fpny Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 I just checked my transmission oil on my 97 ES300 before I changed it. The level on the dip stick seems to be high when I checked it. It is a bit above the hot mark when the engine is running and at operating temperature after shifting through all the gears. After I shut off the engine and drain the transmission oil, less than 3 qts of oil came out. The manual said the refill suppose to take 3.7 quarts. These number does not add up as you can see (less than qts out and 3.7 qts in and the level already high before it is drained). Could someone tell me what is going on here and how much I suppose to put back in. I did finally put in 3 qts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
