I do remember when I do this, I bought a new filter. Shouldn't they put in a new filter in? And to do so, they need to open the pan for sure.

My point was I paid $199, 2-3 years ago for this service. There is no way, at least where I live, that this is now $450 at my dealership. That just seems absorb.

Toyota labels this part "valve body oil strainer". It's not like an engine oil filter. It's a fine screen and I don't change it. To my knowledge, Toyota doesn't recommend replacing it. I would inspect the screen if and only if the transmission is known to have an issue.

If I screw it up then I pay.
Watched a few you tube vids on this, everyone seemed to do it differently,
Plus I did not want to buy the needed tools to use once.

Labor $199 Parts $222 8qts 18.99each Trans service $70 $422 total. Plus tax 23.21 $445.02
Did this about a year ago
Toyota dealer charged me about $8 bucks a quart for the WS fluid.
I bought 12 of them with plans of doing it myself.
The parts guy then told me that if you buy the parts from them they will install them for a 25% discount.
Sure enough they wanted $95 bucks to do the fluid exchange, not a flush
Really is a no brainer, they did it.

there are couple contaminants in trans fluid:
steel dust from metal gears, fiber dust from plates, bronze dust from synchronizers - all of them go thru strainer freely. Only steel particles stuck on magnets; fibers and bronze actually good. Main reason to remove pan is to clean magnets from steel shavings that not need for normal operation. strainer need to stop some really big shavings (from break-in) or contaminants, that may clog valves and passages of transmission.

So, just to clarify. The dealer is charged upwards of $400 for a transmission service and not dropping the pan to change the filter? I suppose that would be ok for lower mileage vehicles, but I'd personally want my filter changed if I were getting new fluid. I think i'll DIY a drain and fill for my own 4Runner, so I can change the filter to a fresh one and check the level using the proper procedure.
