#138 of 1322 So, how much transmission fluid does the Tundra take? by dano44

My buddy and I both have new 2001 Tundras (stop me now from waxing lyrical.......), but we've got a question for you experts. He's got 6000 miles on his (I just got mine and only have 400 miles) and decided to change the transmission fluid. He drained it and got a tad more than 4 quarts out. He checked the book and it says it takes 2.1 quarts to fill! He called 6 different dealerships and, you guessed it, got 5 different answers - the two who agreed suggested to go by the dipstick. When he did that - he was able to put in a bit over 3 1/4 quarts which got it to the top "cool" mark (obviously checking the level when it was cool). He asked me to check my level since my Tundra is only a week old. My factory level was about 1 1/4 inch ABOVE the cool mark (yes, the engine was definitely cold).So, what gives? 2.1 quarts, 3.3 quarts or 4+ quarts? And, wonder why the dealer service guys didn't give the same advice? Oh, when he called Toyota - they said he needed to call one of their authorized dealers who would give him the right answer!
Thanks.

My tundra can't tow squat. Final answer.#147 of 1322 Thinking of a Toyota by suncarrie

I am thinking of buying the limited 4X4 Tundra. I know that Toyota is know for its reliable trucks but I was wondering what the case is on these trucks (since they haven't been out too long). I love the look and I liked the way it drove. I would like to hear what anyone else has to say about them (espeically if you own one). It will be used to drive around town, tow (two large jetskis) and I will drive it skiing. Also, I would like to hear what people get for gas mileage. My other option was a Dodge Ram 25000 Diesel 4X4 mainly for the gas mileage (I like the look too). Any information anyone has to offer would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!Advertisement
