A 2006 Tocoma does't have a dip stick - Cars & Trucks

Rudy - If you want good answers we need to know what we are dealing with ?
That is why we ask you questions so that we get the full picture of what sort of vehicle you have ?
It may not have a dip stick but it might have a dipstick that is now on the road somewhere or was pulled out by a mechanic and was not put back into the tube where it should be sitting in ?
And if that was the case it might have something to do with why your transmission might be low on fluid

I have seen a car that had the oil cap not screwed into the engine when I noticed smoke from the oil spray coming out of the engine and burning on the manifold.
Luckily the cap was still in the engine bay rather than on the road somewhere. But this does happen where an important part can be missing !
A photo of the back of the engine bay would help as well .

Other Fixya users with the extra information can also be more likely or able to answer your question with more information to go on..

You remove the fill plug and check the level

it pops back>? that it? (coming out?) leaking fluid? that?
inserted wrong, ?
some need to be inserted correctly or they jam up inside.
true for many sticks, no round.
flat blade sticks,
or damaged dip tube.

The newer power plants do not have a dip stick for checking oil level. Oil level is checked by either the I-drive or by using the BC stalk.

there isnt one on the cobalt theres a drain plug behind the passenger tire and a red fill cap on the top of the tranny, retarded isnt it?

Same as in the bottle when new.

THE DIPSTICK WAS ELIMINATED AND TUBE WAS CAPPED OFF..DEALER HAS SERVICE DIPSTICK TO CHECK FLUID LEVEL..A TRANS SERVICE SHOP MAY ALSO HAVE THIS TOOL
