So I consulted my manual
And wondering if it is essential to replace the transmission filter and gasket?
In the manual it just says replace ATF, unlike the engine which says replace engine oil and engine oil filter?

Yep, looks like your dipstick. The drain plug is down the bottom of the pan, also on the passenger side. Check out this guy video, clear and concise:
Thanks Adrian

20ten, u250e should have a dipstick, from memory you'll find it on the passenger side in the engine bay and you should be able to refill through the dipstick hole using a funnel if it's the same as the 4 speed version.
And that 33.99aud filter kit isn't Toyota OEM. Don't bother with it, for the filter and gasket I'd go with Toyota, try to get a quote from your nearest dealer.
Thanks heaps for pointing that out. Adrian... i just assumed the 4 speed transmission didn't have a dipstick aswell
is this the ATF dipstick? the one beside the battery
would you know where the drain plug is for the ATF on the U250E transmission?

U660E transmission is the 6 speed transmission used in the V6 Aurions.
Have a look for the vehicle identification plates in the door openings.
Thanks ashley
my transmission is the U250E.
On the supecheap auto website, one of them says " Toyota U250E Trans" - just wondering when they say "Toyota" is that OEM? and better than the RYCO? ( even though its cheaper than the RYCO?)

Hi Ashley
I was reading the attachments and saw it says
"(1) Using SST, connect terminals 13 (TC) and 4 (CG) of the DLC3 with the ignition switch off."
Just wondering, if you have a picture of how to perform this step? ... I think its suppose to be connected with a paper clip
Thanks

Your vehicle is E10 compliant so essentially all should be fine.
However, my past very limited experience with E10 fuel is to expect the fuel economy to be worse. Another issue is how quickly you will be using that particular refill of E10 and water absoption.
Personally, I stick with 91 unleaded but will buy an occasional tankful of E10 with 94octane when driving interstate.

oh right thanks

oh right thanks

Big change from when we were being price gouged @ $1.55+ and Sydney pricing was much cheaper.
I use the Compare the Market Fuel website and spotted a nearby Independent has Premium 95 Unleaded less than $1
Going to refuel with either 91 or 95 unleaded this morning as the car's fuel tank is below half.
oh right thanks

Hi theres,
I have a 2010 Camry Altise
I usually fill with 91 unleaded but now realised that costco e10 is alot cheaper compared to buying 91.
So the question is i have about half a tank of 91, if i start filling it up with e10, is it ok when the e10 and 91 mixes?
Thanks

There is a drain plug on the bottom of the transmission pan. If it is similar to the Aurion, then you will need a 6mm allen key to undo the drain plug. Then you then use the same 6mm allen key to remove the plastic fluid level tube. There is a refill plug on the side of the transmission. It is 24mm. You will then need a funnel and length of 10mm plastic tubing to refill.
Highly recommend that you do a lot of research before attempting to change the ATF. There are a few detailed posts in the Aurion Forum about this topic. Good tip is to undo the refill plug first.
Last time, a few weeks ago, I changed the ATF and measured the amount of ATF that came out using a couple of clear plastic bottles. Used another clear plastic bottle as the refill measure.
thanks for the tips Ashley
just to confirm so is the refill plug accessible by the (on top) engine bay area... rather than refilling with pump from underneath the engine like in the video?
also what do you mean by "10mm plastic tubing to refill." -
do you mean something like this one

or this

also could you link me the detailed post about changing ATF, i done a search but couldnt find it

On the coolant overflow bottle there is a L [low] line and a F [full] line. Coolant expands with heat and goes from the radiator to the overflow bottle. When the engine is stopped and starts to cool down, coolant is drawn back into the radiator from the overflow bottle.
thanks for the explanation

Im not sure.
I just assumed it was normal transmission... however after more research i think it is like in the below youtube video
can anyone confirm?
if so, does anyone know where to buy the vacuum pumps the guy uses in the video and how much it would cost in NSW?
-
I thought the rule was max line for hot engine
and minimum line for cold engine
atm it is a bit above minimum line on a cold engine
