I've gotten it. Will DIY on Saturday..
A quick question.. Should the transmission fluid be drained when hot or cold? And conversely..can the transmission fluid be poured into a hot or cold gearbox?

I advise you follow the Manual since you want to DIY.

Am more conversant with Volkswagen. For theirs, you allow the car cool down. Then add your fluid making sure the car is on a flat surface.

From the manual it says 3quarts for initial fill while it's 6quarts for total fill. The former is when you're draining and filling while the latter is when there's no single oil in the gear for example a new gear.

If 0w20 is not accessible, you can use the 5w20 but Toyota insists on getting back to the 0w20

WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU USE THE WRONG TRANSMISSION FLUID
The most common situation where the wrong transmission fluid is used is in the case of using automatic transmission fluid in place of variable transmission fluid and vice versa. Adding ATF to a to a CVT will eventually result in the death of your transmission.

WARNING SIGNS
There are a few warning signs that you can look for to indicate that you have used the wrong fluid in your transmission including:

Strange engine sounds such as clunking
Stalling after changing gears
Gears that won’t shift
Rough shifting
Gears that slip
Clutch locking up or Dragging Clutch
Check Engine Light On

Re: Let's Talk About Automatic Transmission Fluid (gear Oil) by ebuks4ever(m): 6:17pm On Mar 12, 2018
Is your car a CVT transmission? This is completely different from a regular Automatic Transmission. And so requires a different type of fluid. Take note.

Engine Oil 5w30 (4.6quarts)
Brake Fluid - Dot3
Transmission Fluid - Toyota Type T-IV

If the gear oil is dark in colour or smells burnt, then its overdue for change. You drain it out completely and also have the filter replaced.

If you have already purchased this oil then go ahead. If no, try and get the Toyota type IV transmission oil.
