ATF Temp Range '19 ES350
- Thread starter Gebo
- Start date
For Toyotas its normally 104
the range is 95-113F for the 8 speed AT, I always chose the midpoint and quickly check the level and as soon as it starts to trickle, I close the drain plug (inspection plug)
my toyota 6 speed AT temp range is 104-113F.
"normally" bad reply.
Anyone please do the research thoroughly 1st, you can't go by someone guessing.
google your year make and model and look for the transmission fluid range.
searching "toyota 8 speed transmission filter change temperature range" in google shows the range to be 95-113F and you need to check with the vehicle running.
How to change your Toyota Sealed Transmission Fluid you can use this video as a reference if you like.
I thank you. I do have a Scan Gauge. My hardest issue is getting the car level with it high enough to crawl under. LOL
Do you have a ScanGauge or a ScanGuage II?
I ask because I had an early ScanGauge (it has since died) and I do not recall it having a transmission fluid temperature readout.
NOTE: My ScanGauge's plug came with exposed wiring going into the cable. It was unfinished, to say the least.
I contacted ScanGauge and they said they were sorry and if I sent it in, they'd install a proper, strain-relieved plug.
I did. I heard nothing from them.
It was a bear getting ahold of someone but finally did.
They said they'd have to look around for it.
They found mine. I had put a name label on it.
I was kind of not impressed and wondered if they were just a warehouse which shipped out some product they brought in.
Its 104.
The range is to be 95-113F
I've measured and its only 4 oz between 95-113F

ScanGauge II - this one definitely works for Toyota/Lexus transmission temperatures, you just have to deal with entering the correct codes for your transmission in the scangauge once.
you can test anywhere between the range of 95-113F, since I am using ScanGauge an aftermarket product, I prefer to be in the middle of the that range in order to eliminate any errors that might exist because I am not using Toyota Tech stream.
I suppose I could go to their website but I'll ask you now....
Was there a list of "every car brand" from which to choose these codes?
We have a 2019 MazdaCX-5, a 2007 Volvo V70, a 2015 Volvo XC70...I doubt the 2005 Ford anger has a transmission temperature sensor.
Thanks

It’s the one that checks atf temp. I’ve used it before. Good point.
That explains my different temps. Some were quoting minimum and some in the middle of the range.
That’s good to know. Thanks!
Yes, just to be on the safe side, go to their website and confirm they have the codes or it would work for your vehicles.
Needs to be in idle speed control mode in order to set the level correctly. Be sure to follow those instructions.
can you explain what this means? and is this for the Toyota 6 or 8-speed AT without dipstick or both?
I have never had to do "idle speed control mode" on any of my Toyota 6 speed AT in the Avalon or ES350
to check the level I have had to do the following:
1) make sure the vehicle is leveled - I use a one of these in the Husky brand - I would put it in the middle of the car and jack up the rear jack point until I got it perfectly level (as close as possible)
2) Toyota 6 speed AT temp range is 104-113F - I would use ScanGauge II and then wait until the midpoint of the range was reached (107 to 108) and put the transmission in park while the vehicle was still running.
3) then open the inspection plug and wait till the fluid would start trickling and immediately close it and torque it to spec (30 Ft*lbs)
My source for the above procedure were two Toyota Techs, including the carcarenut

Most of the newer models have this function - check on page 15. The fluid level changes based on engine rpm due to the turbulence. Since the fluid level is generally being adjusted shortly after a cold start, the cold start idle tends to be higher than a hot idle, which can cause an incorrect fluid level reading. The fluid level adjustment mode lowers the rpm to a pre-set range.
