How do you check and add transmission fluid on a 2006 Toyota 4Runner?

Answer 1

If it's automatic: Look in your owners manual and look for the location of the transmission dipstick and filling location. Most of the time the dipstick and filling locations for an automatic transmission are fairly accessible (near the top of the engine). To check: pull out the transmission dipstick and look at the level. There should be markings or words saying "Add" or "Fill". Also note there may be instructions for determining the level if the transmission is hot or cold (if you've just driven it or not). Then when you've determined the level, add at the appropriate area, check as needed. If manual, Same thing, except manual fluid usually doesnt need changing unless you wanna be on the safe side and exchange every 30K miles. Follow instructions as automatic but note that manual fluid runs fairly cool so you may not have to deal with the hot and cold issues.
