^^ do you believe everything you read in the manual? If you do then explain to me why there is more than 1.6 quartz or something of fluid that came out of my drain plug? Almost 4 quarts when the manual says 1.6 or something when you are simply draining the pan. Anyways I see that this thread is worthless to you. Like said before this thread is not for discussion or whether to do it or not. Atleast now people can have an actual photo of the fill hole, drain hole and overflow hole for what it's worth.

There honestly is no need to do the transmission flush. But you ought to worry about the differential services. Just through normal use it shaves off metal from the pinions, ring, side gears within the pumpkin so you might want to change that one every 30k and that one is super easy. Especially for you AWD guys who like to go WOT on turns and eat up the center diff.

I hope you used the CORRECT fluid (WS) when you replaced it! This trans uses a low viscosity synthetic fluid that is only available from Toyota or Amsoil. If you used ANYTHING else it will damage the trans and the whole system will need to be flushed ASAP.

I'm guessing he works at one of those dealerships that likes to jack up the bill with a buncha service the manual explicitly says never to do too
and to the guy who asked, yeah, WS fluid is -extremely- low wear, that's one of the reasons it's considered lifetime fluid (and why it costs a lot more than a bottle of conventional ATF)

I quoted -directly- from the maintenance manual.
It's a -sealed- system.
You -never- service it.
it's -lifetime- fluid.
Opening it up and swapping a small portion of the fluid out not only voids the warranty on it and likely leads to contamination of the fluid, it's explicitly against what the actual people who built the thing tell you to do.
It tells you how to add fluid if you had a leak. It does NOT tell you how to change the fluid, because you're not supposed to do so and it's impossible to change even the majority of it.

^^ wow you've worked on aircraft. since when did the isx50 become a rotary engine? You guys are all on my nuts for posting something that maybe useful to some people. Just through searching you will find people who have accidentally drained the transmission fluid. Well if they did, then this DIY will help them. It's discouraging when you and your gang flame on someone who has the intent to help especially coming from a forum moderator. Is this the attitude of most CL members? I guess it's beause of these flamers why you see so little DIY with photos and stuff on this web forum. People are intimidated to post things because they fear it's unacceptable to the gang, i mean community. Like I said before, Get the **** out of my thread if you are discussing whether to do it or not.
Take ur **** here and stop flooding my thread.

Since this web forum lacks in DIYs. Would you kindly post more DIY of stuff we don't need. Like changing the cushions in the drivers seat.
