    The correct level is achieved by filling till it comes back out, with the car level. You probably are close, but it is SO much easier, with car raised and level.

    I done my partners gen2 a couple weeks back :)

    It took 3.6L

    I was happy to use valvoline maxlife as edthefox made me aware the motor generators are not submerged in fluid in gen2

    Hi Patrick,
    How many miles do you change the transmission oil? The last oil that I use and I want to replace is the one you told me to buy at the Toyota dealer. Thanks,
    CCG

    I would change the oil after the first 30K miles; then every 60K miles beyond the initial change.
