DIY – AT lipid replacement for Innova 2.8 - AC60
As astir of them who owns a Innova / Fortuner / Hilux oregon immoderate AT car for that matter, the work centers are not blessed to regenerate the AT lipid stating its sealed for life.
I had the akin acquisition and aft requesting a batch they agreed to regenerate the lipid but not to flush and regenerate the filter. Basically they were conscionable acceptable to drain the lipid from the lipid cookware and capable backmost in, which is not the close procedure.
I wasn’t convinced and started going done assorted forums and videos to recognize however it is done properly. Let maine not discarded your clip with excessively overmuch of constitute up and lets consecutive distant spell into details.
Odo astatine the clip of Oil alteration was 1,11,800 kms
Parts Required
• 8 Ltrs of Toyota WS lipid (each tin is 4 ltrs) – Part No 0888681855 – Approx. 4800rs each tin
• AT lipid filter – Part No – 3533071010 – Approx. 3600rs

• Oil Pan Gasket (optional)
• Brake cleaner / Carburetor cleaner (any make)
Tools Required
• Hose clip remover / chemoreceptor plier
• 10 & 12 size ratchet / Tubular spanner
• 24mm Socket / Spanner
• Bucket & Jug with measuring scale
• 12v pump (funnel and tube could beryllium utilized successful lack of pump)
• Allen cardinal – M8
• IR thermometer
• Waste Rags
• Plastic prying instrumentality (screw operator extremity tin beryllium utilized carefully)
• Paint brushwood / Soft brush
• Jack stands
Note : Here I borrowed a mechanics abstraction with a enactment pit which I could spell nether the car erstwhile the store was closed.
Step 1 – Loosen the filler bolt (24mm) connected the GB (passenger side), this is to let aerial successful for the lipid to travel out. Then drain the lipid from the cookware by loosening the drain plug with an Allen Key (m8 oregon equivalent successful the ratchet set) . Make definite to drain the lipid into the bucket which has measuring scale.
In my lawsuit I did a jugaad of marking the achromatic bucket with 1 ltrs scales.
Step 2 – Unscrew the cookware protector held with 5 – 12 size bolts. Once the protector shield is off, unscrew 8 – 10 size bolts astir the lipid pan. Use prying instrumentality / level caput screw operator to pry retired the cookware slowly.
Step 3 – Once the cookware is off, fto the lipid drip out. Clean the lipid cookware and the 3 magnets with the brake cleaner and fto it dry. My proposition is to usage heavy insubstantial towels to cleanable them up.
In this measurement you could announcement however overmuch deterioration & teardrop the GB has gone done by seeing the thickness of sludge connected the magnets.
Step 4 – Time to region the filter. Unscrew three- 10 size bolts holding the filter. Make definite you spot the bucket earlier you propulsion the filter out. Slowly afloat the filter downwards, its conscionable held by the O ringing connected the neck.
Once the filter is out, soak the insubstantial towel /rag with brake cleaner and cleanable the aboveground including the cookware mating surface.
Step 5 – Just use a bladed overgarment of caller lipid connected to the caller AT filters O ringing and propulsion it backmost into spot and enactment backmost the 3 screws holding it. Make definite not to implicit tighten them arsenic they’re held connected to aluminum valve body. Be cautious astir the filter arsenic determination are physics valves / wires astir them.
Step 6 – Check for immoderate cracks oregon cuts successful the lipid cookware gasket, if nary enactment backmost the cleaned cookware utilizing 8 -10mm bolts. Tighten the bolts successful transverse pattern. Clean immoderate lipid drips astir the cookware oregon GB station installation of the Pan.
Step 7 – Fill successful 3.5 liters of AT lipid done the filler plug (24mm bolt). Put backmost the filler bolt. Hand tighten the bolt for now.
(Make definite Pan drain plug and leveler plug is tightened earlier filling successful Oil)
Had missed to instrumentality a pic of the filler plug, the 1 supra is from internet.
Step 8 – Here we 2 radical to execute this step.
Since this car doesn’t travel with a abstracted AT lipid cooler, it is embedded into the radiator itself.
Move to the beforehand conception of the car, astatine the bottommost of the radiator determination are 3/4th inch pipes, region the tube towards rider broadside frame. (2 pipes – 1 tube brings successful the lipid and the different exits, we are removing the exit tube from the radiator truthful that we flush the lipid though the valve body, torque convertor, radiator (AT Cooler) ).
Insert an hold tube into the radiator outlet and inquire the different idiosyncratic to commencement the car, wrong 30-40 seconds you could announcement flimsy bubbling successful the lipid outlet, that means we are are moving retired of lipid successful the pan, crook disconnected the engine. Fill successful the cookware with different 3.5 ltrs of lipid arsenic mentioned successful measurement 7.
Repeat the same, commencement the motor and this clip arsenic the idiosyncratic sitting successful the car to determination the cogwheel crossed R N D truthful it goes done each the cogwheel valves (he needs to beryllium quick, approx. 5 seconds each gear).
The idiosyncratic beneath the car to support noticing the colour of the oil. As you spot caller lipid coming retired of the radiator outlet power disconnected the motor and plug backmost the hose.
So successful this measurement we person completed the flush step.
Go backmost to measurement 7 again, but this clip unscrew the leveler plug from the Pan and capable successful the stay lipid and arsenic you spot lipid dripping retired of the leveler halt filling successful and enactment backmost the leveler plug.
Step 9 – Start the car dilatory determination the cogwheel successful to R N D for 15 secs successful each truthful that if determination are immoderate aerial gaps it would beryllium cleared. Slowly instrumentality it for a trial thrust and slot into each cogwheel possible.
Once the motor is astatine operating somesthesia (approx. 5-6kms drive), get beneath the car and cheque for the Oil cookware somesthesia it should scope anyplace betwixt 40-46 Deg Celsius (make definite to cheque astatine aggregate points crossed the cookware for mean temperate). Once you mean the somesthesia unscrew the leveler plug lipid should drip retired successful the bladed line, hold until the lipid stops draining retired with a bladed streak.
Note : At 40-46 deg C if the lipid doesn’t drain from the leveler, which successful my lawsuit happened, you request to adhd lipid done the filler until you spot the lipid dripping retired of the leveler plug.
Note : If you person entree to nonrecreational scanning tool, you could usage the aforesaid to measurement the AT lipid somesthesia alternatively of the IR thermometer which I used.
Step 10 – Tighten the filler bolt (24mm), cleanable each the hoses, surfaces and cheque for immoderate leakages.
If determination are none, you’re done with the occupation and you could bask creaseless & speedy shifts.
On a precautionary enactment I drove the car for a week and checked the lipid done the leveler plug and it was good truthful nary lipid apical up was required.
I could capable successful approx. 7.8 ltrs into the system. I person driven approx 5k station this alteration and its worthy the clip and wealth I spent connected this.
I was precise lazy to benignant this 1 until I saw immoderate members were charged for 2 cans and filling successful lone 1 tin from TASS. Also they did not bash the flush. Hence I taught this would assistance many.
This process is akin for each AT Gearboxes without dipstick
Some much pictures
Bad lipid which came retired of the system.
Comparison of the Old and Fresh Oil
I dropped disconnected the utilized lipid astatine Shell Fuel Station truthful that it goes done due recycling channel.
Happy to reply immoderate questions.
