Complete replacement of transmission fluid in automatic transmission

The procedure for a complete oil change in an automatic transmission is identical to the partial process. Only after you fill the machine with lubricant, you will need to tighten the plugs and remove the hose from the return pipe. Connect a long hose to it and lead it outside.

Insert the remaining end of the hose into a five-liter bottle.
Call your partner and ask him to start the Prado 120 engine.
A black liquid will flow into the bottle.
Wait until it changes color.
If you haven’t changed it, then turn off the Prado 120 engine and top up the automatic transmission with oil again.
Repeat the procedure. Do this until light oil runs.
Turn off the engine and install the hose back. It should take you up to 12 liters for a full shift.
Take a Prado 120 for a ride and check the level.

Add lubricant to the automatic transmission as necessary. Now you know how to carry out a complete fluid change.

The process of changing the oil in the gearbox

On a Highlander, changing the oil in the gearbox is carried out in several stages. First you need to do the preparatory work. The preparation stage includes the following points:

Complete warming up of the engine system and engine fluid.
Wait until the rear gearbox oil cools down and is ready to be drained into a special pre-prepared container.

For safety reasons, you should wait a certain amount of time so that the system cools down and the lubricant has time to flow in the required volume into a special container.

Each driver determines the frequency of oil changes in the rear gearbox independently, because the replacement period depends not only on the mileage of the car, but also on the operating conditions of the vehicle and driving style. In accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, the lubricant in the gearbox should be replaced every 20 thousand kilometers. However, these indicators are designed for ideal driving conditions; with aggressive driving on rough terrain, the update frequency is halved.

In order to change the rear gearbox oil, the following tools are required:

Hex screwdriver.
Universal set of tools.
New transmission fluid.
Gloves.
Rags.
Special cleaning agent.

It is necessary to change the fluid of the specified type, adhering to a clear sequence of actions.

First stage

Draining old fluid from the gearbox in a Toyota Highlander occurs as follows:

Warm up the system thoroughly.
Wait a certain amount of time for the rear gear system to cool down.
Unscrewing the special drain plug.
Drain the old used oil from the system into a special container.

After passing the first stage, the second stage begins - the flushing stage.

Second phase

Before pouring new oil into the rear gear system of the car, it is necessary to thoroughly rinse it from metal shavings and settled dirt. To do this, you need to follow the following sequence of actions:

Engage the vehicle in first gear.
Using special tools, namely a hose and a syringe, introduce the flushing fluid into the rear gearbox system.
Allow some time for a complete and thorough cleaning of the system.
Drain the flushing agent and the remaining waste, as well as metal particles and shavings into a pre-prepared container.

When partially replacing the lubricant, the flushing step is skipped, but in this case the mechanisms are not cleaned of waste residues and the transmission fluid is renewed only by 40-45%. Therefore, partial replacement is carried out at least three times with an interval of 100 kilometers. This method allows you to save time on replacing the lubricant, but affects its quality, so after some time it is recommended to completely replace the transmission fluid with flushing the distributor.

Third stage

The final stage when replacing the rear gearbox lubricant is to fill in new transmission oil. In this case, you must adhere to the following step-by-step instructions:

Unscrew the filler plug.
Using a special syringe, measure 450 grams of new oil.
Fill the rear gearbox with lubricant.
Drive the vehicle and, if necessary, add some lubricant to the system.
Tighten the drain plug to avoid leaks in the system.

Every driver must ensure that the vehicle is regularly inspected to ensure that the rear gearbox oil is changed. This will not only help to avoid costly repairs to the gearbox and axle system, but will also minimize the owner’s expenses when changing the oil.

Preparation for replacement and necessary tools

The following equipment will be required for the work:

150 gram syringe;
hexagon 10;
a pair of wrenches;
hose (depending on container);
a tube.

A hose is needed to pump liquid into a narrow container. Instead of draining using a hose, you can install a wide container under the units being serviced. Wrenches will be required to dismantle the engine protection, a hexagon will be required to unscrew the drain and control-fill plugs of the gearbox.

Approximate budget for necessary tools

Changing the oil in the transfer case and gearbox of a Rav 4 will require a modest list of accessories. Considering that most owners have a set of tools, including a hexagon and wrenches, as well as a free container, they will have to additionally purchase a syringe, a hose and, possibly, a tube. All this will cost less than 500 rubles. Even less than 1 thousand rubles will be required to purchase 1 liter of oil. Based on this, the total work budget for the 3rd generation will be up to 1.5 thousand rubles.

When to change the oil

Changing the lubricant in the transfer case, transmission, gearbox, and axles is considered elements of a comprehensive replacement of vehicle fluids.

It is recommended to check every 20-40,000 kilometers; the user manual advises carrying out a complete oil change in the axles, automatic transmission and transfer case of the Prado 120 at 40,000 mileage.

In this case, it often turns out that the lubricants have not yet had time to exhaust their service life. Owners note: after 40,000 km, the fluid in the transfer case is clean - it is not advisable to drain it. Because of this, some people postpone work on bridges until 60, or even 100,000 kilometers.

On the other hand, driving on already used oil can end disastrously for the car: a lack of lubrication accelerates the wear of parts, contributes to their heating and corrosion.

Therefore, it is better to drain the liquid, even if it is still clean, than to risk the “health” of the Prado.

Changing the oil in the transfer case

According to the instructions, synthetic oil for the transfer case of Land Cruiser 200 75w90 is recommended. Replacement algorithm:

Toyota LC 200 is fixed on a plane.
The transfer case muffler is removed, 2 bolts are first unscrewed. Screwing force 12 Nm.
The protective casing is removed from the transfer case and the bolts are first unscrewed.
The fill and drain plugs open. After removing the gasket, the liquid is removed.
The drain plug is tightened with a force of 37 Nm. First, the old gasket is replaced with a new one.
Fresh oil is poured in small doses into the transfer case of the Toyota Land Cruiser 200 diesel (up to 1.5 liters in total). Its quantity is determined through the filler hole.
After 10 minutes, the oily liquid will settle and the new level will be checked. If necessary, top up.
The filler plug is screwed in (force 37 Nm) with a fresh gasket.
The parts of the mechanism return to their original position.

Following the manufacturer's technical manual, it is easy to pour 2 liters of oil into the transfer case of the Land Cruiser 200 model. For automatic transmissions and manual transmissions, lubricant in the transfer case is SAE75W-90.

It is useful for the owner of a Toyota Land Cruiser 200 to know that engine oil requires timely updating, otherwise the car may fail prematurely. Overhauling the engine and other mechanisms is much more expensive.

Which oil to choose

The Toyota manufacturer gives strong recommendations for the Land Cruiser 200 model on the choice of lubricant for the front and rear axle gearboxes, transfer case and transmission:

Automatic transmission - ATF T 4, ATF WS;
fill the axles with semi-synthetic as well as mineral oil - 85W95, 80W90;
transfer case - GL3, GL5 API, SAE 75W90.

Toyota Land Cruiser service representatives use original fluids for all vehicle parts. When replacing yourself, it is permissible to use other lubricants that meet the requirements stated by the manufacturer.

Inexpensive synthetic oil 75W90 in gearboxes and axles tolerates temperature changes well and is practically no different from the original lubricating fluids in quality.

According to the manufacturer, one type of lubricant is suitable for the gearbox and axles. Most car owners believe that synthetic additives for each mechanism should be different, especially under operating conditions at low temperatures.

Thus, oil with artificial additives for gearboxes can impair the performance of the transfer case. Toyota dealers, when performing a comprehensive fluid change in a car, pour the same lubricant into both mechanisms.

Difficulties arise when updating the oil in the Land Cruiser transmission. Most drivers choose expensive original manufacturer fluids, trusting the quality. In practice, car enthusiasts use:

GT oil GT ATF 4;
Aisin ATF AFW;
Total branded oils;
PC DURADRIVE MV SYNTHETIC ATF;
Takayama ATF universal fluid.

The technical characteristics of the listed lubricants are not inferior to those recommended by the manufacturer. In aggressive natural conditions, some of them exhibit better frost resistance.

Step-by-step process for changing rear axle oil

The car is fixed with a car lift or placed on a flat platform. To make it easier to remove the liquid, lift the front or rear part of the body with a jack. Replacing old oil in a Land Cruiser 200 gearbox is quick:

The drain plug is unscrewed and the used lubricant flows into the container.
The magnet is cleaned of settled dirt and metal particles.
The rings are changed to seal and prevent leaks. The drain plug is screwed back in.
Fresh lubricant (4.2 - 6 l) is poured through a pump through a drain hole with a filler plug. The latter is twisted by hand.

For cars with high mileage, it is worth taking care at the same time to clean the valves from accumulated dirt, which will prevent leaks due to squeezed out oil seals. Changing the lubricant in the bridge does not affect gasoline consumption.

Signs of a gearbox malfunction:

An attentive car owner will be able to determine the presence of a malfunction by the following signs:

AXLE REDUCER LEAK - The cause is damage to the seals.
GEARBOX HUM (CONSTANT) - As a rule, the cause of hum in the gearbox is wear of the bearings due to untimely oil changes or “oil starvation” (oil seal leakage), as well as under increased load (for example, it was skidding somewhere for a long time). The gear hum may be accompanied by rustling .
GEARBOX HUMM (ON GAS SUPPLY/RESET) — The adjustment of the contact patch of the main pair is disrupted, which leads to its rapid wear.
KICKS, SHOTS OF THE GEARBOX - The gearbox adjustment is broken.

The gearbox mechanism is one of the most loaded in a car. Mistakes with poor-quality intervention will only aggravate the situation. Even a seemingly simple replacement of the shank oil seal can lead to a more serious breakdown, since replacing it requires adjustment of the gearbox.
