How to replace auto tranny fluid - Page 3 - Toyota Yaris Forums

And of course my question is... Flush the filter with brake cleaner? Do the Toyota filters no run a paper element? I saw the foam in the pic but is that all that is in there? Just wondering out loud.

Go purchase Toyota WS fluid plus one more court than your car will hold.
1. Drain the pan.
2. Refill the pan with exactly the same amount you drained.
3. Locate and remove the fluid return line from cooler to transmission.
3. Remove it and drain into graduated container.
4. Start the car, drain out the balance of the fluid as you add the new fluid.
5. Reconnect the return line, top off the fluid to proper level.
(As an added benifit you can also change the filter if the fluid is really dirty and burnt).
This will get most of the fluid out of the car cost effectively.
