Re: HOW-TO: Check the Automatic Transmission Fluid Level
I accidently drained about .5 quart (or less) of transmission fluid out of my 2005 DC tacoma. Rather than trying to fill it myself I took the truck to the Toyota dealer. They told me that the transmission is a closed system, and that they are not able to "top off' the transmission fluid. The only thing that they could do was to do a complete transmission flush ($200). The mechanic didn't think that loosing .5 quart would be a problem, so I left without getting the fluid filled. I was wondering if the document posted by Glenn applies to Tacoma's as well as Tundra's? I would feel much better if I could add some fluid to get the level back to normal.
