Transmission Capacity

[Fieldsy]

Does anyone know or found out the maximum amount of transmission fluid needed for a flush. Looked on Yotatech, and they say about 15-20 US quarts which is about 14-18 litres

Assuming the dextron comes in 1 litre bottles, thats a lot of bottles,

Anyone any the wiser???

fieldsy, not sure about the amount, but go to a motor factors and buy 5 gallon if you need that much, it will work out a lot cheaper, if not buy it by the gallon

cheers Ian,

yeah, would like to know how much, so I don't run out halfway through

i would have thought that if you have a one and a half times what the gearbox holds you should be ok

an auto box only holds 2.5 litres

Think they should be correct on Yotatech, they know their stuff and the Box on the 4Runner is the same as the Auto Surf.

The Converter and lines and cooler hold quite a bit.

i dont know, ive just quoted what it says in the manual for the autobox

Depends on which auto box is fitted but my '90 2.4 has an A340H box which holds 4.5l drain & refill (4.8 US qts, 4.0 imp qts) or 10.3l for a dry fill (10.9 US qts, 9.1 imp qts). These figures from Max Ellery manual.

I guess you would need 1.5 to 2 times the dry fill qty to flush the whole system. Definitely buy the Dexron II in bulk. My local accessory shop sells a gallon for about £10 - motor factors may be cheaper.

I have myself a sweet Hilux Surf 2L-TE A/T and when I replaced the transmission fluid, and cleaned the mesh inside the A/T fluid pan.
Took me 6Liters of ATF to fill 'er up.

Good bit of searching going on there to dig that one up.

If you only used 6 litres then you only drained what was in the pan, and if you needed 6litres to top up, then there may not have been enough there in the first place, or now you have overfilled it, or a combination of both You definitely did not get all the oil out of the torque converter.
I ( and others ) drain the pan at every engine oil change and that typically gets about 4.5 litres out.

Hmmm I wonder if the OP and his auto box changing issues and ATF quantity are related?
