30k transmission drain and fill results

just a little info, I have a 2018 double cab, automatic with the 2.7 engine. I’ve never towed and I drive about 500 miles a week with minimal traffic. My Scangauge indicates that my transmission fluid peaks at about 168 degrees during my driving. Just did 2 drain and fills, used 5 qts in total of Toyota was. The used fluid was darker than I expected for sure. Ofcorse 2 drain and fills won’t completely clean up the trans fluid but it definitely lightened it up. No burnt smell and nothing alarming. I’m definitely glad I did it! Took about 1 hour. (Image 1 is the first drain, image 2 is the second drain, image 3 is just new fresh fluid)

 

Whats your current mileage?

 

yo do one more pan drain and refill and youll be golden, I did 3 on my 2.7l was clean as a cooler line flush IMO, I got 115k miles at the time of the flush drain/refill

 

looks like KoolAid in that Rubbermaid pitcher!

Is the 2.7 the same as the 3.5? No dipstick and need to fill from the upper drain plug?

 

I’m just over 28k

 

Yea! No dip

 

Ok Awsome! Good to know for sure

 

definetly 3 pans, initially I did 2 then road test was good, bought an extra quart did 3 and its awesome

 

my 2nd gen has a dipstick ,fill

 

Looks better than what came out of my Ford....

 

What 99% of the free world would expect.

 

Darker than I would have expected for less than 30k miles
