2001 Toyota Tundra Transmission Fluid Check

Flushing a transmission via some.

2001 toyota tundra transmission fluid check. Let the truck idle with the AC off so that the transmission fluid is heated between 115 and 130 degrees Fahrenheit. I read Toyotas owners manual and found they want type T-IV. 2001 Tundra SR5 2007 FJ Cruiser.

Shift the vehicle through all of the gears to distribute the fluid evenly. Im pretty sure the new ones are similar to the Taco which has a real convoluted process to get a light blinking and then you pull the fill plug and it should just drip out. Type T-IV is backwardly compatible and is fine but kind of expensive.

We followed up with Doug after 15000 miles on his 2000 Toyota Tundra 47 liter V8 Motor Oil Change. Remove the refill plug and leave the overflow plug out also. When fluid stops dripping out of the overflow hole replace both the refill and the overflow plugs.

Those transmissions dont like to be overunder filled as little as 500ml can cause problems. I know idemitsu is a supplier of oil for Honda unsure who Toyotas is and make quite good products. Joined Feb 19 2002 114 Posts 4 Nov 11 2003.
