Scion TC manual transmission gear oil change

[@WeiFischer]

I just changed mine the first time after 155,000 miles. I put my TC up on stands. The filler bolt was easy but the drain plug couldn't be done the way he did it. I used a crescent since it was shorter than my 24 mm wrench. One hint: I used my jack to loosen these bolts (as I do with some other bolts as well) by putting the wrench on the bolt and then jacking on the other side of the wrench. Another hint: you can fill from the top of the engine if you buy the clear plastic tube.

[@1malikalik]

Great ingenious trick. I like the concept of using a jack to apply torque especially on tight spaces where leverage is minimal. The filler tube coupled to a funnel filled from the top is much easier and inexpensive for us DIY Tree shade mechanics with no lifts and pumps. Thanks for the ingenious tips bro.

Can you just squeeze the bottle into the open hole like he explained??

This was super helpful, this guy explained it well and clear, quality video and audio to help compliment the clear voiced instructions, we need more of this for other cars, thank you

[@shadf7902]

Great video my man, and your voice and accent makes it even better.

[@JohnnyFTD]

That drain plug looked aftermarket,maybe even the refill plug too. The owner should get a magnet version for drain plug. That Scion looks like a fun joy ride.

[@jayhockley8841]

I have a 2005 ( auto ) and a 2007 ( manual ) tc . Those are the factory fill and drain plugs on the manual trans .

[@Pedroisanickname]

That 2 minutes you mentioned the type of gear oil to be used. Thank you

[@SixxgunJohnny]

Very cool I like your style of communication. I have a 2005 Scion TC that I have put a lot of time and money into to get it to the point where it looks great the only thing missing is a good mechanic like you

[@drivewaymarvels311]

Thank you for being so thorough and mentioning important details.

[@mikelane3611]

Thank you for using lights and a tripod to video this! Note to other DIY posters: watch and learn!

[@chrisbaskett808]

I just bought an 03 Lexus ES 300 and did 3 drain and fills on the automatic transmission. I knew Peter would be proud of me. Genuine Toyota type IV fluid was used.

[@stuartsharp7039]

When I refill a gearbox I lower the car and gravity fill using a piece of garden hose with a funnel jammed in the end. Works well if you don't have squeeze bottles or a pump. 🙂

[@JoseManuelCastillodamboo]

Exactly

[@gvi341984]

Would it be possible to include the mileage of said cars? Surprised owner wanted gear oil change

[@paulrevere9071]

I heard from a Toyota Master Technician that you should never use GL-5, it will tear up the synchros. I was advised only GL-4.

[@dakota47v8]

You are right only GL-4... ( 70w x 75w ) Only...!!!!!! Redline makes it

[@jeffreycaban5107]

Correct. I as well as many Scion/Toyota owners use Redline LV 50604 for Quarts or 50605 for the Gallon size.

[@enlightenCA]

Thank you for providing such valuable information with your videos, my car thanks you as well, hopefully thanks to your videos I will get many many more hassle free miles from my car.

[@mscir]

You heard hissing, does that mean the breather tube is blocked? I thought internal pressure could blow a seal so they installed a breather.

Thanks man. Getting ready to do this to mine.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Peter, Your subscribers usually 'pay' you with free advice or sharp criticism but this one actually paid you in money ;-) I hope everyone is taking very good care of their car/truck with manual transmissions because when it is time to replace it there may not be another one on the dealer lot.

Do you have any recommendations on which kind of transmission fluid to use for a 2017 Yaris iA manual transmission?The owners manual seems to suggest two different fluids.

[@sammerkun95]

I had 2002 camry 2.4 5 speed gear oil change, shop says it may have been original fluid and clutch 192k 3rd gear started grinding

[@DogRedful]

Can't get a socket on the 24 mm drain plug to torque it? My inner toolaholic says that's the perfect rationalization to buy a set of flare nut crows feet!

[@kramnull8962]

15/16 socket or boxed in wrench goes right on it.

[@ElectoneGuy]

One of the things I have learned about oils is that you WANT them to turn dark. They are cleaning and doing their job when they darken. Pulling the dipstick and seeing dark oil is not a problem - it would be more concerning if the oil didn't darken.

[@joequillun7790]

Sure. If you use Ams-oil, then you won't have "any" wear at all, and the fluid will stay clean. If you use petroleum, then everything wears out, and is collected in the oil.

[@kramnull8962]

@@joequillun7790 Yeah then we would have engines with trillions of miles.... Not in this lifetime bud...

[@joequillun7790]

@@kramnull8962 Not in this lifetime is correct. As the liberal left slowly eats away at our society, petroleum engines are trying to be weaned out. Thinking electric is "so" much better for the environment. I'm hoping the oil industry still has enuff ooomph to fight it off, at least in my lifetime, (which isn't too much longer...hopefully)

[@kramnull8962]

@@joequillun7790 Well I agree with your statement there. I was only disagreeing with your Amsoil statement. Amsoil cannot overcome the lack of good engineering bred into every engine known to man. There are engine designs better than others, but none are without wear, that oil just can hinder from being killed by itself. There's many less 300,000 mile engines than people on YT would lead you to believe. Even then most of those that do have 300,000 miles on, we wouldn't be caught dead in anyways.

[@joequillun7790]

@@kramnull8962 Amsoil is the original synthetic oil, and all others (pretend-to-be synthetics) are petroleum based take-offs. In the 70s I had the honor to be friends with an automotive genius/skeptic who had the opportunity to prove the effectiveness of Amsoil, by tearing apart an Olds 455 stationwagon motor with over 100K, and was broken in with petroleum, and religiously maintained with strictly Amsoil. He contended he wasted a gasket kit by disassembling the eng., to freshen it up, for his 442. There was very minimal wear, and stated even the cylinder walls still had traces of the original crosshatching form the factory honing. So I believe all the the positive publicity promoted by the manufacturer to be valid. Could an eng. run a million miles on it? I'll bet some light duty pick-up truck diesel engs. could exceed that. I just wish I owned a car deserving the price of the product.

[@Иванпонимаете-г4ш]

Just bought an 08 manual transmission sion tc , I don’t know if the gear oil has ever been changed, is it risky to change it if it has 200,000 miles or is it less risky on a manual compared to automatic

Why did you use 75wx90 GL-5 when Toyota/Scion says you must use GL-4 .... Redline makes it in full synthetic 70wx75 GL-4 this is the duplicate of what Toyota said you need???

You have a 6 speed. Better look up other posts on the subject. Especially the capacity and type of fluid.

[@_andres_flash2521]

does anyone know where the transmission fluid dip stick is for the manual??

[@jayhockley8841]

Most Manual transmissions don't have a dipstick , like an automatic . The only way to check the level is to remove the fill plug , with the vehicle level , and check to see if its up to the fill hole .

[@559mafiaboi]

Is the the only way to fill it up

[@sumdooky]

Would you be able to go into gear with low or no transmission fluid ?

[@kramnull8962]

Yes. Most of the time if you cannot get it in gear, you have synchronizer problems or clutch issues. Low oil in a manual transmission will most likely only have gear whine in 1st and 2nd gear. Those spin the fastest, so when dry they will sound off loudly.

[@josephcazzuto7198]

My 06 TC has a tranny leak and when the fluid gets low it gets really hard to shift out of first and shifting into 3rd. Once I fill it it shifts smoother. I do think my scynchros are worn and whatnot because the shifting isn't as smooth as it should be.

How to reset the TPMS on my 2011 toyota 4runner thanks

[@hellraizer44]

1. make sure all tires have correct tire pressure (including spare if you have one) 2. depending on model press and hold down TPMS button until light disappears if there is no button light will disappear after a minute or so (vehicle should be idling or running) 3. If light still stays on then you have a problem with either your tires or sensor.

[@gvi341984]

Without starting your car, put your key in the ignition and switch to the “On” position. Then, press and hold the tire pressure reset button, which is usually found underneath the steering wheel. Once the tire pressure light flashes three times, start your vehicle. It should take the sensor about 20 minutes to reset
