So im doing an oil change buh i first looked at a youtube video to see where the oil drain plug was. Buh my stupid *** took off the trans one maybe a 1 1/2 quart drained out before i put the plug back. So my question is should i juss completely drain it out and put new or wat? Also wat kind of trans oil should i use to fill it bak up or to put new one. My is300 has 86000 miles.. Sorry for the languange buh true. Thanx for the help

Relax, no need to panic. Just buy some Toyota T-IV transmission fluid (can buy it at the dealer) and pour in 1.5 qts (or however much drained out) through the transmission fluid dipstick. So essentially what you do is a transmission fluid drain and fill. This is good to do every 30K miles or so.

Oh ok yea for a sec i did. I was told diff. I was told dat i cant drain it out cause of high mileage (which i thought i have good miles for my 01) cause it got used to the old one it had and ur not suppose to change trans oil juss engine oil. (btw the guy at oreilly said dat).
Buh thanx ill do dat.

I wouldn't flush the fluid out, maybe that is what he meant. But drain and fill is safe. As you saw, it only drains about 2 qts, so to get all new fluid in there you will have to do more drain and fills until the fluid is mostly new. For now, maybe do a couple more every oil change or every other oil change. Your fluid is supposed to be cherry red, so you'll know when you've done enough drain and fills.
