Additional Notes
- The Toyota Optima / Coaster carries a dry fill capacity of 13 liters for the automatic transmission across both the 1997-1999 and 1999-2006 configurations. A dry fill figure represents the total fluid volume required when filling a completely empty transmission, such as after a full overhaul or unit replacement.
- The service fill capacity is listed at 6 liters for both the 1997-1999 and 1999-2006 configurations. A service fill reflects only the volume displaced during a routine fluid drain, which is typically a partial exchange rather than a complete system flush.
- The gap between the 13-liter dry fill and the 6-liter service fill indicates that roughly half the total fluid volume remains in the torque converter and transmission passages during a standard drain procedure. Technicians working from a service fill figure are accounting for this retained volume.
- Both configurations are designated under normal use conditions, meaning the listed 6-liter service fill interval applies to standard operating environments rather than elevated-stress or severe-duty cycles.
