Thook, thanks for the reply. The oil is still red/pink in color and only has a distinct tranny fluid smell. Don't think it is burned. Having said this, I have not experience with auto trannies, so I am limited in smell factors.

Regarding the change in filter, any advice on whether to use a filter from Toyota or Napa? Assuming it is recommended to use the Toyota filter. Is this a time consuming effort or pretty straight forward? Just drain fluid from plug, break seal along pan with a putty knife, remove pan, remove filter and replace all sound right?

A question on a different topic....CV joints and universal joints. Have you replaced either on your wife's runner?
