FYI: I have a 2009 DC TRD OffRoad 4x4.
So I went to drain my oil today only I didn't remove the oil plug, I removed the transmission plug that is underneath the truck. Now, I know I didn't lose all of my fluid, but I don't know if I put the correct amount back.
I attempted to research here and other places and could not find a specific source to help me. From what I gathered, I was fairly safe with adding 3 quarts of ATF fluid in the side fill hole on the passenger side of the transmission.
I drove the truck about 10 miles or so. Slow takeoffs. Hard takeoffs. Sudden takeoffs from a steady speed and it performed normal.
My questions are:
How bad did I screw up?
How much is going to cost me to fix this correctly to ensure there are no lingering affects from this?
I am so nervous now, this was such a careless mistake. I've changed the oil in my truck nearly 10 times now and hundreds of times other vehicles and never done anything this stupid.
