Toyota 4Runner Automatic vs Manual Transmission

Automatic and manual transmission will usually require a variety of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are typically thinner and are usually red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more stout and thicker due to additives and other vital compounds integral to lubricate the gearbox and other components. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is vastly different.

Not only are the fluids different between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids experience is very different. Automatic transmissions generate ample heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more normally. If you don't change your Toyota 4Runner transmission fluid, your transmission will have hazardous broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the critical parts of your Toyota 4Runner. You should normally check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be exceptionally difficult to do. Call or visit Stevinson Toyota West for more advice if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
