Gearbox oil change 1.4 D4D

[MAB D4D]

Hi Can anyone help with the capacity of the 1.4 D4D gearbox, I was expecting to put in 2L,  but drained out 2.5L, this is it's first change so guess Toyota put in 2.5? Cheers Mark.

There are 2 holes in the transmission. One is bottom, one is on the side, which is also called inspection hole.

You put enough oil so that it start leaking out of inspection hole. I'd rather put 2.5 than 2l anyway, as once in motion, transmission throws it all over the walls anyway.

You can check your owners manual, it should contain info about oil capacity if you want to be sure, or just use the method i wrote above.

Thanks, front of car was jacked up so didn't want to trust over flow hole. But you're  right need to get car level and see how much i can get in. Thanks for quick reply. Mark.

I changed the gearbox oil in my 1.4 D4D yarises during the years and I never needed any more than 2L of oil. It usually takes 1.8L ish.

 

Be careful with the amount of oil you put in the gearbox, most gearbox failure arise from wrong oil level. I would put as much as it takes till oil starts overflowing from the inspection hole.

Thanks, got just under 2L in, not sure how it got filled to 2.5L, know the history from new and previous owner only ever took to main dealer for service!
