Auto trans service guide - Toyota Hilux (most4wds)

Gday and welcome to foord offroad
In this video I demonstrate how to do a automatic transmission service on a Toyota Hilux
Please keep in mind this is a sr5 with the 5 speed auto and an aftermarket trans cooler fitted
Your vehicle may take less oil, to be sure start with 4L and top up as required
This procedure is the same for most automatics but they will take a different amount of oil back in
If you are unsure what oil and how much to put in your car there is a Penrite oils app that can tell you everything
Make sure to run the vehicle through the gears and leave in neutral with the engine running before checking the oil level
Hope this video has helped someone out

Excellent tutorial, Easy explanation and thorough. Thanks for taking the time to post

[@janboydyrad9426]

Thanks man! This was great. Hope you keep pumping out videos man

[@dashingdave2665]

Nice simple run-through, champ! I bought a pump and it's still a pain in the arse because of the thin dipstick shaft. I got a small piece of tube to go in the dipstick, clamped onto a fat tube going to a big funnel - this lets the air move around, also I keep it wired to the bonnet so i can fill up like a litre at a time and have free hands while it dribbles in. Way better than the pump!

Grate vido was very helpfal thanks.

[@GHOST5663]

Excellent video.

[@danielnegash7985]

Thanks but for how long (km) it covers the new transmission fluid works

[@dazza9110]

Great video. The torque settings for the sump screw are 7 - 8 Nm

[@foordoffroad8915]

Thanks mate

[@nibalm3]

you mixed new fluid with old burnt fluid. Best is to use oem fluid and purge out 1 or 2 liter at a time thru the bottom radiator trans return line , then you add that same amount of fluid your removed thru the dipstick. until you see clean fluid coming out of the radiator transmission cooling line. just turn car on a few seconds at intervals and watch the oem pump do the job.

[@trainhardsweat1571]

Is the dip stick in the same place on a 2017 sr5 Toyota hilux..!

[@bogdan3978]

All those gold coins! Imagine the Bunnings snags you can buy with em

[@snells-window]

Excellent, thanks heaps. Never owned an auto up until now so was a bit hestitant about doing it, but it seems pretty straight forward. Every 100K you think? Subbed

[@andrewlay1472]

Thanks bro

[@karmann1799]

Is that 5.5 lt including a fitted oil cooler at front of lux? I dropped 5.5 in then had to drain some out. Cold lvl was 10mm above the hot line. Mines a 06.

[@foordoffroad8915]

5.5 is what Penrite oils say goes in it, that was right for me, I have a front cooler so possibly yours would take slightly less if you just have the standard cooler

[@thewaz6856]

Hi mate, great video on service, question tho, ive researched and come back with needing 10.6 litres of oil for the trans, how much did you put in?? Cheers Wazza

[@foordoffroad8915]

10.6 will likely be the full dry fill capacity, as in if the gearbox was being assembled I put 5.5in and I have a aftermarket cooler too

[@kyeophis]

I man I managed to cross thread 4 of my bolts on the sump, they just keep spinning when I try to tighten them, any advice ?

[@foordoffroad8915]

That sucks, you’ll have to pull them out and tap a new thread and get some new bolts, m6 Is the thread size but if they are really striped you may have to drill and tap out to a m8 thread that’s the proper way to do it or the easy way is a lot of silicone and cross your fingers that it doesn’t leak haha

[@dannyoconner9680]

What’s the auto trans like behind the 1KD? Don’t see too many around ,

[@foordoffroad8915]

It’s great for everyday use, in traffic, towing and slow controlled crawling offroad…. And the missus can drive it Only downside is it’s not sequential so in 4wd it’s difficult to make it change out of first gear if your on a hill and need to give it some

[@omerdhansay4938]

Hi , I did mine with the help of this video, thanks I am struggling with checking the oil level If it stands overnight it’s above the hot max level , And also the same with when engine is warm Any pointers would help a lot PS I did it on 3.0 D4D auto 4x4 Fortuner 2015

[@esmelinterreroe.5007]

Greetings brother, I have the same vehicle, in case I cannot get the packaging I can use silicon in that case, thanks in advance and greetings from the Dominican Republic.

[@foordoffroad8915]

Silicon will work just make sure it’s okay to use with oil and leave it to dry for the right amount of time before filling it up

[@esmelinterreroe.5007]

@@foordoffroad8915 thanks You do much

[@taimurbugti652]

Some mechanics said you should check your transmission fluid in R(Reverse)position?is this correct 🤔

[@foordoffroad8915]

No, either neutral or park with engine running Some euro cars might be different but majority of the time it’s park or neutral

[@taimurbugti652]

@@foordoffroad8915 thanks man, I have 3rd generation of toyota hilux 2.7, what's the proper procedure for this, in neutral or in park position. I really appreciate your comments. Thanks again

[@foordoffroad8915]

Either one is fine, I prefer neutral but if the handbrake doesn’t work then use park, both with the engine running

[@taimurbugti652]

@@foordoffroad8915 great. I checked my car's transmission fluid when hot engine running, it was on upper mark in the cool level, i think it must be between marks on hot levels, right?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Yeah sounds like it needs a little top up If the engine and auto are hot then it should be between the hot marks

[@SandeepRaj-pz2er]

Hii ..my Vigo is not going above 120kmhr what can be the issue it's 2kd

[@foordoffroad8915]

Best to take it to a mechanic to check on a scan tool, could be a few different things

[@SandeepRaj-pz2er]

@@foordoffroad8915 thanks for the respond .! But I am wanting to know what can be the issues before visiting any mechanic. So what's your predictions about the mentioned issue?

[@perthisok8306]

How mag litres again for auto transmission??

[@foordoffroad8915]

5.5

[@vashrusca2011]

Hi,does the 2016 model have dipstick?

[@jaybajan]

would this be the same for a 2014 n70

[@foordoffroad8915]

Yep exact same mate

[@jaybajan]

@@foordoffroad8915 i asked, because my n70 2014 kun 26r does not have the dipstick. :( I hear this model is a sealed transmission.

[@foordoffroad8915]

If that’s the case then there should be a fill plug towards the back of the box I think it’s on the drivers side

[@jaybajan]

@@foordoffroad8915 yea i spot the fill plug before, and I bought the tool to help fill it. but I was wondering how the heck do I know its completely filled? i guess when it starts to drain out the fill plug, that's an indication of the guild being filled?

[@foordoffroad8915]

Yep that’s right, fill until it comes out and then start and run through the gears, check and top up again with the car off and then go for a drive to get the box up to temp and check and top up one more time and it’ll be good

[@indianacones8410]

Hey mate what lift have you got up front ? hahahaha

[@foordoffroad8915]

2” with a 15mm strut spacer

[@indianacones8410]

Appreciate that, have you “tested” it well , have you had any issues? what brand if you don’t mind, literally ordering it as you replied hahaha thanks !

[@foordoffroad8915]

I’ve done a fair bit of hard 4x4 and only issue has been split cv boots, I have dobinson springs and shocks with a fox spacer, I’m also running a ebay diff drop and black hawk upper control arms

[@indianacones8410]

Okay fair enough, I have the uppers and lowers with fixed offset to go in, I might get a diff drop kit, but no worries I might just wing it 🤣 I’ve got pretty much an identical set up then, love ya work😜 ahaha onya mate

Fukme you can walk under that rig.
