Thanks, ttufrosty...This is how I will be spending my Saturday morn. Great DIY post...

The Spectacle · 01-02-2013, 10:45 PM

Great DIY and I just want to give a few notes for anyone tackling this in the future.

- I didn't do this on my car until 75k. The fluid came looking brand new with no metal shavings. However, I was having some issues with the shifter being stubborn in cold weather, especially reverse. After the fluid change, the tranny shifts better than it did stock (as far as I remember)

- A lot of people are recommending Redline, Royal Purple and other exotic oils...you don't really need that stuff. I used Pennzoil Syncromesh out of Autozone for like $8 a quart and it like I said, it shifts better than it did brand new. For reference, here's what it looks like: http://pennzoil.com/other-car-produc...mission-fluid/

- The 24mm socket size for the fill plug was impossible to find in 1/4 inch. I ended up buying a 1/2 to 1/4 adapter to do the job.

- Buy whatever you need so you can do the fill from the top. I used a hand-actuated vacuum pump that I used to bleed brakes and it was a major PITA to do under the car. I did my best to put all 2qts in, but really as long as you can stick your finger in the fill hole (lol) and feel fluid, you've got enough in there.

To add^ its alot easier to fill the fluid from the reverse sensor port

Fatty Lumps · 01-27-2013, 05:30 PM

Just want to give a thank-you for the DIY. Made the job simple for me, faster than changing the oil.

I'm also interested curious about the reverse sensor fill method if anyone has a reference image?

YarisPH · 02-17-2013, 12:02 AM

Hi guys! First post here but been lurking for a while. Just wanna say thanks to the one who made this DIY guide! I used 2 quarts of Redline MT-90 on our 2008 Vios (Yaris sedan's name here in the Phils.). Car has 42K ++ kilometers on the ODO. Will observe the gear changes later on, as I've read a lot of good feedbacks on this oil. Many thanks again Yarisworld. :)

elo179 · 03-28-2013, 01:06 PM

Can someone post a link to Amazon with Red Line that's MT-90 GL4 75w90 that has been recommended.

I can only seem to find MT90 that is 90w. Or if I do find the 75w90 MT-90 it's in 5 qt.

I don’t know the difference from 75w90 and 90w but it seems most of you are recommending the 75w90.

If possible would like it sold or shipped by Amazon to take advantage of prime shipping.

hw6515 · 03-28-2013, 01:09 PM

did you try:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_no...T-90+GL4+75w90

Be careful with amazon prime.......it's kind of addictive ;)

elo179 · 03-28-2013, 01:15 PM

Thanks for the quick reply. Do you know if the oil link below is a 75w90, I know Amazon doesn't always do a good job with product descriptions and it say's 90w but am not sure if there is a difference.

http://www.amazon.com/Red-Line-50304...=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

hw6515 · 03-28-2013, 01:20 PM

Try this link, still prime.

I looked at that and it's 85w, not sure what the difference is from 90w but Amazon tells me that it's not compatible with my Yaris :)

Which is an 07 manual hatchback that lives in the south Texas heat.

No local dealers within 50 miles. :(

Hershey · 03-29-2013, 12:05 AM

elo179 , you could ask a local private owned auto parts to possibly order it for you . That's what I did . AMSOIL has MTG ( 75w-90 , GL-4 ) synthetic and is usually easier to purchase . MTG , http://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-produc...r-lube-75w-90/ . Good Luck .

Thanks for the tutorial. As mentioned by others, the oil did gush out. All the oil must have come out in less than 5 seconds. I was thinking of letting it slowly drip out when it started coming out just before the bolt comes completely out and I should have :)

Somehow I had never changed the oil for the manual transmission and it was probably [over]due, currently sitting at 147 000 km... lots of highway kms but should have done it before.

I used the marker trick and it worked really well for the top bolt. Bottom one fell in the oil pan and the mark came off.

Filling it up with a funnel from Canadian Tire with a hose attachment worked like a charm.

Looking up from underneath:

Where I put the funnel. I moved the air filter cover sideways a bit to make the funnel go in a little more
