My transmission (Sienna 2004) is acting a little strange lately (277k miles.. I had it done at a dealership about 50k ago, after I first got the vehicle), so my best bet is to have a transmission fluid drain and fill done. I have 2 left hands when it comes to DIY and cars, so I want to have it...

Hi all, This is a tricky one. A couple of months ago, we started noticing that the brake pedal needs to be pumped once or twice to get a good braking performance. Also, if continuing to push the pedal, it keeps falling all the way to the floor. Here's what I tried so far: 1) I bled the...

Hi everyone, I have a 08 sienna and need to top off the brake fluid; it says on the cover to use DOT 3 brake fluid from a sealed container. I was considering buying the Prestone (the yellow bottle) , it says high temp/synthetic. I don't remember seeing a non synthetic one. will it be ok to use...

Hello -My first post! I am considering purchase of a '12 XLE with 60K miles from a private party. This is a one-owner van serviced at the dealer. Except..... the owner took it to an "oil changer" shop sometimes, and the Carfax shows "Transmission Fluid Changed" at 21K and 48K. This concerns...

I did a drain and fill today on the automatic transmission on my 2010 Sienna LE. Funny thing is I drained out nearly 5 quarts from the drain plug, and the manual said I'd get something like 3.7 quarts. Others on the board here have said 4 quarts is about normal. When I checked the dipstick...

I'm not sure what year Toyota discontinued this indicator but find it crazy. I know most of these 3rd gen vans you can see enough of the reservoir but not on mine.

First post but long time Toyota owner. My 2006 Sienna was driving fine until parked at Canadian Tire. I came out of the store, started it up and put it in gear and nothing happened (no forward or reverse). Popped the hood and could see transmission fluid coming out of small hose near the...

I will be doing the brakes on my 2011 Toyota Sienna wanted to go with cross drilled rotors what type of pads should I get ceramic or some other type. What type of brake fluid should I get to do the flush do I need oem? Thanks.

Hi, My passenger side CV assembly has started clicking, so i went down there to check it out and found this. It is dripping down from somewhere and dripping to the ground where the transmission meets the drive axles. My coolant is green, im unsure what this fluid is. it is viscous. I am...

I recently purchased a 2000 Sienna with 175K miles to use as an extra vehicle. It runs and drives great. The issue is the transmission fluid. I checked back with the previous owner to see if he had the fluid changed. He bought the vehicle with 105K miles on it and has not had the fluid...

So I want to do a brake bleed, and unfortunately I bought a ton of DOT 4 fluid, because of the German cars that I had. Now those cars are gone and I am left with this excess DOT 4 fluid. My question is Can I use the DOT 4 brake fluid in the Van instead of the factory recommended DOT 3 fluid...

We just bought a 2013 Sienna LE. After it was back to the dealer to correct some cosmetic issues, I wanted to check all the fluid levels. Needless to say, I can't find an auto transmission dipstick. In reviewing the owner's manual, there's no depiction of where the dipstick would be, or if...

Greetings, i recently changed both axles on my Sienna and in the process noticed that my aft was very black. I decided that although Toyota says it's not necessary to change, I didn't like its color so I changed it. I did not know at the time about the WS fluid require for 07 and newer and used...

Is it the WS or T-IV?

Is it possible to get transmission fluid coming from the inner axle boot? Driver side. I have a dark runny fluid coming from the inner axle boot on my 2006 Sienna. 75k miles. It's too dark to tell if its the purple fluid from the transmission. I'm guessing its because its mixing with CV...

Ok, so I have a 2008 Sienna with 98,000 miles on it. I bought it with 21,000 miles on it from a dealer. We have never changed the tranmission fluid in this car. The dealer said it would be $280 to do a fluid exchange. I confirmed that they are only exchaning fluid using the machine because...

Hello guys! I need your advice: I own Sienna 1998 (VIN WUO21575) and after front driver`s side CV Axle and Seal replacement transmission fluid is leaking from the place where Axle goes into Differential. What could be the reason of that problem? Thanks!

Ok, so I'm new at this...I mean really NEW. I bought this 04 Siena Le 2wd for my newly increased family. The van has about 105k so I checked the transmission fluid...dark brown - so I thought its time for drain and replace. I looked online and I found a guy who explains this procedure step by...

I noticed my 2003 Sienna (over 230K miles) was having transmission problems. At first, it would stall when put in reverse. I noticed some chugging driving on inclines. I had the fluid changed and almost immediately the fluid was gray again. It stalls when I put it in gear now. It won't move at...

I saw what looks like a bit of yellow fluid in the snow where my wife's 2008 Sienna was parked. What would it be for? If my eyes were fooling me and it was green, then what would it be? Thanks, Sean
