In today's video I will show you step-by-step how to change the automatic transmission fluid (ATF) on a 2004 Toyota Sequoia. The process is same for any 2001-04 Toyota Sequoia (2WD) or a 2000-04 Toyota Tundra (2WD).

The process is different for 2005+ models as those do not come with a dipstick, and use a different type of transmission fluid. As a result, this video is not applicable to those model years.
