That was the best how to video I've seen. Straight to the point, all details thoroughly explained, excellent video quality, editing and camera work, clear audio and just the right amount of information to explain what and why. Thanks for doing what you do so well.
Exactly! I could give 2 shit how you're week is going or how this is for my hillbilly cousin that can't read! Just get to the point and cut the dam camera when you're removing 20 bolts I really don't want to hear your gossip! I wondered if I was the only one that was irritated with that shit lol.
I was just gonna pull the drain plug and fill up what came out! Now I'm preparing for this whole process. I'll use a floor pump jack, not a car lift. I'll video tape it.
I found a "Low Profile socket set" that had a tiny 10mm at O'Reileys that did the job perfect to get to the hard to get one under the frame. It worked perfect.
Perfect video which explains everything you need to know about a partial Transmission fluid change, gives important information like tightening specs for bolts. Thank you for your professional presentation! 😃
Keep up the great work. You are a hero for the DIY mechanic like me. I didn't go the extra mile to replace the filter as you did since most other videos I watched before this didn't do it. Hoping to keep my 2011 Sienna running for another 8yrs. Only has 130K miles on it now.
Great and very specific video!!!. I did this same on a Highlander 3 years ago. In addition I disconnected the lines from the transmission and and blew all the oil that was on the radiator cooler and on the standalone cooler.
So I’ve done this job watching these nice how to videos in my particular case I live in the rust belt 3 of those 10s that hold the pan on broke and there’s one stubborn 10 mil bolt that I couldn’t get to with any sockets or wrenches had to unbolt the transmission mount 3 17 mil bolts it is and jacked up the transmission managed to get a wrench in there I did the transmission flush at 112 thousand miles it’s first service still runs strong fluid was black 2012 Toyota Camry
great video! Question: so i did it today, i drained 2.25 qts cold, i refilled to 2.5, heated it up to 110 F. but when i did the final drain, i got 1L back, should I be concerened? I put the drain back just before the dribble was apparent, it was a veyr thin slowing stream. Also, boht tires on teh ground, but the driver side was jacked up a few inches as well, please let me know? btw, the shifts were alot softer.
There were blue thread lockers on my 10mm pan bolts. One of the bolts is a PIA, no room for a 1/4" 10mm socket to get in, not like this video which had a little more room. This morning the grinder will be my friend to shorten that socket.
Tremendous video both visually and verbally. Just wondering when a new filter ought to be installed on a Camry if the trans fluid is changed every 60,000 miles.Thanks
Question: After new fluid in (3 Qts.), Do you check final level (dribble out), with engine running?, sounds like it. Sorry if I missed something in Video.
Yes, you want to put the three quarts in, then start it and check/adjust with engine running. Put plug back in, get the fluid warmed up a little, then check again.
GREAT video! Just one question: How do you drain the torque converter? Is it necessary or even possible? The RWD trannies I've changed filters on have a plug on the converter; you have to bump the engine over or wrench it until it's on the bottom & remove it to get all the old fluid out.
@@davidkarmann406 a fluid exchange/flush is the complete option. I have another video showing that th-cam.com/video/iT4hQRG-8lA/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Just did this today and saved myself from buying a new transmission with this video, awesome video and subbed. First time doing it on a 170k transmission.
4mins4peace, I’m sure you could use that beck/arnley if it complies to OEM specs. I went ahead and got the OEM from the dealer…may have been a little bit more, but I’m trying to keep my Venza with original Toyota parts.
Got one that catches in reverse at 2k rpm when its warmed up ive got in in the temp specs mentioned but when i pull the bottom plug fluid is consistently pissing out....could it be that over filled?
Excelent exacution of servicing the yota tranny. The torque specs in text was the cherry on top. well done. i wil do this exact prcedure with the sump filter
You make it look so easy but my potential problem are the transmission pan screws potentially snapping off due to salt over the years. My RX has 200K miles on it and some of those screws would be a nightmare if they break. Scared!
Question: I have a 2012 Lexus RX350 with a CVT trans Car has 181,000 miles, dealer told me never open up trans fluid and never touch it. I wanted to replace Trans Filter, and new Toyota WS trans fluid. Is this a wise thing to do at 181,000 miles ? What can you recommend please?? Thank You
@@stilllearning777 not that urgent. We add larger magnets on the outside of the pan. Easier too. As the fluid circulates, the magnets grab any larger metal particles
There really are magnets? I'm in the middle of doing this to our 2011 Sienna that I thought never had the fluid changed (no records of it from previous, original owner who kept track). I'm first getting to it at 155,000 miles and the fluid was black! Just dropped the pan and there are NO magnets in it! At least this verifies there should be magnets, and that someone possibly serviced the transmission and forgot them. Looks like I'll be doing several fluid changes to get this right (using the proper Toyota Aisin fluid).
Only thing I would have done different is let the oil out first through the drain plug before removing the pan but this is excellent thanks for sharing this vid. I have a lexus ES 350 it's got the exact same engine and should be all the same.
Hello. I have a Toyota Wish K311 CVT transmission, I want to do a complete flush. I don't know what the alternative drain screw would be. To completely drain the 8 liters of oil until it comes out clean
Just changed filter and fluid on 2012 camry. there is one tranny 10mm bolt that was a bear to get out. I ground down a 3/8" 10mm socket to be no longer than 5/8". It did the job, but a 1/4" socket would have been better. took forever. I just read another post below saying O'Reillys sells a low profile socket set. that would have been great.
The video shows more room to get at that 10mm bolt. There is no room on mine even with a 1/4" 10mm socket, not even with a swivel. One guy said he got it out with a 10mm wrench, seriously my wrench had no room to turn. Don't want to jack up the engine, I will sacrifices a 1/4" 10mm socket to get it in this morning. Mine is 2014 V6 Camry with no dipstick, going by temperature. The filter looks different, need to notice if the three bolts are different lengths, on some Toyotas they are. Total PIA!
Not a criticism but more of a question..why not use the drain plug to empty the transmission first and use the dipstick tube to fill it? Wouldn't that be less work?
While the pans off , why not fill it with liquid / or ATF up to the overflow tube then measure - ballpark idea of what the pan holds before overflowing
That would work as a starting point for the initial fluid check, however, transmission fluid has to be checked with the engine running in order to be accurate. When the engine is running, the fluid is circulating throughout the transmission and cooler, which gives a different reading than when it is static.
2012 Camry SE..So my dealership won't touch sealed Transmissions the only thing they'll do is top it off they never mentioned changing a filter. They did mention that Toyota does not recommend changing a lifetime fluid. If it seems I force them to change the fluid somehow in a sealed unit they will have me sign a waiver. So I'm a bit confused
7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1
Absolutely not!!! What is lifetime fluid?????? 😂 can they tell you how long it will be until you need a transmission????
Is there any harm in bypassing the old transmission flush part in the cooler and just do the rest of the video? 😂How many ounces of old transmission fluid would be in the cooler?
I have a 2009 Aurion. This Winter im noticing a delay in drive when cold. It goes into drive fine. But shifting up from crawling pace it's indecisive in the first couple of gears
Hello beautiful people, does anyone of you know by doing the procedure in the video how many liters of oil the 2008 Camry v6 transmission takes, thank you very much
I have aa 2010 avalon bought it from a lady with 228000 miles for 3000 bucks..I did oil n other services but can't do the tyranny fluid because I just don't kno when lady it was replaced..should I still change it or leave it in.. ? I saw a sticker saying return for service at 201850 but don't just don't know..
Yes, you want to do the filter first, add fluid to the pan then get directly into the flush procedure. The pan is the initial pick-up location for fluid, so having clean fluid there starts the flush process with a "clean push".
The one behind the wheel is the only fill location. Add the 3 qts then hook your lines up for the flush. After the flush, you can mess with getting the level right
Thank you!! I really appreciate it! The only thing I need to find now is the return line. It isn't in the same spot on the radiator as on your car in the video, but my 2015 Camry V6 shouldn't be that different, since it's still a U660E trans and 2GR-FE 3.5L, so I am just looking for a schematic to find it. Definitely don't want to unhook the wrong thing@@MasterJacks
Unhooking the wrong line isn't too big a deal, but can be messy if you're not prepared. Just unhook one of the lines, set a bucket to catch the fluid, then start the car for about 3 seconds. If the fluid is pumping out of the cooler, you have the correct line. If it's pumping out of the transmission, reconnect and use the other line. Good luck! Thanks for watching
FYI I just did this and used the MS fluid because My tranny specialist (30+ years) said he had a few people come back after a rebuild and started to get torque shudder at around 40-45 mph using the Valvoline max life, they changed the fluid to toyota ms and it went away ! take it for what it's worth, you can always drain the maxlife out, if you still want to use it, I didn't want to have any possibility of issues, I have a 2011 Avalon with 57k and just purchased it, I dropped the pan and everything looked good and I'm ready to refill it in the morning with MS. It looks like I got 3 quarts by dropping the pan, I have 4 to refill it.
That's good to know! I've used maxlife on a lot of different transmissions by various manufacturers and haven't had any problems, but maybe it doesn't have the same friction modifier properties as Toyota WS. Thanks for sharing
@@MasterJacks I used the Valvoline MaxLife for my transmission and the 40 mph shudder I used to have went away. I’m considering doing it again and use the Toyota Fluid this time. Great video by the way!
The total system capacity is 9.3qts. The pan holds a little less than 4qts. The rest of the fluid is in the torque converter, cooler, and lines. These don't drain when you remove the pan. After a filter change, you refill the pan with the 3.7 qts then start and verify fluid level.
Great Video, tried to follow this procedure on my 2007 Toyota Harrier (same as RX350) it's a AWD. The problem is that there is no Fill plug (or dip stick) at least not in the location shown, I wonder if there is a fill pull at all, but if so where is it ? thanks
Great video! Does anyone happen to know approximately how long it would take for a professional mechanic to do this job? I have a 2013 Camry LE 4 cylinder non-hybrid. My mechanic says both of his manuals call for like 2.8-3 hours and he told me that seems longer than what the job should actually take, but he isn't sure until he takes a look. If so, it would make a ~$350 job more like $480-500!
I loved your video! It was perfect ! I'm now going to (attempt) to change oil filter and perform the flush on my 2017 SE Camry. The only question I have is does the engine need to be running when you are checking the oil level (with the drain plug out)? Another question I have is, are you familiar with BG products. I have run the BG ATC Plus transmission additive in my 2003 dodge 2500 w/48RE since 60,000 miles and in now has 216,000 miles on it and still going strong. in your opinion, would there be any issue if I added the BG ATC Plus Automatic Transmission Conditioner to this transmission?
@@GoPappy419 I hope the service goes well, thanks for watching! Yes, transmission fluid must be checked while running to provide an accurate indication of level. I don't see any harm with using a good additive.
Tnx alot for the video sir...do u need to warm up the engine b4 u will drain the transmission?and do u need to turn on the engine when u fill the transmission oil?thank you
It drains better when it's warm. Add a couple quarts after the filter change before starting the engine. You then need to start the engine to check and adjust the fluid level.
Great video sir, but one question. After you start the car to transfer the fluid out of the transmission into a pan, do you need to put the transmission in Neutral or will it flow in Park? Thank you!
Maybe roll down all windows and rest a leveled wooden plank across each seat row on top of the window frames so you can put a bubble level tool and check in the middle and at each side
I just called a local auto mechanic and they want $500 just to change my spark plugs. I can't imagine how much they're going to charge to change the transmission fluid😩
Changing spark plugs on these Siennas involve much more time and effort (and material - new gasket for rear intake) than for transmission. I did it - 4 to 5 hrs I had to spend for back spark plugs
Terrific instructions. Most noble genre on TH-cam fr.

Great video, wondering about the fluid you used. I thought I could only use Toyota`s "WS" fluid.
Valvoline maxlife is a full synthetic ATF that meets or exceeds WS fluid properties. It's priced better and has always worked well for me.
Can it be mixed with WS is thats what it has?@@MasterJacks
Yes, it is compatible with WS and can be mixed or used as a replacement
THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY@@MasterJacks

Not a criticism but more of a question..why not use the drain plug to empty the transmission first and use the dipstick tube to fill it? Wouldn't that be less work?
There, unfortunately, is no dipstick tube to fill this transmission. The plug on the side is the only way to refill it.

Hi, how many liters of fluid did you use?
Great video !!!! Very informative.
awesome video thank you!
Where did you get that pump to put over the bucket. I need one of those.
It's called a bucket pump. You can get them on Amazon.
The engine should be idling while the oil level is checked. That is in Toyota V6 service manual
Correct
I have a toyota camry 2011 4-cylinder 2.5L. is this the same process for the 4 cylinder? you only listed v6 in your video.
Is this exact procedure done before the complete flush you show in your other video, or is the complete flush preceded by a different process?
Yes, you want to do the filter first, add fluid to the pan then get directly into the flush procedure. The pan is the initial pick-up location for fluid, so having clean fluid there starts the flush process with a "clean push".
To fill the pan, is it a different fill location than the port behind driver front wheel? I can't see any other ports to fill from. @@MasterJacks
The one behind the wheel is the only fill location. Add the 3 qts then hook your lines up for the flush. After the flush, you can mess with getting the level right
Thank you!! I really appreciate it! The only thing I need to find now is the return line. It isn't in the same spot on the radiator as on your car in the video, but my 2015 Camry V6 shouldn't be that different, since it's still a U660E trans and 2GR-FE 3.5L, so I am just looking for a schematic to find it.

@@MasterJacks hey jacks. Isn’t the total full around 6.9 quarts for these Camrys? Do you add the 4 extra quarts later after putting in the initial 3?
The total system capacity is 9.3qts. The pan holds a little less than 4qts. The rest of the fluid is in the torque converter, cooler, and lines. These don't drain when you remove the pan. After a filter change, you refill the pan with the 3.7 qts then start and verify fluid level.

The only question I have is does the engine need to be running when you are checking the oil level (with the drain plug out)? Another question I have is, are you familiar with BG products. I have run the BG ATC Plus transmission additive in my 2003 dodge 2500 w/48RE since 60,000 miles and in now has 216,000 miles on it and still going strong. in your opinion, would there be any issue if I added the BG ATC Plus Automatic Transmission Conditioner to this transmission?
I also forgot to mention that I changed oil every 30,000 miles religiously
@@GoPappy419 I hope the service goes well, thanks for watching! Yes, transmission fluid must be checked while running to provide an accurate indication of level. I don't see any harm with using a good additive.
I have a 2007 toyota camry, how many quarters of oils I will need to purchase to due the change oil from transmission ? Please
Are the torque specs the same for a 2017 camry 4 cylinder?
what kind of digital torque wrench do you have? I want to buy the same kind. Thanks
I actually just use a manual clicker. I like the Tekton 1/4" 10-150 in lb wrench.
Tnx alot for the video sir...do u need to warm up the engine b4 u will drain the transmission?and do u need to turn on the engine when u fill the transmission oil?thank you
It drains better when it's warm. Add a couple quarts after the filter change before starting the engine. You then need to start the engine to check and adjust the fluid level.
@@MasterJacks copy sir...coz i have 2013 camry se model,but usually how many quarts of transmission oil will i put?
Great video sir, but one question. After you start the car to transfer the fluid out of the transmission into a pan, do you need to put the transmission in Neutral or will it flow in Park? Thank you!
It'll flow in any gear.
Nice video, i am using 4 jack stands, how to ensure the leveling ? shall we use some level Guage, any suggestion ?
Maybe roll down all windows and rest a leveled wooden plank across each seat row on top of the window frames so you can put a bubble level tool and check in the middle and at each side
@@venessankurumeh1549 wooden plank? are you building a house or something? He can just buy a leveling gauge and stick it to the bottom of the pan.
@@anggaros1 yes thank you.
I just called a local auto mechanic and they want $500 just to change my spark plugs. I can't imagine how much they're going to charge to change the transmission fluid😩
Changing spark plugs on these Siennas involve much more time and effort (and material - new gasket for rear intake) than for transmission. I did it - 4 to 5 hrs I had to spend for back spark plugs
They wanted 620$ for spark plug change for my 07 avalon...I youtubed a video and did it myself!
You are Professional bro
Keep posting
