2005- Toyota Land Cruiser Prado
2005- Toyota Fortuner 4.0L
2005- Toyota Hilux 4x4 (European Version Only)
**To use a Scan Gauge to monitor you auto trans temp, use the following codes to program it:

Nice tutorial with great explanation and great video footage. High five to the camera person. I never changed the transmission fluids at the required intervals (well according to Toyota it never needs changing) and now have 104k miles on the Sequoia so I am afraid to remove and replace all the fluids because of potential problems so I am just doing the drain and fill method at this point. I removed and replaced 4-1/4 quarts which is a 1/3 of the total capacity. I will do this at regular intervals from now on.

Holy hell I can't believe how many times you turned the truck on and off doing a million extra steps. Just use a laser thermometer until it dribbles. Easy. Being over or under by a few ounces doesn't hurt anything, especially if you're running an external cooler where your temps to stay very stable. The factory often "underfills" by about 1/3 quart without problems.

@TimmyTheToolman 16 күн бұрын

Well, we're trying to show people the correct way based on what we learned from the Toyota factory service manual. Is a laser thermometer exactly accurate for this procedure? Not really, but I will say it's probably close enough. Anyway, people can choose the way they want to do it. Doing it our way following the FSM instructions is the safest way, but I agree that being a little under-filled or overfilled isn't a huge deal.

I've done this many times on various Toyotas, Hondas, and others. I used my infrared thermometer to get the fluid temp. I've found the surface temp of the pan runs about 5 degrees cooler than the fluid in the trans. I just got a new scan tool that can read all sorts of live data including trans temp. Now I get to determine the exact difference between the pan temp, and the actual fluid temp. The first time I did this I compared the pan surface temp to the temp of the fluid running out of the overflow. That's how I came up with 5 degrees. I do a drain and fill on every car in my family's fleet every spring. Full exchange on used cars with unknown histories.

Timmy, another great video! I am currently doing all maintenance on my two Toyotas (19 Tundra & 10 Sequoia) and was just about to begin the Transmission Fluid drain and fill procedure. It's been a while since I last performed this task, so I watched your video and revisited my notes from years ago. Something interesting I found is that the manual you showed in the video states the transmission temperature needs to be between 97 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit, but the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB - TC009-07) specifies the range as 115 to 133 degrees Fahrenheit. I followed the TSB value over six years ago when I last performed this procedure, but I would like to confirm the correct temperature requirement. Maybe the TSB wasn’t for the 5.7l . I plan to aim for 115 degrees Fahrenheit to align with both standards. Unfortunately, I am unable to share an image of the TSB to illustrate further. Thank you for taking my questions and for all the informative videos you provide. Clay

Could you have feed fresh oil from the other cooler hose (marked pink) via a funnel that can hold 10 quarts, with the engine running, the old fluid drains while the new fluid would be sucked in at the same rate. It would all happen quick and having the 2nd person there to shut off the engine is key.

@TimmyTheToolman 4 ай бұрын

I've heard of guys doing this but I've never tried it myself. I've never tried it because the method you described doesn't make sense to me. There is a fluid pump in the transmission creating positive pressure moving the fluid from the transmission, to the cooler and back. The fluid is being sucked in via the transmission pan, but does that suction transfer all the way to the return line on the trans cooler? Is the return line really under suction when the trans is running? I don't know and this is why I never tried the method you described. If you give it a shot, let me know how it works out.

@TimmyTheToolman 5 ай бұрын

The transmission filters in these transmissions are a fine metal strainer. Can they get clogged up some? Yes, they can. The fluid was black and could leave deposits in the filter media. For a higher mileage vehicle with an unknown service history, it's not a bad idea to drop the pan and replace the filter. My brother's truck just has a little over 100k miles. It's my educated guess the filter is still mostly unclogged.

Good try, but the fact that you warmed up the engine negates almost everything else as both the dirty & clean fluids should be at SAME temperature when draining & replacing (which is MOST LIKELY the reason that you ran our of fluid / miscalculated).. so there is that. ALSO, I am 99% sure that if you look in your factory service manual again, it will tell you to (AFTER the fluid leveling procedure) add 200ML of fluid on top of the leveled fluid prior to sealing up the trans (which you did not do).

@TimmyTheToolman 5 ай бұрын

I don't fully understand your point. The temperature of the fluid at the time of the exchange doesn't matter. The new fluid is going into the pan. The pump pulls the fluid into the valve body and is dispersed. The color before and after the flush does not lie. It was black at the beginning, and now it's pink/red in color. So, I'm going to disagree with your assessment of our method. Is our method a perfect exchange? No, it isn't. But after running 12 quarts through with our method, the fluid is dramatically cleaner than before.

@oldz70 5 ай бұрын

if it hasn't been changed as often as needed, replacing all the fluid is not a good idea, as the dirty fluid is what's keeping the clutch packs from slipping, because of the debris the causes friction. once the friction is removed, the worn out clutches will slip.

@TimmyTheToolman 5 ай бұрын

What you said is something I have subscribed to as well in the past. Another theory is that an abused transmission will have sludge deposits built up inside of it. New ATF has excellent detergent qualities. The new ATF will work on the sludge deposits, freeing them to flow through the system. These deposits can lodge in small fluid passageways inside the valve body, starving areas of the transmission of lubrication. This is the theory I have shifted to. With these two theories in my mind, I have now done fluid exchanges on two auto transmissions that were clearly abused with positive results. A decent percentage of people believe it's never a bad idea to service your transmission, but I do believe their is some potential risk like you mentioned.
