I recently performed two 4 quarts each drain and fills of the transmission using Toyota Type IV ATF.

I was going to check in with the local Toyota dealer on their price for the oil. You can use type T if you want and may even gain some benefit over DIII but the 3 - 4qt. This price appears decent for 5 qts.

This video shows you the location of your oil drain plug oil filter oil fill cap and dipstick in addition to the steps needed to change the oil and filter in your Tundra. The synthetic fluids do break down over time just as any other fluid. If your Tundra is too low to the ground to access your drain.

Price was high enough to cause me to just spring for Mobil 1 Dextron III full synthetic at 5 - 6qt. Then replace the drain plug. Toyota wants to sell you a new transmission when your vehicle is out of warranty.

Prior to this the fluid had never been changed. I was unsure of wether to change the fluid or at least do a drain and fill. Dealers are a different matter because they make money on the fluid changes.

To change Your transmission fluid first park Your Tundra on level ground. The average price of a 2001 Toyota Tundra Access Cab transmission fluid change can vary depending on location. I have had 5 Tundras and have run them all to 100K or more.
