    hi thommo,

    I'm told that a regular transmission service involves a fluid and transmisson filter change....approx $220 but, the catch for me is that to fill the transmission to the correct level of new fluid takes a little bit of careful thought and knowledge of the pado transmission ...because...in very shortened terms (and I am certain that its not complete, but the toyota service manual seems to make a big deal of it), as you actually need to initially over fill the transmission slightly, get the transmission up to a specified operational temerature, and then drain the overfilled fluid until it just stops to run out the overfill plug...so its easy to get the wrong volume installed, as far as I can understand it. Also, it would be easy to have it at the worng temperature, and if you don't know what you are doing you can just get it all wrong...so I have absolutely decided thats its not a DIY job for me, but likewise, I am also not prepared to just let any auto service centre do it unless they have specific knowldge & experience of the prado transmission servicing detals..else preventative maintenance could become an expensive repair perhaps? If I can, I'll post some of the specific details from the service manual just so others can see whats involved with re-filling the transmission.

    Any further thoughts/comments from those who knows a lot more about the 150 Prado transmission than I is always welcome and sought?

    Toyota recommend 80,000k fluid replacement in the auto if you do any of the following
    'drive on rough, muddy or snow covered roads'
    'drive on dusty roads'
    'towing trailers caravans or using roof top carriers'
    'stop start city or suburban driving'

    i removed the others but im sure you can tick all of the above, its what they call 'severe conditions' its in the warranty and service manual if your interested... I personally would call it normal driving.

    I change mine every 40k and recommend my customers do the same, certainly will prolong the life of the transmission. a couple of hundred vs a 6k tranny rebuild i know what i would prefer.

    They are only semi synthetic basestock oils used in the transmissions and with heat cycling etc they will break down over time they certainly wont last for 'life' whatever that means in manufacturers terms. Has it ever been checked? If it has how? a colour check? Pretty thorough check that isnt it. Just because it looks clean doesnt mean it has anywhere near the properties it had when it was put into the transmission.

    Take JSS's lead and get it done 100k is too long

    Kawana Automatic Transmissions 54935599. Ask for Terry (he's the boss) but anyone who works there knows their stuff.
    I know 3 mechanics in Caloundra & all of them recommend him.

    started a topic 150 auto transmission service

    150 auto transmission service

    Some folk have commented about fitting auto transmission coolers, and also servicing the auto transmission.
    I have started some enquiries, and it would seem that auto transmision specialists will service the auto (involving changing a filter and the transmission fluid) for approx $220.

    Even though the transmission is "sealed" and there is no auto fluid dip stick, the fluid and filter can still be changed,a and may be worth doing to prolong auto transmission life and smooth function.

    Having just about done 100,000km, with some towing, (but less than 700kg gross towing weight, so not lots of weight, and never having an auto overtemperature warning), it may be worth considering an auto service...any comments or thoughts.

    Specifically, does anydone know of somewhere that has specific knowledge and particular experience with servicing the 150 Prado transmission, and has a good reputation.
