Trans Fluid Mis Hap
Posted: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 2:40 +0000
Hey Guys,
Ive had a bit of a mis hap with my TRD.
Lastnight, I decided to throw out the old engine oil after a long trip and replace it with some fresh oil.
Well, I got underneath and got distracted and loosened the bolt for the transmission fluid sump. My old diesel hilux had the engine oil sump in the exact same spot so I didnt really look properly until it was to late. Now I only let out about 300mL, so I want to refil it back to how its meant to be. I cant see any dipsticks or anywhere to check trans fluid, and today I called toyota and they reckon I have to take it in as they have to connect it to there computer to fill up???
Is this correct or can I do it my self at home?
Thanks for the help!
