        The fill plug is on the drivers side of the vehicle. There'll be a plug on the side with "WS" written on it. That's the filler.

        Toyota WS is quite expensive. $66/4L from the dealer. The service guys couldn't tell me with confidence how much would come out when I open up the sump plug. They indicated 5-6L. Flushing can be messy. It's easier to change the fluid every 40 000km by dropping what's in the sump and refilling. The toyota mechanic I talked to said that when they need to flush a box, they drain and refill a few times. They don't remove the cooler line and pump the fuild out with the engine running. I had one "transmission specialist" tell me that the units were sealed and didn't have a cooler. There's definately two pipes from the box to the radiator.

              I Sent my Prado in for a Flush and Replacement at toyota. It cost me $220 all up. thats after 230 000km it was slurring into gears. changes are crisp now.

              as to the when it needs to be changed. if its not a lovely red and smells fine then change it. We had a Honda accord Euro and the ATF was due for replacement. It was disgusting. but with the accord you just drop the fluid and replace it. we did this twice for the best result.

                The service guy called me to say that Toyota may not be able to get the new fluid to him today to be able to complete the service but asked him why he was touching the gearbox anyway as it was "sealed for life"
                He replied that the oil was black and may cause something to fail later on.
                Who is right here, should the gearbox not be touched as Toyota state or is it recommended that the oil be changed, particularly with those sort of km's on the clock and the fact that I tow a reasonably heavy boat quite frequently.

                I have a2008 grande with 800000k and have been suss with this sealed for life BS. As I do a lot of towing I putit in for a tang sevcice only to find the same problem. Burn discoloured tranny oil. We did aFULL oil change with filters etc and fired an after market transmission cooler. I will be servicing the trans ever 50000k from now on.

                  Yeah, would be nice to get a clearer idea of where the filler hole is -- I've looked around thoroughly and all I can see is a small screw that looks like about 10mm on the driver side at the back of the area where the trans sump pan is, just above the drain plug. Next to it is a metal plate with some information stamped on it that's hard to read from below. It looks way too small to be a filler hole but I can't see anything anywhere else and it doesn't look like the illustration in the Haynes manual.

                  In the Haynes service manual on transmission fluid replacement it only say "drain fluid and replace with 2l of new fluid". Surely this can't be sufficient, given the volume of fluid in the torque converter and the sump?

                  Is it better to drain the 2l and refill then do it again shortly afterwards once its had a chance to mix the old and new so you end up with a lot fresher fluid?

                  Really seems there should be a better way to do it but have Googled for hours and can't find anything.

                  Any further insights greatly appreciated!

                    We drained and filled my 120 D4D box recently, it took 4-5 cycles to get the fluid back to red after never having this done (@90,000km). So, yes you drain (~2l) and refill the fluid until it runs the correct red colour, starting the car in between and cycling through the gears 4-5 times slowly (each time). I used around 8L for this process on my Prado 120, much nicer to drive now.

                    PS this is what people refer to as 'flushing' the box.

                        There is 2 types of flushing.
                        Yes that is the best way. Good work.

                        The other is using a machine, it pumps in and pulls out of a full trans, using more oil to get not as clean. It fast is the advantage $$$$.

                            All depends on which transmission you have. My 120 (petrol, 5 speed auto) requires Toyota WS so I used Penrite equivalent. http://www.penriteoil.com.au/product...d_products=709
                            I used 12 litres for full flush. Drain pain via drain plug then refill with approx 3 lt new fluid using a Tom Thumb pump. Then pump out 2lt from cooler and refill. Keep repeating this until the fluid pumping out is clean.
                            1997 petrol auto, 430 000km. Still going strong.
                            2004 petrol auto, 233 000km. Cracked dash and no help from Toyota!

                              sorry, should have stated its a 03 4 speed.
                              I'm just going to drain sump every ten thousand and refill I think.. Then I'll bother doing a filter change in maybe twenty thousand kilns also.

                                Yes the fs is great oil.
                                Penrite tell us it's good for the 5 speed. So many of us in the trade have used it in both 4&5 speed for years.
                                The lv came out about a year or 2 ago for the 5 speed, I have used it.
                                I think the fs is smoother.
                                Thicker oil protects trans better, so another reason I like the fs. Lv is same quality, just lower vis = lv.
                                Fs is more available & cheaper too.
