Yes there is a difference. Automatic transmissions use a fluid called automatic transmission fluid commonly known as ATF. While Manual Transmission use a gear type oil generally around 75w-90.
Our celica take ATF Dexron II or III. Dry (w/o differential fluid) 5.6L (5.9 quarts) Drain & Refill (w/o differential fluid) 2.5L (2.6 quarts) Hope that helps! Cheers! --------------------  |

Easy to drain, a pain to fill. I know there is some info on here about that. I did it about a year ago.

Two plugs sorta in the back off the diff. Use ATF for sure. I think I just drained mine and then filled it til it almost poured out which is roughly the amount it calls for. I would do it, the filter and the trany itself all in one deal.

My Old Post Here is a PIC Ok, use those two threads and you'll be fine. And yeah, if your doing the diff you might as well do the whole thing in one shot. Trans refill/Diff refill and of course filter. |

I can do the diff separately? edit: ok im reading the service manual and how it says "Both transmission and differential plugs must be removed to drain all fluid from both units."....does this mean I have to drain it again?....good grief.
