09+ with WS ATF, Checking Transmission Temperature

Post by cq358 »

As a 60kmiles service, transmission fluid level check is required. Since the WS fluid has a very special kind of characteristic, it expand and contract depends with the fluid temperature. Therefore, the fluid level indicated at the dip stick can be misleading it if the transmission is not fully warm up to a narrow operating temperature interval.There is a built in transmission temperature testing procedure. http://www.tacomaworld.com/for....html**** nevermind the Vibe doesn't come with the AT Oil Temp Light
