Cheers mate, it is a bit weird about the intervals but obviously they do it for a reason 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ I used this pump to transfer diesel out of my long range tank once so it was never fit for water again, ha ha...

Hi Marc, i did the auto service around 3 months ago and did a full flush, we had a couple of pan bolts that were suspect (one was sheared another cracked) and I replaced all with stainless with longer ones at back for draining the pan next time. We also had sealing issues and had to drop the pan and clean everything up and use Red RTV silicone and this was the only way to seal transmission pan. Great video. The pan still holds around 1.5 litres once all oil is drained so worthwhile dropping pan to clean magnets and pan itself and replace filter which is recommended every 80,000kms. pump is the only way to do this and two people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video Marc. Don’t risk burning your hand close to that hot exhaust DPF with this “bring up to temp” story. Dealer apprentices don’t because Toyota does the maths: Mineral oil has a coefficient of thermal expansion 0.00064 volume per 1deg C. If garage is at 20 deg and you warm trans to 44 deg, that is 24 deg change so oil volume expands 0.0154 which is 1.54%, that’s nothing. Just warm up the new oil first, pump into a warm trans and you're good.

The cold hard reallity of "sealed for life" is that there is a cost calculated into servicing vehicles and hydrocarbon waste levy apon import, 2 things, there is a lower tariff applied and "Advertised" maintenance costs are lower, you roll your own dice and take the outcome to whatever blows your hair back, not saying no 200 cannot survive but unless you just suing for an urban taxi it's unlikely

absolutely agree, but as a mechanic this really is a hard pill to swallow as everything degrades with time and use.... but as you say most people don't use these cars to their limits :)

We don't travel full time but are towing most of the time. Probably overkill but I do mine about every 15 months to keep it fresh. Even that often there is some colour change and also use a torque converter lock up.

@ the 10:44 mark, I think you are shifting thru the gear positions far too quickly for the gearbox to actually engage the torque converter, and solenoids. Great footwork though! I found that Toyota WS genuine fluid is not expensive at all from Toyota dealers so I use that instead of Nulon which seems to be compatible with too many other vehicle standards to be credible.

@DucruznOZ

Cheers for the footwork complement, u r probably right about the speed of the shift but at least the pump is still pumping the fluid through the box... I was closer to a supercheap than a Toyota dealer so that option was the best for me ;) good to know about the Toyota WS oil for next time 😎🍻

Found that out the hard way. I had already drained the pan b4 realizing the only 24mm socket I had was too long to access the drain plug. You need a stubby to fit in between the plug and the floor pan. And do use a 6-point: the fill plug (stamped 'WS') is shallow, roundy, possibly a smidge undersized, made of a soft metal, and so located you can't put a box-end wrench on it. After trying a number of hacks (pipe wrench on socket, etc), I eventually took an angle grinder to stubbify a 24mm impact socket & used the thin-headed torque wrench as a breaker bar. Many Toyota forums claim a 15/16th SAE socket is a better fit for the fill plug, even tho it is nominal 24mm.

Don't do it. You never need to change transmission filter unless there is contaminated fluid with dirt or water in the transmission fluid. Transmission is the most expensive part of your vehicle. Only do a drain and fill... Not a flush! each 50k miles. In case of a transmission flush required the transmission electronic control module needs to be reset and there is a 2 week transmission learning period where you need to take the vehicle for a transmission electronic service 2 weeks after the flush. They do a level check and complete the transmission learning cycle... I love the video tho. No offense
