2016 ATF Flush (1 Viewer)

[Jdt30]

I've read the threads on the ATF flush, and I have followed the Toyota tech procedures for the 2016 refill of the ATF. The problem is I had the my plastic tubing blow off the return line, and I lost I'm guessing a liter to 2 liters of fluid. I did my best eyeball method of puddle to liter estimate and refilled the transmission pan. I've run all the procedures for checking the level of the fluid. I've let it get up to temp, cool, and the run it up to temp again to check the level. It checks good.

My question is--Is there anything else I could be missing.
Thanks,

As long as you followed the level check procedure to the absolute T, you’re fine.

To confirm, Hotwire OBD2 ports, enter transmission check mode with vehicle running in park, pull overflow plug and fluid should trickle out. Once it slows to a drip, reinstall plug.

I’d always rather overfill than under when checking. If nothing came out, I would add another quart and repeat until fluid comes out the overflow plug.

You left out where I drained two quarts out on to the floor, but that the exact procedure I followed. I appreciate your help.

So is the procedure the exact same as the 6 speed units, since the 2016s are 8 speed units I m wondering if there’s any difference in the procedure..?
Im picking up one for my wife this week and will be doing the Atf flush in the Spring. Thank you.

It’s not the same as the 6 speed. There’s no need to use the paper clip to hold open the atf transmission pump. Also, make sure the plastic tubing you use on the radiator atf coolant line is extremely tight. I tried using 1/2 id line, and I’m not sure that was small enough. It’s not difficult, but it will be much easier the next time I do it in 60,000 miles. I also bought a scan gauge to read the atf temp.

Ok thank you.

Also, Something I’ve used on my other Toyota/Lexus products is a Temp gun that reads the temp of the pan. I’ve found it to only be 2-3 degrees different than the actual fluid temp.

I’ll be honest I’m not the expert on this at all, as you can see by my panicked questions above. Someone else might be able to steer you in the right direction concerning the temp gun. I also used techinfo.Toyota.com

What is the difference that the Toyota Dealer would do on this service? What makes this more thorough or is it just less expensive?

The dealer usually just drains what’s in the pain, and replaces it.

Yeah, that is not enough for me. That is too easy. I like the full flush of the torque converter etc.
