Then I see Timmy mentions it on his video too that toyota has a typo. I'm furious. I did this service before but that was like 50k ago and I didn't have the FSM back then. I was using Haynes and youtube. So now I'm afraid to re-do this in a few thousand miles when i inevitably do drain and fill #2. It's a corner bolt too. Right now I have the Beck Arnley kit on there because I don't want to chip away FIPG again, but I'll do toyota FIPG at the 3rd and final fill.



Also found a loose heat shield at the 02 sensor like i suspected so I bolted that up. So who knows if the rattling was the tranny or the heat shield. Magnets showed what I expected for 50k service (my next date was at 212k miles and right now i'm just shy of 209k so it's about right).



What do i do about this bolt? Part of me thinks just fill over it with FIPG once I'm ready for the third fill.
