How to ChangeTransmission Fluid of 14, 15 ,16 Toyota Highlander, Sienna, 4 Runner, Tacoma

[@Eramirez209]

You should leave the engine running while checking for the correct fluid level. This is what is recommended from most mechanics and there is a good video from the "car care nut" channel about changing the fluid on sealed transmission. Overall good job. Thanks for sharing. Edit: I seen you caught your mistake. 😅

[@castercyrus9076]

Can you do a video and show where the OBD connects..Thank you..

[@condor5635]

It’s right under the dash on the driver side right below the hood release.

How are you seeing the temperatures on the computer??

Bought the cable from Amazon which comes with the software

@@joehowto I would really appreciate the link for it please I have to change my transmission fluid in next 2k miles

@@victorbrown5593 Sorry I don't have the link from amazon. I got the cable about 6 years ago and I am not sure if amazon still have it

[@victorbrown5593]

@@joehowto ok no worries what’s the name of it

[@joehowto]

@@victorbrown5593 I don't remember the name of the cable. There is a obd2 reader that may read transmission oil temperature such as this one: amzn.to/4b7GGtk Please read the review before buying it. Thanks

Good video. That oil came out nasty. Not sure how Toyota label these sealed for life. I did ours at 100K km, and will do it again at 160k km. I'd suggest to also replace the transmission filter as well. I did the filter and when you remove the pan there is another half litter that doesn't reach the drain hole.

[@joehowto]

I will do it again every 50k miles. Thanks

Why do i need check temp ?

[@countonme9893]

Did you use it to tow?thats pretty dark

[@joehowto]

@@countonme9893 no, it has been over 50,000 miles

[@Blackcrow350]

I have a question . What would I have to do to get to the trans fluid temp sensor. Where is it? Thank you in advance

[@joehowto]

@@Blackcrow350 you need a scanner to measure it. The sensor is inside the transmission

[@stevetracy27]

As black as the transmission fluid is I would have pulled the pan, installed new filter and drained the converter.

[@joehowto]

I drained and refill twice

[@condor5635]

I don’t know why people think this is a filter. It’s not a filter. It’s a strainer. if you change your fluid like this guy does regularly the strainer will have nothing in it. It’s the magnets that are important to clean. I remove my strainer at 100,000 and it looked brand new. No sense in spending $130 on something that’s clean. Just do this drain and fill every 30 K 40 K you’ll be fine. No need to change the strainer.

[@emmanuelocran52]

So you use only 3liters which is ok?

[@joehowto]

@@emmanuelocran52 for this car, I used 3 liters

[@mohdibrahim1350]

Engine should be running on park

[@joehowto]

@@mohdibrahim1350 yes. The transmission is on park

[@wjm3018]

U said in the video the engine was off when draining the excess fluid

[@joehowto]

@@wjm3018 sorry, the engine should be running when draining excess fluid
