mistakenly drained tranny fluid

Hi,
It's was a beautiful day today and my oil needed to be changed so off I went and mistakenly opened the plug for the transmission and drained some fluid. I drained no more than half a quart before I screwed the plug back in. Is a half quart no big deal or am I going to have to take it to the dealer and have it added back??

 

Add it back

 

Definitely put the oil back in.

 

Repeat your mistake in reverse

 

Time for a trans flush any way, tacomas run like 11 or 12 qts so 1/2 qt is no big deal, but don't push it. bring it in for a flush. If you off road or tow upgrade to synthetic fluid....

I now run amsoil and I added a larger trans cooler....

 

It was not a mistake!
It was your subconscious telling you to check the trans fluid.

 

I did that on my wifes car-just put in new fluid to the correct level.
If it is burnt or bad-change it. NEVER had any difficulty due to the error--had the car ten years after-no issues.

 

Pour it in the coolant overflow container. It's the same color, and it's been done before with great success.

 

I was hoping someone would bring this up. Classic: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/2nd-gen-tacomas/33318-halp.html
