars to a mechanic again. I feel competent on the basics (fluid changes/brakes/spark...

My car manual does not specify total capacity of AT transmission fluid. I want to know how many liters of oil to use when gearbox is completely empty. The manusl only indicates that about 6 liters are required for service. I appreciate your response.

So I getting close to 100K on my 2016 LC. I was planning on doing the following. Transmission fluid full replace. Coolant and water pump. New Serpentine belt. Replace front and rear shocks. Besides OEM shocks does any one have any recommendations? I did front and rear diffs, and transfer...

Bought an 03 recently. It has been well taken care of and just needed a starter, timing belt recently changed, fluids kept up, etc...Came with good records. I had driven it maybe 500 miles and suddenly notice transmission fluid dripping from the dipstick. Went to pull the dipstick and it was...

I'm a newbie. Picked up a very well maintained LX a month or so ago and have been working on a bunch of cosmetic stuff and small fixes. I have a book of service records three inches thick but I don't see where the AHC fluid or the transmission fluid has been replaced/flushed. Anyone have a...

I have owned this vehicle for 15 years transmission is working perfectly; however wondering if I should do a drain and refill of transmission fluid. I know not to flush a transmission with high mileage but Im wondering is it worth it to have someone simply drain and refill or just let sleeping...

Is anyone running Toyota WS ATF in their 94 transmissions/A442F? Apparently I'm horrible at searching through the forums for an answer, lol. Thanks, James

Getting my 40 ready for her maiden (to me) voyage, and was checking my driveline fluids when I came across this interesting sight. I guess my question is, when replacing the mustard fluid in the transmission, is it best to stick with the OEM Yellow Mustard? Has anyone had problems with honey...

I watch the Car Care Nut quite often. Here is his take on vehicle over 170K miles. My 2014 LX 570 is now over 170K miles. I don't know if the two previous owners changed the fluid if any. However, based on the Carfax sheet, the transmission fluid was checked back in 99K miles. Should I do a...

I thought it was time to check and change the transmission fluid as Ive own my '03 LX470 for 3 years. I spoke with my mechanic friend who was a Lexus mechanic who helped me track the maintenance history. It showed the prior owner declined to have the trans mission fluid changed each time it was...

Got a 2017 LX570 with 65K miles and I'm trying to find a shop to perform a transmission fluid flush, but have no luck. Located in Houston, Texas area. Two different advisers at two Lexus dealerships advised me it's "lifetime" fluid and it's a sealed transmission. Through a couple of searches I...

Stock '13 LX 570 with 135K. No problems. Runs like a Swiss clock. Brought into my mechanic for transmission drain. Bolts were corroded on the pan and they had to drill and tap, and while waiting for the bolts to replace, it sat draining for at least 24 hours. I say this only to perhaps...

Hi all, I have a '99 LC100 with almost 226k miles on it. I'm not sure when the transmission fluid was last changed so I'm planning on doing a series of diy drain and fills rather than taking it in for a flush, but I have some questions. Should I go for synthetic? The owner's manual says to use...

Have 2009 LC with 200k miles, that recently, if I have to STOP on an incline….slides backwards while in “D”, as I remove my foot off the brake and move toward the gas pedal (the normal motion). The slide backward is so aggressive (gravity on a 6k pound truck and the traction error light comes...

Hi All - we have a 2006 Toyota Sequoia Limited (4.7 V8 with 230K miles). All in all, the truck is clean, no rust, maintenance up to date and runs smooth. That said, we've noticed it began to have a shuttering vibration in low gear - I believe shifting between 1st and 2nd. Once you ease off the...

First Issue: A/T Temp Oil Light... Background...I drove in 2H on the beach & the A/T Temp sensor came on, followed by a fire where there was a slight amount of transmission fluid coming out which caught fire. I had a shop in the Seattle area drop the transmission pan, replace the filter & do a...

For the last month my 80 has been shifting a little slower, I didn't think much of it since the 80s aren't known for their fast shifting, but yesterday, I put my car in park and left the AC running while I was waiting for someone. About 10 minutes of keeping the car in park the RPMs started...

I went to check my transmission fluid level. When I undid the drain plug, too my surprise tons of oil came out. Am I safe to believe it’s been overfilled? Isn’t it just suppose to be to the edge of the fill plug without leaking out? I wonder if it was filled from the top as I’ve read that can be...

I ordered a case of WS fluid a year ago and just now got around to doing my fluid exchange, only to find out they sent me T-IV fluid. SO I have a new case of Toyota T-IV for sale if anyone can use it. Paid $118. Asking $90, Local Pickup in Plano, TX (North Dallas)

Finishing up baselining my fluids...unless I'm totally missing something, this is a sealed transmission (?), no dipstick/fill tube. In all the threads on MUD about draining/refilling, pulling the pan, flushing (or not flushing), etc., there seems to be little mention of this "feature". Is this...
