The GX is worse. You have to run it at a specific temperature, then open the check plug and it should be a small stream
What in the world is a small stream? If it's empty, you add a quart and run the process again.
Oh and doing this all is within inches of the hot exhaust.
So stupid.
I'm honestly not impressed with Toyota transmission, I helped a cousin put a cooler on his Sequoia because it pretty much ran 200F empty. My 3/4 ton has occasionally hit that temp, but it was pulling a 7k load up a mountain pass in triple digit heat.
I would be surprised if many sequoias last very long as tow vehicles. It would only cost $150 to install the tundra transmission cooler from the factory (that's all we did), and the temps became reasonable again.

Honestly, I'm not sure I'd trust the dealership. While it is true an overfilled transmission isn't good, it rarely
