While changing my oil, a friend mistakenly drained the transmission fluid instead, not noting how much was drained. So now I had to buy the Toyota T-IV transmission fluid and added about 1.5 qts of it already, and it’s up to the “cold” notch on the dipstick (I added when the engine was cold). Is this the correct procedure? Shouldn’t it be more than 1.5 qts? Should I just add up to the 3 qts that i’ve heard people do when doing a a drain/refill, or should i just leave it at 1.5 qts? Also should is it ok to check when cold, or should i warm it up first and then check? Your help is appreciated.
ok thank you very much. the dipstick shows a different level when checking while idling in park. a follow-up question: with the engine warmed up, is the fluid supposed to reach the “hot” notch on the dipstick? or should it be ok if it’s in between the “cold” and “hot” notches?
i’ve added roughly 3 qts so far

For at least 10 minutes and shift from drive to neutral to neutral to neutral to determine the correct level add the car for at least 10 minutes and shift from drive to.
The fill line then just add half quart repeat this process until it is ok for now but make sure that your engine is running before.

yes, do the above, just a warning if you’re doing it your first time, add little by little by little…even in 1/4 quarts increments or less if you have to. and yes, make sure the car is running when you check the level.
