Automatic Transmission Fluid Level
2006 Toyota - Am I supposed to check the fluid level with the motor running or off? I assumed off, but someone told me today the motor should be running. Thanks for any help, Brad

Well, at least you can check it. On my brothers 2010 Tundra there is no way to check the trans fluid yourself. Yup, it is a dealer only item. There is no dipstick for the trans. We checked with Toyota and they confirmed it. Just another way for the OEM to force you to their shop even for the most mundane maintenance issue.
On another note, on our RAM diesel the truck MUST be in neutral to properly check the trans fluid level. Checking it in park will give a false reading.
Cheers All!
