Transmission Fill Plug?

Going to do a drain and fill for my 2016 SR5 and just in case I strip that fill plug I want a backup.
It is the fill plug at the top and not any of the drain plugs.
The local dealerships said it was 90080-34016 and the o ring 90090-30075......those weren't it! I know because it looks different.
I'm assuming it's 90341-A0001 and o ring is 90301-11030. Thing is the transmission fill plug looks like the plugs on the transfer case or am I wrong?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

90301-15004 Is fill plug gasket.

90341-18059 appears correct based on parts diagram.

If first time opening, spray it down good with penetrating fluid and wait 5 mins. Use 15/16”, it’s a little tighter than 24mm. If it feels like you are going to round it spray more penetrating fluid and wait.

No. That's not it and neither is the one from the other thread. Those seems to be the check plug or drain plug.
The plug is very flat and it's body is hollow.
The oem plug has a WS on the head.
Thanks for the reply.
 
The ebay one is it but it's been sold and cannot find it anywhere.
It does have the WS on it.
When I Google that part# one website shows a pic of the check plug and the other ten websites shows no pics which means I'm not buying it from that site.
Either I'm not bright enough to search for things online anymore or the internet gods are screwing around with me.

Yup. That's it. The critter on the left along with it's o ring.
Ya got a part# or something?
Maybe a link to one for sale because apparently I'm not bright enough to find it.

Man that part number is all messed up. It pulls up two different plugs. The correct one and the incorrect one. I would call your local dealer and have them check the part number. It must be superseded a while back or something.

I've called two dealers in my area and both have given me the wrong info.
At $3-$4 a piece I think I'll just buy both.

Please do and provide pics.

Although, you really shouldn’t need it. If I could remove the never removed exhaust manifold bolts from my 1993 dodge d250 w/ cast iron head and manifold after 30 years and 200k miles without any rounding or shearing, you can do it on your like new transmission fill plug.

This fill plug actually calls for a shallow socket because the hex head is so short. This reduces the chances of slipping off. I’d wager that people who rounded were not using a short socket and allowed the torque to result in side load and socket pushing off the head.

This. Shallow quality socket and breaker bar. I was prepared for a real struggle, it was actually easy. Now the front diff hex socket was a totally different story. Had to air hammer it out after I snapped 3 hex sockets.

The next time you change the front diff fluid get a Lexus 90341-24016 front diff drain plug (at Lexus dealer or Lexus online) to replace the Toyota 90341-24014. The Lexus part is the same except it has a hex bolt head instead of the allen.
 
This is a very easy DIY job . Suggest a scanner to monitor transmission temp. The fill plug is unlikely to need replacing. Have gaskets for the bottom plugs.

I used a Motive Products pump to fill.

I used a torque wrench to tighten things up.

It seems like a more difficult job than it really is. But once you take a little time to understand the system , it is really a simple process ( albeit perhaps a little messy).
 
Ordered the plug 90341-18059 from Toyotapartsdeal.com and it was correct.
Just for future reference if anyone has to order a new fill plug on their website the first pic they have is wrong!
The first pic is the check plug and the second pic is the transmission fill plug with WS on it.
I rolled the dice and they sent the right one.
If y'all want an affordable scanner that reads the transmission temperature, I bought the Ancel fx2000 for $140ish.
Hope this helps.

Where’s my apology? :drama:

Now, do the job and don’t be a monkey, use the correct tool, have patience, and you can put that replacement plug in your parts bin for the next 20 years or until you’ve sold the car or forgot about it. :rolleyes:
