So today i bought my 4 qts of tranny fluid from toyota.. So i drain the tranny and diff fluid which equals about 3.8 qts and then refill with 3.8 qts..

Just wanted to double check.. Thanks

Since it's clean and tricky to spot the level, check the stick both hot and cold for a couple of days. I usually have to check it a few times when the fluid is clean, trying to get the reflection right on the stick.... engine running in park, just prior and after a drive.

3.8 quarts sounds like the correct volume, removing both drain plugs ...

Just wanted to say that i completed the drain and fill on the ES today.. I had to borrow some tools from the neighbor because the differential bolt was hard to get to.. and the fluid was black as hell.. I added about 3.5 qts and will check it again tomorrow.. The fluid was up to the hot mark after the car got to running temperature..

Thanks to Tammy and a few others for the info... One step closer to selling the ES..
