oh yeah transmission oil checker.
sorry about my typo. :P
So Aurion has different automatic transmission system?
or I just do not need to check the status of the trasmission oil?
:P such technical names guys..Its called a transmission oil level dipstick.
And yes i couldnt find the dipstick on my ZR6 either, i will hav a better look tomorrow.when the sun? is shining!
You will probably find that there is no dipstick to check the AT fluid level. The trend these days is to move towards a sealed system since transmission fluid under normal conditions is not consumed. It is also done that way to prevent the end user from overfilling the transmission oil and potentially stuffing up their gearbox. I believe if you would like to check the level of the transmission oil, you need to remove the overflow plug underneath the engine and stick your finger in if you can and feel if the oil is close to the top of the overflow plug. When the oil is full, it will be level with the top of this plug as when you fill it, you fill till the oil starts to overflow out this plug.
Edit: I also forgot to mention. When I got my car, I only got one key and remote with it. I bought a spare remote from eBay for only $26 shipped, but to be on the safe side, I purchased a key from Toyota. The Key cost $100 from the spare parts department, then I had to go get it cut by a locksmith for around $7. Since the only way to code the keys and remote is with the Toyota Scan Tool, I needed to book it in with the service department for them to do that. They have booked me in for next week. Who knows what they are going to charge and they also said it will take 30-45 minutes. I find that a bit of a lie however since after reading the service manual, it is a process that should only take a few minutes. The keys/remotes aren't actually coded to the car. The car is trained to recognise the keys and remote. Either way though, I'll soon find out how much they charge for a few minutes worth of labour which involes turning a key and pressing a few buttons.
Edit 2: I should probably have answered all questions in the first place. Anyways, you wont find the compliance plate under the hood. You should find a it (in the form of a sticker) on the front passenger side door sill. The sticker will contain you VIN, engine number, paint code, etc.
Thanks for your advice.
So I DO NOT need to check the transmission oil unless I feel something wrong with the trasmission, right?
If then, when do I have to change the Trasmission oil?
Should I change the oil regulary like when it's done 30k?
It sounds like it's pretty hard to check and replace it.
Also, I am pretty impressed by the key cost because it costs much more than I expected.
Please advise me the total price when you get the key's done.
I went to Supercheap auto for the paint with the colour code, that I could find it from the front passenger side door sill, and the code was 209 (thanks to DJKOR).
But the funny thing here is that they don't have any matched colour in their colour code books.
The guy from supercheap auto said that colour might be new because the aurion is new car or the code 209 could be matched with one of the old colour codes but I have to make sure with Toyota first.
