| Automatic transmission fluid overfilled? | 23Relevance | 3 years ago | Kevin1527 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi everyone, I hope you be having a good day. I recently change the ATF of my Subaru legacy 2009 4eat with 135.000 miles, I believe that the car had the original fluid because was so dirty. I remove close to a gallon (I put the old fluid In a gallon of Walmart distillated water) and was close to full the bottle, I put 3 quarters and close to 7/8 of a 4 quarter (approx the same quantity of ATF that I remove). the thing Is: I been checking the fluid level with the dispstick with the car hot, In a level surface after 30 minutes (13 miles) of driving (the distance from home to work) with the engine running and after shift to all gears and the level looks high, approx one finger over the full hot hole In the dipstick. my question Is: I overfilled the transmission? Is that possible If technically I put less ATF that I removed? If the previous owner change the fluid at least one time (I don’t think so) and overfilled the transmission must suffer any damage. I hope that you can help me because I’m very confused with the level of the ATF. Thank you | |||||

| AD99 Is correct. Additionally, when you change the ATF, make a note of the mileage and from that point onward change the ATF at the recommended Intervals to prolong the life of the transmission. | |||||

| So you wanna keep It for a long time or do you want to trade It In? If It’s the former, I’d check the condition of the ATF first, and then change It, using this as a guide - If It’s the latter, trade It In ASAP and find yourself a good condition Corolla or Civic. All the best! | |||||
| Answer to: Should transmission fluid be changed on a 2009 corolla with 65k miles? | 21Relevance | 3 years ago | MadeInJapanDude | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I changed the ATF on my 2006 Corolla about 2 months ago, and my car has around 220,000 miles on It. 2 months later and It still shifts good, though I didn’t change the ATF filter In the process but that hasn’t harmed anything. Definitely don’t repeat my mistake; change the ATF filter as well. That and the fluid change, you can do yourself as It’s not too difficult. The dealer or a mechanic would charge way more by comparison and would likely want to “flush” the fluid, which I wouldn’t recommend since you’re already at 65,000 miles. | |||||
| Answer to: 2013 GX 460 Transmission Fluid Change | 20Relevance | 6 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Yes, have them changed (drain and fill along with filter change). If the manual does not specify Interval changes for the ATF, then a good Interval that Scotty has mentioned Is every 30,000-70,000 miles. On my vehicles I aim for every 40,000-50,000 miles. Transmission fluid changes are much cheaper than a new transmission. If a vehicle has a weaker transmission from the factory (you don’t!), then change closer to every 30,000 miles.

| ... time you fill up the fuel, or more when required. Driving with low oil Is very bad for engines. change your engine oil + filter every 5,000 mi (8,000 km) or every year, whichever comes first. Adjust for unusual factors. You can change It less often If you primarily drive on freeways. change It more often If you tow, drive short trips, experience oil dilution, have high miles, etc. There's no such thing as a 10,000 mile oil change Interval. (these are marketing tactics to sell more cars) Links to more Information about: what kind of oil to use, and how often ... | |||||

| 2015 Toyota Highlander LE AWD 90,000 mi. I asked my mechanic If I Should change the transmission fluid. He told me his 4Runner has 275,000 miles on original fluid, and not worth the risk of something getting stuck In a spring doing the fluid. I watched a video of It being changed on almost the same make, model, and mileage…it didn’t look that dirty at all so I skipped It. Went out of town weeks later and after about 2 hours of driving It definitely felt like the transmission slipped pretty significantly In a unique situation (hitting the gas pretty hard a ... | |||||

| I just purchased this 2011 Toyota Avalon with 225,000 mostly highway miles. Don’t know If the ATF has ever been changed or even If the spark plugs have been changed either.

| 150 miles driven, my yearly oil change is due, do I really need to change my oil filter? | 22Relevance | 6 years ago | kbe0pyjl | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I've driven my car only 146 miles since my last oil change and I just noticed that I'm due for my yearly oil change. I am aware that Scotty says to change the engine oil at least once a year because the additives In It break over time. I am not aware of any additives or other factors that break/deteriorate over time that would call for replacing my lightly used oil filter at my next oil change. I'm thinking of unscrewing my oil filter, emptying the oil In the oil pan, screwing the "old" oil filter back In, and completing my oil change. Quoted from an advanceautoparts article: ```Do You Need to change Your Filter Along with Your Engine Oil? The quick answer to this Is “yes.” Let’s explain why. The oil filter Is designed with paper and fabric medium arranged In pleats – this medium traps particles that are no bigger than a few microns In size and prevents them from circulating through the engine, where they can start to build up on rotating assemblies and cause damage. (For comparison, an average human hair Is 60 microns In diameter.) When the filter Is completely saturated and can’t absorb any more contaminants, It’s essentially bypassed as the oil circulates. The particulates are still trapped In the filter, but what’s In the oil can’t be filtered out…and that, of course, Is when It's really time to change the oil. ``` It seems to me that my current oil filter Is nowhere near being "completely saturated" and there's no reason for me to change It for the reasons that the article stated. A possible reason to not reuse the oil filter Is that If I were to reuse It there's a small chance that I might dislodge the particles trapped In the filter and they would end up In the new oil. Should I change both the oil and oil filter? Should I change the oil and empty the oil filter of the old oil? Should I change the oil and not touch the oil filter? | |||||
