I was just told by my local Toyota dealer that I should not perform a flush and filter replacement on the transmission after 200k miles, UNLESS it's been done before at 60k intervals. Or else, I risk a seized transmission. Any truth to this?
@tanktankerson1042 36 минут бұрын
I'm not a mechanic, but that makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever? Replacing the transmission with fresh fluid allowing the valves and gears to operate better and mechanically sound is what I believe in. It's like when they say, "You don't have to change the fluid, it'll last the life of the transmission." Of course it will, then when the transmission dies from maintenance neglect, they can say, "See it lasted for the life of the transmission?" Honestly, I would call around and speak to other mechanics about this. How could flushing out debris and bad fluid cause a transmission to seize? That's what happens when you "don't" change out the fluid. Again, I'm not a mechanic but I have been working on my own cars for 5 decades now. Get a second opinion, Bud.

?... at around 15:00 mark, he says it takes a little more than 4 quarts if not taking off drain pan. But then recommends and shows 4 quarts of ATF, not 5. So guessing he meant to say a little more than 3 quarts, which would mean getting 4 quarts.

The sensor I installed is different from the factory sensor, it just makes the fan come on sooner, Some folks install a switch to turn it on and off manually, I just wanted to install this and not worry about it.

I bought a Kawasaki Vulcan Voyager 2017 used. It gets heated a lot in just 1-2 minutes. When I open the radiator and race the accelerator, it throws bubbles with boiling-point water. I am jotting down other facts as well. 1. The throttle is well good while riding 2. engine oil is good even if a person has travelled 1000 km 3. engine oil is not getting mixed with the water questions 1. does it anything to do with the engine? i mean is my engine faulty? one mechanic told me that the engine is faulty as it is creating air bubble. 2. what is the usual /normal temperature in summer time ? 3. does radiator's service, installing new gaskit solves the problems
@tanktankerson1042 2 ай бұрын
First, I am NOT a mechanic but it sounds like you could start with a complete drain and flush with the radiator coolant. I would use a fluid called "Engine Ice" since it is pretty much the best coolant out there for motorcycles and is what I will use when I drain and fill my radiator in the future. Another big one, replace your thermostat, if it is stuck in the closed position, it can cause what you are telling me. My Vmax had a similar issue and after a drain and flush plus a new thermostat, everything was back to normal. That's where I would start. I went with an Ivan tune on my Voyager, he programs the radiator cooling fan to come on earlier which helps keep the beast cool. I hope this helps.

I completed the automatic transmission oil change on my 2007 FJ Cruiser. I fallowed the instructions per the service manual which included draining the oil, removing the transmission oil pan and the filter inside. After completing that job, I cleaned the area, cleaned the oil pan and proceeded to reinstall everything back. I installed and torqued a new transmission filter, installed a new oil pan seal, installed the oil pan and torqued all the bolts per the recommended torque value. I installed the overflow bolt with new crush washer and the drain bolt with a new crush washer as well. Before I started to fill the transmission I decided to torque the drain bolt since I figured I didn’t have to use it again. The service manual calls for the transmission drain bolt to be torqued at 21 ft lbs. That damaged the bolt and in turn damaged my oil pan. I ended up buying a new oil pan, oil pan seal, drain bolt and crush washer. After additional research I came across another person that had gone thru the same problem. I also own a 4Runner and the torque values for the 4Runner were the same as the FJ Cruiser except the transmission drain bolt was torqued at 15 ft lbs and that’s what I used for the drain bolt on my FJ transmission drain bolt. In my opinion there is a typo there and that cost me.

I had looked online for torque values and used those. Thank goodness for the internet. Plus, I can't remember if the torque values were in the owners manual under the maintenance section or not.

I looked online and have purchased some of the same so I can swap it out the next time I change the fluid.
