Re: Changing CVT fluid
So I have a question.
I was doing oil change on my 2012 HiHy and noticed that there is a hex plug in the very transmission belly bottom. Not on the side, as circled, right dead smack in the center of the housing flat bottom area. It's in the middle of rectangular :door" bolted to the housing and appears to be the lopwermost part of housing.
Yet, there is also a "drain" plug as described in the OP post.
So my question is - which one actually drain plug? As one I am inquiring about IS the lowest transmission housing point.

Re: Changing CVT fluid
I just got mine done today at my friend’s shop. I have 40,000km on the odometer. If you don’t mind spending a little more for a fully synthetic fluid, Eneos Import ATF Model T-W is compatible with Toyota ATF-WS. Toyota Fluid is only semi-synthetic.
