Thank you for taking time taking the video. Would you mind telling us what type of drain oil pan you used?

[@coont-tracker-69]

[@wcovey25]

Use a long neck funnel with the plastic attach. fits just right. Use brake cleaner for both plug cleans, save some time. I used Amsoil CVT Synthetic. after 130,000k no problems. Will change at 150k.

[@tecno8335]

Should of used official toyota fluid for the prius.

[@cristymiranda2823]

Awesome video!! Where is the transmission fluid dipstick? I could never find it on my corolla and I'm abt to purchase a prius!!

[@HadesOmega]

There is none you check the level by removing the fill plug. If the oil is level with the hole it is the correct amount.

[@cristymiranda2823]

@@HadesOmega thank you!!

[@brittanibashor4549]

What kind of little black hose did you use and what are the detentions?

[@khakimal]

Trans change doesn’t need to open on top, it’s all on bottom .

[@huey4203]

3 years later im thinking if doing this is the car still hood

[@coreyamburgey7514]

When you pull the drain plug don't you all so have to remove the plastic tube that is inside the pan to fully drain all transmission fluid?

[@mathysgirard4036]

its not like a typical automatic transmission it acts more like a manual transmission were the gear and bearing sit in the oil

[@yassineyassine5097]

Hi does the 2004 prius hybrid has a transmission fluid dipstick? I looked everywhere i cant find it please?

[@HadesOmega]

No it does not it just has a fill plug. Once fluid starts seeping from the hole it is filled and just put the plug back in. To check the level try to get the car on level ground and take out the fill plug. If oil starts seeping out level is fine. If it doesn't stick your finger in the hole dab it downward a bit and if you finger has oil on it the level is fine. If not you should add fluid.

[@elenabaltariu8975]

Hello, What is the diameter of the hose used to insert the oil?

[@HadesOmega]

Sorry not 100% but probably 1/4" or 3/8"

[@BibleSamurai]

what device you put on that wrench to get pounds per ft?

[@HadesOmega]

It's a digital torque adapter, you can buy them from Harbor Freight Tools
