1st of all the term is Transmission Fluid and 2ndly the transmission does not have a cap. The cap that you are incorrectly referring to is actually the stick you use to monitor the levels of the fluid and its housing is the mechanism you utilize to add transmission fluid if needed. Since you don't know, obviously the vehicle must be running when checking the fluid. The oil cap will say or state oil, however the transmission stick will not. hope I've been some help to you. Good luck.

What type of oil should I use in my 2006 Toyota tacoma 10w?

Look first in your owner's manual...hardly any car or truck today uses a 10w oil, and for some engines, the grade is critical to performance. If all else fails, look at the oil fill cap...many times the recommended grade is written right on them.


How to change the oil filter in a 2013 dodge dart?

1. Use 27mm socket and take off oil filter cap. Pull oil filter out. 2. Use 13mm socket and take out the oil plug. (7mm socket to take out small bolt holding the oil drain plug door in place). 3. Replace ring on oil filter cap with new one. Put oil filter inside cap (should snap in and hold in place) smooth end of filter down. Fresh oil around new ring then insert filter and cap. Tighten oil filter cap and torque at 25Nm or 19 lbs. 4. Replace oil drain plug bolt. Not sure on torque, just hand tighten (don't strip). 5. Fill with 5w40 Pennzoil Euro Type oil (a must as oil tolerances are tight and turbo uses engine oil to cool) 4 quarts. 6. Start vehicle for a few seconds to allow oil to work through oil filter. Turn off and check dip stick and for any leaks.

How can you tell from motor oil to transmission oil leaking in the radiator?

there's no way gearbox oil/transmission oil can get in the radiator... only the engine oil can. this usually will happen if the cylinder head is cracked or the cylinder head gasket has failed. However, Transmission fluid can get into your coolant, by means of a corroded internal transmission cooling line, which is inside the radiator of many model automobiles and trucks... it will look somewhat like pepto bismol at the cap..
