Another Tranmission Drain Question

I have read all the other threads, just a quick question. I have an 03 Camry with auto trans. Do I have a 10 mm hex head for drain plug. For some reason I thought the new Haynes manual said 14mm? Does anyone know which one it is? I misplaced my Hayned manual.

Is my trans and diff the same unit using the same fluid? I belive it is. If so I just drain from the plug and refill, no other plug for diff, correct? Then I am going to disconnect the passenger side hose to radiator to complete the flush. I am glad I read alot. You can't use Mobile 1 synthetic in a trans that requires Type IV Fluid. I almost screwed up my beauty

It is probably a 10mm hex head bolt. The Differential and Transmission call for the same fluid, but are totally seperated. There is a drain plug for the differential also. No clue on the Synthetic fluid, I havent heard anything about not using it on Type IV fluid, where did you hear this?

I read it on some threads I found I google, sorry I can't provide links. I searched Toyota Type-IV I believe and cross matched with Mobile 1 Synthetic. Anyway I just bought the toyota stuff for $4 a quart, not bad since I have an extended warranty. After that I will go to Amsoil synthetic trans fluid, good stuff, but expensive. Hmm, I was thinking the trans and diff are one combined sealed unit, hmm? Thanks for the response.
