Here's why:
* Improper procedures can lead to damage: Adding the wrong type of fluid, overfilling, or not checking the fluid level properly can cause serious damage to your transmission.
* Safety risks: Working with fluids under pressure can be hazardous. You may risk burns or injury if you are not familiar with the procedures.
Instead of attempting the work yourself, I strongly recommend you:
1. Consult your owner's manual: Your owner's manual provides detailed instructions and diagrams specific to your car model.
2. Find a reputable mechanic: A qualified mechanic has the experience and tools to safely check and add transmission fluid.
3. Search for online resources: Websites like the Toyota Owner's website or other automotive forums can provide detailed information about transmission fluid changes for your specific model.
Remember, your safety is the priority. Don't hesitate to seek professional help if you're unsure about any car maintenance tasks.
