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..

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.

Ridiculous to have 4 x4 in Thailand all the extra weight and gears and not use it much , I have a Rocco and Fortuner

What extra gears............🤭

Not sure where you drive, but I see them all the time on concrete roads, so not just on black top. 

 

 

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.
