bject: [MBZ] Transmission Fluid Q
Future SIL’s third gen 4runner is leaking transmission fluid out of the back of
the transmission were an electrical connection is. The fix is like a $.65
O-ring. Of course to do it you have to drain the transmission fluid out.
Of course my reaction is drain the
Good call, Grant.
Even if you have to buy a new drain pain, it’s likely much cheaper than buying
a couple quarts of ATF.
I have a drain pain I keep spotlessly clean for such things. When I’m done
using it I clean it out and store it inside a cabinet inverted so no dust or
crud gets into it.

How about just capture the fluid that comes out is a clean container [very
clean] and seal it up while you are doing the repair, then put it back in
the trans?
It was working before, why not put it back in, just do a clean job of
saving it.

To be honest, it’s all hydraulic fluid. Unless the thing is getting thrashed or
abused I can’t see it making a big difference if you mix stuff, as long as it
has the correct rating.

Understand T-III. It just makes me nervous not knowing if the PO has the
correct stuff in here.

I plan on using what they say. I just didn’t know if it made a difference
mixing synthetic with non-synthetic.

Looks like a 3rd gen uses T-III but T-IV is backward compatible. I think
Castrol Import ATF meets these standards but you would have to check.

Depending on the year and transmission you’ve got to have either “WS” or “T-IV”
rated fluid. Neither are FLAPS sort of fluids to the best of my knowledge.
There are aftermarket versions with these ratings but you have to determine
what you’ve got first.
