1. DRAIN ATF
Using a hexagon wrench, remove the drain plug and fluid into
the suitable container.
2. REMOVE OIL PAN AND GASKET
NOTICE:
Some fluid will remain in the oil pan.
Remove oil pan bolts, and carefully remove the pan assembly.
Discard the gasket.
3. EXAMINE PARTICLES IN PAN
Remove the magnets and use them to collect any steel chips.
Look at the chips and particles in the pan and magnet carefully
to anticipate what type of wear you will find in the transaxle.

Steel (magnetic): bearing, gear and plate wear

Brass (non±magnetic): bushing wear
4. REMOVE OIL STRAINER AND APPLY PIPE BRACKET
(a) Remove the 3 bolts and oil strainer.
NOTICE:
Be careful as oil will come out of the strainer when it is re-
moved.
(b) Remove the 3 bolts and apply pipe bracket.

REPLACEMENT
1. DRAIN ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Remove the radiator cap.
CAUTION:
To avoid the danger of being burned, do not remove the ra-
diator cap while the engine and radiator are still hot, as fluid
and steam can be blown out under pressure.
(b) Loosen the radiator drain plug (on the right side of the ra-
diator lower tank) and engine drain plug (on the left rear
of the cylinder block), and drain the coolant.
(c) Close the drain plugs.
Torque: 25 N´m (250 kgf´cm, 18 ft´lbf) for engine
2. FILL ENGINE COOLANT
(a) Slowly fill the system with coolant.

Use of improper coolants may damage engine cool-
ing system.

Use ºToyota Long Life Coolantº or equivalent and
mix it with plan water according to the manufactur-
er's directions.

Using of coolant which includes more than 50 %
(freezing protection down to ±35°C (±31°F) or 60 %
(freezing protection down to ±50°C (±58°F)) of eth-
ylene±glycol is recommended but not more than 70
%.
NOTICE:

Do not use an alcohol type coolant or plain water
alone.

The coolant should be mixed with plain water (prefer-
ably demineralized water or distilled water).
Capacity:
w/ Oil cooler6.9 litters (7.3 US qts, 6.1 lmp. qts)
w/o Oil cooler6.2 litters (6.5 US qts, 5.4 lmp. qts)
(b) Install the radiator cap.
(c) Start the engine, and bleed the cooling system.
(d) Refill the radiator reservoir with coolant until it reaches the
ºFULLº line.

(c) Replace the ATF.
(1) Remove the drain plug and drain the fluid.
(2) Reinstall the drain plug securely.
(3) With the engine OFF add new fluid through the oil
filler pipe.
Fluid type: ATF D±II or DEXRON®III (DEXRON®II)
Capacity: 2.5 liters (2.6 US qts, 2.1 Imp. qts)
(4) Start the engine and shift the shift lever into all posi-
tions from P to L position and then shift into P posi-
tion.
(5) With the engine idling, check the fluid level. Add
fluid up to the COOL level on the dipstick.
(6) Check the fluid level is at the normal operating tem-
perature, 70 ± 80 °C (158 ± 176 °F), and add as
necessary.
NOTICE:
Do not overfill.
(d) Check the fluid leaks.
Check for leaks in the transaxle.
If there are leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace O±rings,
gasket, oil seals, plugs or other parts.
(e) Inspect and adjust the throttle cable.
(1) Check that the accelerator pedal is fully released.
(2) Check that the inner cable is not slack.
(3) Measure the distance between the outer cable end
and stopper on the cable.
Standard distance: 0 ± 1 mm (0 ± 0.04 in.)
If the distance is not standard, adjust the cable by the adjusting
nuts.
