Draining and Replacing ATF, and Cleaning ATF StrainerWith the car raised and supported securely on jack stands, place a drain pan of at least 5.6 l (6 US qt.) capacity under the transmission and remove the two rear pan bolts. See Fig. 7-9. Loosen the two front pan bolts, then pull the ATF pan down at the rear and allow as much fluid as possible to drain, then remove the front bolts and remove the pan and gasket. Pour out the fluid remaining in the pan.

Clean the pan and dry it completely. Remove the two screws retaining the strainer and remove the cover and the strainer. The strainer can be cleaned if it is dirty or clogged. Replace a damaged strainer or one that cannot be thoroughly cleaned. Remount the strainer using a new gasket. Torque the screws to 4 Nm (35 in. lb.). Using a new gasket without any sealer, install the ATF pan. Working diagonally, tighten the pan bolts to 20 Nm (15 ft. lb.). Refill the transmission with fluid according to the type and amount specified in 3. Fluid and Lubricant Specifications. Then check the fluid level as described above.
