    can you pls share which oil you poured into the car (Make and Type). And the quantity (Ounce/ Ltr) poured.
    As one of the reason for the can be wrong type, and more than the quantity required.

    used genuine toyota gearbox oil, it took 4.5 liters to start dripping from refill hole, and the car was sitting straight

    Also, was the car level when refilled? Filling till it starts coming back out with the car level is the way to get the level right. Though that shouldn't be too critical. I'm also wondering what fluid was used, the specification is:

    Toyota ATF WS

    Also: was anything else done at the same time as the fluid change? Anything electrical disconnected, for example.

    You put in "Gearbox Oil" ? Can you post pic of the container
    4.5 ltr ? thats way too much.

    Typo, maybe he meant 3.5? He does mention "car was sitting straight".

    You are right, but what confuses me is "Gear Oil"

    Maybe just language thing. Or not. I posted the question in post #5. You're right though: completely wrong fluid could well be the issue. We wait...
