    I have a 2012 Tacoma 2wd auto trans 2.7L. It has 63k on the odo. I was thinking of changing the ATF myself. Any good videos?

    Fluid change posted to in post #2 is for a 4.0 engine truck.

    Consider yourself lucky - you have a dipstick. Drain the pan and capture what you drain. Jack up front of truck and you'll drain another 1/2 qt - 1.0 qt. Measure what you drain and refill thru the dipstick with that same amount.

    You may wish to pull pan to clean inside of pan and magnets on bottom of pan. You'll either use a gasket or sealant. You'll know what you have once underneath where you can examine the outer edge of pan.

    Owners manual has fluid type to use. If you don't have one....
