That makes sense. Based on the color being so dark, I want to get it back in sooner rather than later for the next round. I will wait at least a couple thousand miles so it mixes well and then get it back in.

how do you even change the filter ??? You’d have to remove all the surrounding 10mm bolts on that black tranny pan?
also, not too bad on the 4 quarts. I go and pick up directly from Toyota (buy online and picking up at parts is cheaper than going directly to their parts section) for $7.91 pretax per quart.

I am about to the change the strainer too. I got OEM one and an OEM gasket kit from Ebay. It seems that on AWD, the exhaust needs to be removed to get access to some of pan bolts and properly torque then after re-assembly. I am planning on using stainless steel bolts and nuts as replacement.
