6speed oil change
 

Hello Guys Decided to change gear box oil to synthetic. Shifting was ok but synthetic will usually improve it. a few comets on the job.Take care when you remove the drain plug.It comes out at speed.Leaving the filler plug in may help. Only a little sludge on the magnet and nothing came out with the oil but the oil was pretty dirty looking.Car has 47k on it. I would have to say Toyota recommendation to not change it is somewhat suspect. And yes the shifting is much improved with the new oil. Cheers sandy in Nelson NZ

Title reads 'Six Speed Oil Change', I was expecting the following:

1. Slowly raise the car.
2. Gently undo gubbins
3. Swiftly undo plug.
4. Oil gushes out.
5. Race to grab oil catch can.
6. Oil slows down as oil catch can is placed under the drain.
