No...you are wrong Mike. As you start the car, the oil from the torque converter gets pumped out through the oil cooler and out through the pipe you have connected. I have just done this, and the first 4 litres or so of oil is black and dirty. As you top up the box with new fluid, it eventually runs clean out of the oil cooler outlet.

Massive amounts of thanks for your advice. I have just bought a cheap C70 2.0lpt 03 105,000 full service history with problems Knew about- stood for 6 months, flat battery fitted new now though, loads of travel on a spongy brake pedal and I knew the gearbox was a bit iffy but, after picking it up I noticed the gearbox is loads worse after driving it for longer.The box wont change when it is supposed to, it changes when its not supposed to, I can feel engine braking on slowing down from about 40mph(is that normal?). It is also hesitant selecting into drive from neutral or park 2/3 seconds sometimes, oh yes with a clunk. I know that I need to replace top engine mount for definate. I spoke to a volvo specialist in Bristol today and I requested software update and gearbox flush. then go from there. some people have said on here that a flush can dislodge crap and gunk that will make it float into the running of the gearbox and do it no good at all. The way you described changing the oil sounds so much better and I can do it myself, would you advise on a software update just so that everything is updated anyway, also with the battery being so flat? Is there any cheating ways of getting the oil in the box quicker i remember that being a pain(especially with a broken wrist at the mo
I would appreciate any advice you can give me on this matter Cheers simon |

Simon, the only way to introduce the new fluid to the box is via the dipstick tube for the autobox DO NOT be tempted to release the large bolt on the top of the autobox that might look like a filler port, it isn't this bolt secures the clutch band for third gear and if the bolt is taken out the band drops down inside the box making an easy job rather more difficult and very costly if you employ a swear box!!
Just make sure you only use JWS3309 spec fluid and a series of sump dumps with about 500 miles between them should clean it up, bargain on 3,5 to 4,0 Litres of fluid for each sump dump, when checking the fluid level remember there is only 200ML of fluid between low and full on the hot side of the dipstick so add fluid in small amounts - Mike |

cheers mike really appreciate your response. I'm not challenging your knowledge in any way shape or form, whats your opinion on using the toyota I-tv oil, have you tried it. I have read on some threads that people have used it after using amsoil and they didn't have any problems but they have noticed it is not as smooth.
The quote that I got from the v specialists was £120 for box flush, oil change and software update, thats got to be wrong hasn't it? |

Toyota Type iv (type 4) oil is JWS 3309, so if it is either JWS3309 or Toyota Type iv then it is good enough for the box.
