You should move the shifter faster. There’s no need to wait for the trans to engage drive and neutral over and over. Do it faster and it will just stay in gear.

Doesn't work on the 2016

I won’t be changing my trans fluid ever

So if NOTHING came out of the overfill at proper temp- that means I did not put enough transmission fluid in after I drained it? So I should let it cool down and add another half quart and repeat the process here?

Wow thxs so much for the video , u da man this helped out HUGE !

But will this method work with a manual transmission?🤔

Like all the other fluid check tutorials this one skips steps: Like it doesn't tell you if you need to pin the transmission thermostat open to get the proper reading? So FUSTRATING!

THANK YOU!!!!! This worked on my 2020 4Runner! It does not have OBDII connector pin layout like old one. Thank you thank you 🙏

Worked on my 2022 Sr5. The hoops they make us jump through to take care of our vehicles. And thanks. I really needed this video

Works this way on 2020-2023 tacoma

This definitely works on my 2020 sport 4x4, do I still need to pin the transmission thermostat open to get the proper reading?

How beneficial have the small lights on the front been? Need some extra lighting on my T100 so I'm considering different options. Thanks!

I’ve never changed your oil in my Toyota automatic transmission. I just sell them at 300,000 let somebody else do it.

Beautiful truck !!

Barry Oakley 😎🤟

Freaked when I saw my port was different. Thank you so much for this video!! Plenty of time to drain excess.

Does this work on a '19?

Does the truck have to be warm to do it? Why will it not work?

This works on 21 trd sport as well

Appreciate the vid! Very helpful. I did check mine when it was blinking…it wasn’t too hot so hopefully that was ok!!

These are fabulous trucks. I got my Dad's '96 Xtra-cab 3.4 2x2 automatic 20 years ago. Now 128k miles. I don't drive it much, but won't sell it until I can't drive anymore. I have two newer cars with 6-speed manual transmissions, so the automatic in the truck is just fine. Yours looks nice.

Thanks much! Works for my 2021 Tacoma sr5 v6 4x4 ! I was looking all over TH-cam because mines don’t have #13 for jumper cable lol 🙏🏽

Will that word on a 2019 2 wd?

Just tested this with my Scangauge 2 on 2021 Taco. Solid "D" at 96 °F, stay solid for 7 minutes and at 114 °F the "D" starts flashing.

Did a trannny fluid change on a 2021 Taco yesterday. Drain first, then dropped the pan, replaced only the gasket. Left the filter alone, had one available. All temps monitoring done by a Scangauge 2 which works perfectly.

Works for 2023 sr5

what is the price friend

luv ur video bro…in other way can I use infrared thermometer too

This worked for my 2020 tacoma! Thank you.

I’m a little confused on what I’m looking for if I don’t know if I’m low or at the correct level. I just bought a used TRD off road and want to make sure the trans fluid is correct. Do I do this test first before adding fluid and what am I looking for if so?

I've noticed that on your Tacoma, as well as on Camrys with 6 and 8 speed transmissions, that when the correct fluid level checking temperature is reached (typically around 95-103 degrees F) after starting the engine in the morning, the coolant temp gauge will read 1/4 the way up the dial and the engine RPMS will be around 750-800 RPM. Thus a do-it-yourselfer who wants to check or adjust the fluid level merely needs start the engine in the morning then wait (or drive briefly around the block) until the coolant temp gauge rises to 1/4 the way up the dial and engine RPMS are around 750-800 RPM, to know it's the right time to unscrew the oil pan drain plug and let the excess fluid run out until it slows to a trickle.

Great instructions. BUT, I'm still perplexed why, since 2016, EVERYONE has been reporting the fluid level from the factory is low by around 1/2 -3/4 quart? It can't possibly be true that the factory has been underfilling for 5 years in a row and counting. So what I've been doing is compromising - measuring the amount drained and pouring back the same amount + 1 pint more (16 oz) instead of 2-3 pints more (32-48 oz).

Nice to hear your Taco has the same ticking mine has when idling

Thanks for this. I knew jumper wasn't going to work when i saw no contact in position 13 of the OBD port on my 2020. Your method worked perfectly.

Thank you sir for sharing. May excellent health and good fortune follow you always. Worked for me on my 2021. Just adjusted fluid level, about a half to 3/4 quart low from factory. Only 8,000 miles. Shameful.

What a shit design, dipstick please

Dude! Thank you so much. I was trying the paper clip and nothing would work.. but that did. Mahalo

Very well done my man

I read another forum that said to put it from S back to P and then shift between neutral. I got a 2022. Sr so I’m really not sure how different the procedures are from year to year and model

2020 Tocoma truck. What is the toque on the transmission drain plug and is it in foot lbs or inch lbs?

I like to start off by thanking everybody who help me with this transmission fluid, draining project on my 2020 Tocoma. Now I know how to bring it up to "at temp check mode." I am just spitballing here, my engine is cold. I pump fresh fluid in my transmission until it starts running out of the overflow. I wait until it stops flowing. I plug the hole and snug it down. Then start the engine and bring the fluid up to the correct temperature, then crawling back underneath the truck, removing the plug and adjust fluid level through the overflow. The point I am trying to make is that will this damage my transmission with the possibility having too much fluid in the transmission during the warm-up period.

I have done what you suggested the D stays on for 2 seconds, disappears and comes back on. However, the D never blinks. I waited up to 8 minutes for the D to blink . I noticed there's no pin 13 on 2020 Tocaoma so it is your way or the highway. The ambient temperature has been 60 degrees. I have to questions. One, does this mean that I am in the temp check mode and I can go and adjust the transmission fluid thru the overflow plug. Two, I am not reaching the maximum temperature to trigger the blinking to the D indicator of some reason.

All that just to check the trans temp? At that point just buy a scangauge that connects to your OBDII that’s measures more than just your trans temp. It can measure trans temp, engine temp, cylinder temp, exhaust temp, battery temp, battery voltage, alternator voltage, speed, over 60 different operations. Well worth the money.

I have a 2020 Toyota Tocoma , how do I know that you are correct. You are the only one that is not using a jump wire. Is their data that will support your method? I tried it your way and I got the same results. A second opinion would be good.

wow. really well played! can’t help to ask what bass is that. sounds awesome!

Huge Zep fan and my favorite JPJ bass line....dude you nailed this, great job and just illustrates more how much a genius JPJ is, great job!

Excellent bass tone,well played👍

Great job dude!

You done JPJ proud!

Extremely well done. Both the playing as the choice of your tone. Congrats!
