I have a 2002 /3rd generation 4runner and I'd like to know:
how to drain the automatic gearbox?
at what frequence?
what oil can be used?
can I do it by myself?

Just find the transmission pan underneath the vehicle & you'll see a drain plug. You'll need I think a 14mm wrench & a drain pan to catch the fluid & you'll need to get 4L of Dextron III ATF. To refill it look under the hood & you will find another dipstick near the passenger side firewall pull the dipstick out & fill the ATF in there. Make sure to get a funnel & fill it gradually check the dipstick every time you put a litre in to check the fluid it's pretty easy. :thumb3:

Thank you very much dr HOOK
I have another question about the gearbox. Do I have to change the filter when draining?
If so where is it located and How can I do that? which type of filter do I need and Where can I find it?
