Sorry but tow it to a dealershipI have a fj cruiser and accidently drained tranny fluid doing an oil change how do you add or service?
ray a is right...there is no dipstick--the WS is world standard fluid


and there is a special tool and a procedure to get the level just right at operating temperature. you can buy the fluid from the dealer, but the filler plug is in a tough spot and is awkward even with the correct pump. You are not the first to do this so don't feel bad, but getting the fluid level wrong can cause a shifting problem, so would be best to tow to the dealer.
your trans uses WS fluid. it doesnt have a dipstick on it. there is a procedure to follow regarding filling it. the trans gets filled a certain amount, then at a certain temp it gets plugged off.





dont risk your transmission.





Get a flatbed to tow it to the dealership and pay them to fix it. really. it may cost a couple hundred. but its way cheaper than a new transmission.
The FJ Cruiser does NOT have a transmission dipstick. You


need to check the fluid level by removing the top plug on the


transmission and that is also where you fill it. The level should


be just below the plug hole.
It it was an automatic tranny, you add it through the tranny dip stick.





If it is a stick shift, you have to find the filler BOLT few inches above the drain bolt you removed. You fill it using a long funnel and pour it from the top or a oil pump from the bottom.








good Luck...
Is it a manual or auto? Manual is filled though the fill plug on the LH side and is easier with a fluid pump. Mine is a manual so I don't know where the fill plug is on the auto.
