Transmission Fluid and Oil Filter Change

How to change the oil filter and fluid on the 3rd generation Toyota Tacomas. This applies for all of 2016 and up. By just doing a drain and fill on a transmission, you miss at least half of the fluid that is still in the pan. Enjoy the video on my 2018 Toyota Tacoma V6 SR5 Automatic.

How many ft-lb for the oil pan bolts? I heard you say 65ft-lb? Or is it 65 in-lb?

Recently did this as part of my 60K service. Your video was a great resource in preparing for it! Hope you continue to enjoy your Tacoma.

Very thorough job explaining plus great photography and sound quality.

For all of us who are wondering, he said 65 all right but NOT ft-lbs, it's IN-LBS. so you want to set your wrench to 5.41 ft-lbs.

Great video and well done. Thanks for taking the time to show it to us.

Great job buddy! I appreciate how well you cleaned up everything before you reinstalled the pan.

How many quarts of ATF WS did you have to add back in?

Some one knows the part # for the filter O ring ? Tks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Man that truck is clean! You must be in the southern US. Mine is so rusty the fluid check bolt isn't even a hex anymore.

Thanks for the4 torque specs and edit. The magnets were reinstalled incorrectly but is probably fine. The have dimpled locators and 1 goes on top, 3 on bottom.

Sadly my 2020 didn’t have this same transmission filter in your description probably should of double checked myself

Wonderful helpful tips and guide. I have a 2018 Toyota Tacoma SR5 3.5L V6. @ 36, 000 miles I have a question and wanted to know if the same things you use work for mine as well or should I get a different kind of oil? Second question is what kind of transmission oil fuild do I use to change and what other things do I need to change also? It's hard to find real loyal mechanics so I came across your channel and hoping to get some help all the way from: Juneau Alaska

Awesome video! I’m getting ready to do my transmission fluid on my 2nd gen and the components are the same.
What degreaser do you recommend & do you also recommend a complete flush?

What's the part # if that filter o-ring?

[goodtalker]

On your video, is that an aftermarket item on the side of your transmission? I believe this is a Tacomos. It kind of looks like an item that used to standard on the Tundra...I think it helped with cooling the transmission? Thank you for your help.

[Midnightkevin]

I really like your videos man my tacoma is about to hit 60k and I was wondering if you can do video on change the coolant bc im about to change mine

So, I recently dented my trans oil pan, this video helped alot! But I was curious, where is the best site or parts store to order the pan itself from?
