I'm a total dumba$$. I totally confused oil pan with...? is it the transmission oil pan?



Lastly, how to i fill it back up

 

You are draining Transmission Fluid. The engine oil is in front of it and drain lug is side way (Passenger wheel)

 

yeah, i just dont understand why i went ahead and drained the wrong pan is there any way to fill it back up? Or does it have to be done at the dealership? Did i drain the transmission fluid completely, or is there some fluid left in it so it would allow me to drive to the nearest dealership?

 

How much fluid drained out? Replace the same with new Toyota trans fluid.

 

about 2 qts came out. Just got the fluid and i'll attempt to to put the same amount back.

 

Put back the drain plug, now open up the allen bolt next to it, that the overflow tube so it will let you know when you have enough in the pan. Now towards driver side of the pan there a bolt you open up to fill, it has a WS stamp on the bolt. fill it till you see it comes out the overfill tube. Tighten up overfill bolt and the fill bolt and your done. Make sure you use Toyota ATF WS fluids

Good luck

 

Yes, thank you! I did exactly that and took about 2.5 qts to fill it up. I guess you gotta pay for your own mistakes. In my case it was $70 worth of the transmission fluid, and wasted Sunday's afternoon.
Anyways, thanks again

 

oh well, it is always good to have fresh fluid in it

 

$70? Jeeze. WS is only about $10 a quart.

 

Yeah, my nearest Toyota dealer charges $13/qt. and since i was there i bought 5 qts just in case.
