Tundra Transmission Fluid Level

[Montfort]

Have read the 'garage' How To on checking fluid level and noted the instruction to do this when ATF is at normal driving temperature of 158 - 176 degrees F. Well I'm not going to come close right now where I am until I either hook up the rig or wait until things get much warmer. Reading 122F (in the pan) when I checked ATF level today and it measured right on the top of the 'hot' mark. Do you figure I'm ok down the road when I do see considerably higher transmission temps or do I need to lose some fluid? Thanks, Dave

Your good. Your 2000 Tundra has a tranny oil cooler and the oil stays surprisingly cool. Flush with a synthetic, it's even cooler!

And you're real fast with your response Stooge. Yup, good point re the synthetic. I've got it front to back. Ciao, Dave.
