hey, i dont have an owners manual..got one ordered. but im about to drain my tranny (not do filter at this time) and i just wanted to know how much fluid ill need. im goin to get the factory oem fluid, mine's lookin a little brown.

 

oh yea..its a 95 3.0 auto. thanks

 

Manual says 4.8 qts for a drain and refill in a 95 3.0. But for my 2001 4Runner the manual says 2.5 qts and it took almost 5, so it wouldn't hurt to get some extra. Most places you should be able to return any unused sealed bottles.

 

I'm not sure how many miles you have on your tranny, but it most definently will be worthwhile to add some BG tranny additive when you are doing your pan-drain. Just make sure not to overfill your tranny....

 

appriciate it fellas..just spoke w/ dealership and they said on a 95 its no big deal to run the green antifreeze and off the shelf (but good) atf..think im goin w/ the valvoline max life, ive got 122k on engine and tranny. thanks again.

 

think again about the green stuff off the shelf, pony up the few buck and buy the red toyota stuff. At the dealership I've seen to many corroded, pitted aluminum engine parts. the 4.00 you save using the green stuff could eventually cost you a whole lot more.

 

most all of the stuff ive bought recently wasnt green stuff.... it was reforumlated "yellow" stuff "safe for AL"

cant say ive seen green in over a year....

 

bout how many gallons of antifreeze do i need for the 3.0 auto?

 

The capacity is 10 litres so for a correct 50:50 mix you'd need 5 litres of antifreeze.

 

ANY ethylene-glycol antifreeze will work just fine. NO PROBLEMS.
