Transmission check fluid

How do I add/ck transmission fluid on 6 spd auto teans.
2020 4 cyl engine?

Hint I can drive in S mode and reduce transmission changing but mpg reduced due to increase tork

 

Search function, stickies.

 

This is not true. Check the stickies and search for transmission fluid check. 2020 or 2022 and on doesn’t need to short the pins in the connector.

 

No dipstick …wasn’t aware there is a complicated way of checking it .

 

It's not that complicated and why post if you don't know the answer. no need to confuse people.

 

No need for a dipstick. In extremely rare cases, many years ago, SOME trucks came off the assembly line underfilled. Unless you find a puddle of transmission fluid under your truck it is full.

It is normal for the transmission to change gears often. Especially with a lower powered engine, it needs lower gears to make up for the lack of engine power. Driving in S mode just keeps it in lower gears longer and will not allow it to shift to 6th gear. No different than staying in lower gears longer with a manual and staying out of OD.

You have to choose between power or economy.

 

There have been many posts about 3rd gens coming slightly low from the factory.

 

The few posts or many you may find on here pale in comparison to how many are sold each year. If every Tacoma that was slightly low from the factory grenaded it would be on the news.

And before someone calls bullshit on that statement saying my transmission was a 8 ozs low, transmission dipsticks have a low and a full mark as well. So it’s not as precise as most people think.

 

Never told you to check the dipstick… stickies… ie sticky threads at the top of the forums. The answer is there or if you search what I indicated. Do a little work yourself… then ask if you don’t understand.

 

Complete BS

what?

 

did you ck the owners manual?

 

This just skip the jump wire step

 

thanks …..forgot that was a 2018 model video

 

Yep same as what I said.did you find it yet or just waiting for someone to do it for you? Someone already gave you the link. Do you understand how to do it?

 

I call bulls*%t. Transmissions now are different from not that many years ago and fill levels are more important now than before. It isn't as critical to be within a couple ounces like some on here are so anal about. As far as how many of them come low from the factory we can never know. Only people like us on here do the work ourselves. 99% of Taco owners don't know jack about their trucks so we will never know if they have trannys low on fluid.I know when I did a full fluid exchange I found mine to be almost a quart low and having the proper amount in made a difference.

 

My truck doesn't have a transmission.

 

You have the Flintstone-Rubble drive?
