Hi,
I'm looking for advice about how to correctly flush ATF in my Toyota Rush.
Reading the tech manual I see that total oil capacity is 4.6 liters but after removing the drain plug only 1.5 liter are flushed.
Searching about how to perform a complete fluid replacement I found this Amsoil bulletin:
http://www.amsoil.com/faqs/ATF_and_Filter_Change_Procedures.pdf
I also read that many user follow a more easy way by flushing and refill the oil pan 2~4 times to allow a near complete fluid replacement.
Using the tecnique above, to mix the new and old oil before doing a reflush it's enough to turn on the engine and while parked shift the lever to P,R,1,2 etc. or to allow a complete mix, I must drive the car for some time than stop and flush ?
Using the tecnique above, to mix the new and old oil before doing a reflush is starting the engine on and while parked shifting the lever to P,R,1,2 etc. enough or to allow a complete fluid mix, I must drive the car for some time than stop and flush ?
About what's oil type to use, my car require a Dexron III fluid type.
Here I can find the Royal Purple MAX ATF or the Castrol TQ Dexron III. Which one do you rate the better ?
Thanking in advance for any advice!
Mario
