The same 36 Ft Lbs. The plug is lubricated with the ATF.

This is the slightly longer plug with the magnet included.

Wanted to show something I discovered after doing a drain and fill on my ATF today. On the side of the Toyota Type-IV bottle I bought at my neighborhood Toyota dealer it mentions on the right side (outlined in blue) exported by ExxonMobil. First time I have seen this listed on one of these bottles.

Lexmex,
Thanks for the pictures, just confirm what we always believes: Toyota outsources ATF to oil companies, in this case Exxon Mobile to Mexico.
I just passed 88K over the weekend, that is 20K of trouble free miles since changing 7 quarts of ATF

I changed my ATF again along with this time the tranny filter and wanted to add some photos for future references to this fine thread. Below a picture of ATF being drained from the pan.

New tranny filter installed. If you look in the upper left corner you will notice the tranny fluid dipstick.

Old tranny filter and notice all the sludge on my hand being wiped off the filter itself. (no bits on my magnet just the usual sludge).

Great! what about sticking this, along with many other very useful DIY and FAQ's threads, on top of the forum? The one currently there is mostly outdated.

I am going to stick this one as it is definitely the most popular DIY.

Great! wasn't there another one about replacing the transfer case oils? That one was very helpful as well.
