Q: Is there transmission fluid on a 2006 toyota tacoma prerunner v6?
I HAVE HEARD THAT THERE ISNT ANY TRANNY FLUID IN ANY MODEL AFTER 2005 I THINK IT WAS . I AM NOT A MECHANIC OR ANYTHING SO I DONT KNO WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND I DONT SEE A DIPSTICK FOR IT. THANKS zACH

A: Zach - if it's automatic, it has fluid, but may not have a dipstick, because manufacturers are trending away from backyard mechanics and quick lube centers from servicing auto transmissions, it does have an internal sensor to sense the oil level. Manual transmission has a check plug on the side of the transmission to check oil level. The oil level of a manual should be at or just below the level of that plug.

A: the only benefit there is to going to a dealer is they have a record of when it was done,you don't have to do that though if you,ll keep good records of when you have it changed,dealers have people believing that if you don't have the oil changed at their shop that the warranty wont be no good or the car wont do like it should and most people believe this,any shop can do an oil change just make sure you write it down in the owners manual ,there's a section in it fo keeping track of when you do maintenance on a vehicle,good luck.

Q: reseting the maintenance required lamp on a 2006 toyota tacoma pickup?
at 5000 miles, the maintenance required lamp comes on to advise that an oil change is to be done as well as some other minor maintenance. The maintenance schedule book says to reset the MRQ. HOW?

A: not absolutely possitive but on a 06 highlander you have the key off. then push in the trip button and hold it. While holding it in, turn the key forward to on (not start) wait about 5-10 seconds and the light should go out and odometer will read 000000 for a second. Hope it works.
