I have 50k miles on my 2013. Just changed the oil myself. Pulled out of the driveway only to have my tranny slip in first gear. I can’t figure out how to check the fluid. Anyone know? Here I am sitting on the side of the road. Thanks

1st gear meaning manual?
 
It’s automatic. I had some “help” while changing my oil. I screwed up and drained 3.5 qts of tranny fluid instead. Dope!
There was some good info posted to my original question. Thanks
Did you get it all filled and running ok?
 
Don’t drain the transmission and add oil to the engine. You’ll be slipping gears and blowing seals.

Ha. That’s what I did. Couldn’t figure out why I had so much oil in there. Thankfully I only drove 1 mile when I realized what I had done.
 
The kind of thing you’ll only do once... hopefully.

Hopefully! My wife had invited friends over and I was a little distracted and in a hurry. And that darn tranny pan sticks out just begging to be drained. I drive a lot of miles. So it saves me a lot of time and money to do my own maintenance. 412k miles out of a 4Runner. Just got in a hurry. No excuses. Doesn’t appear to have done any harm. I’ve driven a few hundred miles on it since then. Pulling a trailer.
