Something to check as the vehicles get older.
Transmission pan bolts loose or missing.
Original torque spec is 4.4nm. That is like usual, to do the job properly, the way the Toyota engineers designed it.
An old gasket might not like 4.4nm. So I suggest using a 1/4 drive ratchet & extension a gentle tweak.
Sometimes you will find a few looser than others, that is what you are looking for, before its too late.
IMO part of service after 150,000k. Not in the book, but my recommendations from experience.
