How many liters of transmission oil does the Prado 2700 require?

Toyota Prado 2700 generally requires about 4L-6L of transmission oil. Transmission oil usage: Most transmission oils on the market can be used for automatic transmissions. Each automatic transmission design has different technical requirements. Even the same model of transmission configured in different vehicles may vary in torque, weight, speed, structure, etc. Therefore, the original manufacturer specifies its own dedicated transmission oil. Precautions for changing transmission oil: Use a transmission cleaner in conjunction with a transmission oil exchange machine. Before draining the old oil, pour the cleaner into the transmission, suspend the drive wheels, start the engine, and continuously shift gears to allow the cleaner to clean all internal areas. After cleaning, use the exchange machine to drain the old oil while injecting new oil, and finally replace the filter.
I've been driving a Prado 2700 for several years, and the transmission fluid capacity typically requires about 6 liters. Every time I go to the repair shop for an oil change, the technician uses automatic transmission fluid (ATF-IV type). After draining the old oil, they slowly add new oil up to the 6-liter standard. Adding too little can cause the transmission to overheat and make shifting difficult, while adding too much can lead to foaming, which affects lubrication. I recommend changing the oil every 40,000 to 60,000 kilometers or every two years to maintain transmission health. The choice of oil is also crucial; it must meet Toyota standards to avoid damage from low-quality products. After the change, it's best to drive for a few minutes and then check the dipstick level to ensure the correct amount. If you're doing it yourself, remember to wear gloves for safety and measure the fluid at an appropriate ambient temperature for accuracy. Remember, regular transmission fluid maintenance can prevent major repair costs and extend your vehicle's lifespan.
