Strangely, I can't find a definitive answer on Internet or handbook.. I had a 2007 3.0 4x4 auto Vigo...Same, same.. The handbook says only use Toyota ATF Type T-IV, and considering keeping a 16 year old auto trans sweet, I would let Toyota do it, I did... The handbook capacity says... Fluid capacity (drain and refill) L (qt., Imp. qt. ) Up to 2.0 (2.1, 1.8.) So around 2 lires, as you can never get it all out.. Don't forget the front axle oil, I used Mobil for that, which improved disengaging the 4x4 thingy.. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a 4 x 4 for the black tops or is it ever used? I see many 4 x 4 and suspect 90% or more are never off black top. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure where you drive, but I see them all the time on concrete roads, so not just on black top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowtail Posted March 1 Share Posted March 1 If I bought an older vehicle with an automatic transmission and no service records, I would then take it to B-Quik (or some-such) while the oil is very hot and have them do the "re-refine" filtering/flushing process. Then, after driving it for over a thousand km I would take it back to B-Quik (or some-such) and have them drop the pan, replace the strainer and change it to the correct, factory specified fluid. Then after driving it another ten thousand km I would take it back to B-Quik (or some-such) and have them change it with the correct fluid again.
