Need4Speed Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 After extensive use of the SEARCH facility, I've drawn a blank. 1. How much oil will drain from a hot Auto box. 2. Are there any hidden nasties when doing a change - you know the "oh, you have to remember to... and that needs Toyota special tool no... etc. I've read up on TypeIV oil etc, so that angle is covered. Any advice is well received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 John as far as I remember you drop about 2.5 -3L when you just do the drain via the drain plug. Type IV fluid comes in 4L cans. If you do the whole thing and pump the system then you need the whole lot as per the manual. No nasties as I recall, just remember to warm up the added fluid in the box before you do the final level check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminator Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 BTW the booksays 1.9L but I am sure I got more out than that. I knew that my fluid was at the right level so I measured what came out and put half a litre less bback in then just top up to the fhot full mark.

Need4Speed Posted September 8, 2003 Author Share Posted September 8, 2003 I read on the bbs that it comes in 4L bottles so I'll have plenty. Thanks for the assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted September 14, 2003 Author Share Posted September 14, 2003 Last question anybody - is this another car where the only way to get transmission oil in is down the dipstick pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonball Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 Sorry to interupt John Just to hijack a second I am fitting my new tranny cooler tomorrow (well I was) - anyone got a litre or so of tranny fluid around that I can 'borrow' Cheers Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 I've done two partials now.... only got ~1.5-2.0L in each time ! ! (and, YES, I do top it up to the max each time.... !!) I'm trying to do 3/4 partials in ~6months as I'm too lazy/tight to do one proper change ! ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 the problems with partials is u end up dropping good oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted September 14, 2003 Share Posted September 14, 2003 s'alright, I figure with my revvin' the nuts off it, it's fair enough to give it some fresh box oil almost as much as ENGINE oil ! ! (just need to do P'St' fluid now...bit brown ! ! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted September 15, 2003 Share Posted September 15, 2003 Originally posted by eyefi when u getting it put in? hi mate, as soon as possible. dont know who can do it. the cossie bloke that did lees skyline is busy and needs a kick up arse to get things done, he said its only a 3 or 4 hour job. and mate dunk has done his too. he had to drop box to get engine out. was thinking of a auto gearbox specilist local? would like a temp gauge at same time. dont want to dump £120 of fluid. just want it to go right. sick of going to drag strip and taking 1/10th off my times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
