Good evening GAZZUZZ

I have a Toyota Corolla 2010 and the transmission oil has never been touched since 3 years that I shipped the vehicle to Nigeria. While driving a few days ago, I accidentally knocked an object which made the radiator and fan to shift.

In trying to fix back the radiator, the mechanic had to lose a hose (or tube) which carried transmission oil and some of the transmission oil spilled, and the oil became short. The mechanic toped the transmission oil with this oil (as shown in the picture) and I asked him if this oil will not affect the transmission in future and he assured me it will not. After I drove back home my mind no gree settle. I'm really worried if this transmission oil is good enough.

1. Change mechanic. 2. Find the nearest competent Mech and flush out your gear oil. 3. Buy Toyota T-IV and do a full oil change. May be up to 5ltrs. Original oil o!!!


Good luck. Cc Gazzuzz

I saw it, but didn't know which way to advice.

The clown that put the wrong oil, would he be competent enough to safely do an oil drain? Yes his transmission is contaminated now, but it's like 25per contamination, it will not kill the transmission suddenly, but imagine same clown contaminating the entire system in the name of flushing and you now have an undrivable vehicle due to a contaminated valve body. Sometime better to just leave the sin as it is .

Does the speedometer work when it starts behaving like that? If it does not work. Does the gear select properly when it starts fluctuating? Does the BRAKE light on the dashboard come on when it starts?
Speedometer works fine and gear select normal and no brake light on dashboard

In my resolve and determination not to lose the gear box, I read through the car manual and and found out that the transmission oil part number is Toyota Genuine ATF WS as shown in the picture bellow. I also came across this video on youtube describing the process of flushing transmission oil.
My question is how do I get Toyota Genuine ATF WS

The solution has been prescribed to you (drain, flush and refill using factory spec).
The only concern is if that operation will be performed by ya current mokalik

I will not touch that mokalik even with a long pole.

My issue is that, how do I get a genuine transmission oil for Toyota corolla.

Reverse gear of 2012 AWD highlander failed, no error codes using toyota techstream diagnostics, oil level is ok. Started without warning, car was sluggish in reverse, then stopped moving at all in reverse gear. The gearbox was changed some months back.

What could be the issue

I actually want to find out, if front axle that was leaking oil could have affected the transmission, though it never dried up or ceased to my knowledge.

Wonder why it also didn't bring up any codes.

Thanks for the response.
