2005 toyota corolla s transmission fluid

Dealer claims the car uses a special type iv fluid which it does but they claim it takes 14 to 16 quarts. According to the repair manual for the vehicle it only take 3.2 quarts. They also claim they have to use a special machine to clean the interior of the transmission. Is this true and does it really take 14 to 16 quarts of transmission fluid?

The cleaning is by flushing. DO NOT LET THEM FLUSH YOUR TRANNY! It will do nothing but damage the tranny.


For as fluid. the 3.2 quarts is if you dont drain the torque converter. If you drain the converter then it will take about 14 to 16 quarts.


The reason i say do not let them flush the tranny is because they force the fluid backwards through the system and that will damage it. Also if the tranny is almost on its last "leg" and you may not know it. Then all that will do is speed the process up.

What can I use in an emergency situation for regular transission fluid to add fluid to my transmission that takes special fluid on a 05 ford 500 awd limited

Ok so first your six speed in your ford is made by Aisin/Warner model tf-80sc Is what I came up with. Did you know Toyota use Aisin transmissions? This mean that the cross I found is correct it said that you can use aisin fluid pn atf-qt4 or fluid rated Toyota T-IV as an alt fluid, being that aisin is the manufacture of your trans you probably will have no issue. Also according to another post when he pulled the drain plug it drained out about three quarts from the plug! hope this was helpful.

Where can i find the oil gauge for a automatic transmisson for my 2008 FJ Cruiser

This transmission doesn't have transmission dipstick to check the oil, this is a 'sealed" transmission which uses WS (world standard) transmission fluid, toyota claims this fluid never needs servicing but most dealers recommend changing the fluid at 100,000 miles, I myself own an 07 and changed the fluid at 60,000. Changing the fluid requires some special equipment and procedure so it's best left to the toyota dealer on this one.

What type of trans fluid does the camry transmission take,2007

Your Toyota is going to use either Toyota ATF-WS or Type IV. There is no substitute for Toyota fluid that I know of even though they may claim they are compatible. Remember fluid is much cheaper than metal so only use Toyota fluid. I cannot tell you if WS can be used and it is critical that you use the correct fluid so I can only tell you that your owner's manual will tell you the correct fluid. If you have no owner's manual call your local Toyota dealer.

I would like to drain and replace the transmission fluid in my 1998 Toyota RAV4. I can't find in the manual what type of transmission fluid to use.

Please go to a Toyota dealer.
Your vehicle takes Toyota '"Type T-IV ATF", nothing else.
If you use anything other that the specified Toyota ATF, you will damage the transaxle.

Automatic transmission oil type & power steering oil type

Genuine Hyundai ATF. DO NOT use any other fluid. I say again DO NOT use any other fluid even if it claims to be compatible. Hyundai says there is no substitute. Drive to your local Hyundai dealer and purchase the fluid there and take no chances of destroying your transmission to save a few dollars.
