In todays video I show you how to do a Major Service on a 2019 Toyota Camry. Includes Coolant exchange, transmission service, oil change, wiper blades, air filter and cabin filter, I also replaced the spark plugs. This service at the dealership would run you about $500 on a 4 cylinder Toyota for everything besides the spark plugs and wiper blades. Follow this video to save some money and do it yourself. Super Easy job that requires very few tools.

Tech tips for the peeps that want to do this themselves.
-Hybrid transmissions are not the same as non hybrid transmission. Fill procedure is different
-when doing drain and fill procedures, always open the fill port first, then open the drain. Especially if you live on the East where there’s a lot of salt on the road.
I remember that was the first thing I was taught when I started working at the dealer: Make sure you are able to fill before you drain any fluid. A simple fluid change will become a disaster real quick. (I'm in Quebec, Canada so rust is really a thing here).
Just got through changing the transmission filter on a 2012 camry 2.5l and boy that temp procedure no fun! 143k miles and trans feels strong 💪. Luckily next few times will just be a drain and fill.
This video is the only video I need to work on my Camry Se now. Thanks man
I have to say as a self-trained mechanic, this is such a quality video and much appreciated. makes me wonder how much money you saved everyone that's watched this video. thanks for sharing your knowledge. I'd love to see major service on the Toyota Camry TRD 2020-2023
Just got a 2022 Toyota Camry Hybrid and this video is AWESOME, AWESOME , AWESOME. Great Work, Great Video
PETcock PET. Good job on showing all this. Younger people take notice - start buying some tools and learn how to do these simple maintenance tasks.
Bro your the best for this video, keep it up, we appreciate you
He's a natural!
I love how you said look up the torque spec for the spark plugs if you want. After you've done so many jobs, you kinda just know when it's good.
For anyone that doesn’t know, you can buy the rubbers for the windshield wipers so you don’t need a whole new windshield wiper
Great maintenance video for the Hybrid Camry!! I wasn't sure how to bleed the cooling system on a hybrid until now. Thank you for this outstanding how to video!
Nice touch on putting the times for each maintenance
So happy right now I came across your videos , thank you 🙌
Your intro never gets old!😅
U don't need to turn the heater on alot of people think it's necessary it's absolutely not just run maintenance mode let the fans run twice at the second time it runs your fully bled and good to go
Awesome video brother. Can you please tell me what was the inner diameter for the tubing you used on the radiator drain?
2019 Avalon hybrid limited here.....thank you, this video is perfect! Now I'm on the search to figure out how tough it is to do the inverter coolant. I'm hoping the inverter coolant is as easy as all this you describe.
This transmission drain and fill method looks so much easier than the prior gen
Great video for highlighting what a service should look like. Personally, i would have like to see every step of removing and refilling of fluids. A lot of quality info but most of it is just glossed over. Clearly, you've done this A LOT. Most of us here do not have that level of experience. More details would be super helpful
Thanks for the feedback and you are totally right I will try to show/explain a little more of what I am doing in my future videos. I do forget that not everyone does this for a living sometimes.
Much appreciated. To echo the general consensus, your video was fantastic. I had to subscribe after watching. I’lo be here for other videos
Our dealer charges $995 for coolant flush, transmission flush, oil change and air filters.
Flushes are more than drain and fill like he did though.
Not recommended to flush a trans
350ish
@@jss.2020 I did a flush today and everything turn out good. We will see how long it lasts.
@@truegrizzlesfan2292 at what mileage? most people don't recommend flush
Excellent video I am coming up on a coolant service and this was super helpful! Can you do a video in the future on a 2019 camry v6 xle transmission drain and fill or manual flush of the transmission fluid.
If you watch my other video on removing the trans on a Camry I explain how to drain and fill that trans. It is also a 2019 Camry but 4cyl not v6 but process will be the same
@@LetsDriftMedia Kool, ill look for it. Thanks for the great content man!
I reviewed the video several times but did not see a way to flush fluid out. When I did it on my tundra I drained the pan and over filled it with 8 qts, then disconnected a line in the front close to the radiator to get the nasty fluid out of the torque converter and system.
With that said which line on this trans mission should I disconnect to get old fluid out of the cars tranny torque converter and system once I fill it like you did in the video?
@@misterbean8213 I’m sorry I didn’t read your first question entirely. If you want to flush it then yea disconnect one of trans lines at the cooler not sure which one comes from the trans or goes to the trans but should be pretty easy to find out once disconnected. Might make a little mess. But just make sure you have fresh fluid constantly running back into the trans to avoid running it dry. We hardly ever did actual flushes at the dealer it was always drain and fill.
Great video!!! Thanks to you a lot of people save money and learn how to work on their cars (including me lol)!
I have a 21 camry hybrid and I noticed a mpg drop from averaging around 42-44 to 38-40 on a good day, and I just hit 61k miles. Do you think it’s time for me to change the spark plugs?
Couldnt find vids to do this on my hybrid sienna. It has the same engine as this and both are the TNGA K platform. Thanks for this.
I wish you showed how you tighten the spark plugs and how you filled the transmission fluid
I find these videos so satisfying idk I get really stuck on these
I miss your Toyota dealership videos man.
Same thinking about going back to work part time just to make videos lol
@@LetsDriftMedia do it
Good practice to write date, mileage or hours on all filters.
Awesome content bro good job on the video. At how many miles do u recommend all these services? I know oil change is 5k but for like spark plugs would you say 100k or more?
if its my car I would do every 100k
Love these videos man 🤙🏽
car care nut(toyota master mechanic) explained how to do trans fluid change on 4runners. it definitely wasn't a simple drain and fill process. he said how you have to remove/fill depending on the temperature etc. is this something all toyota mechanics know?
You should do a how to pcv valve replacement for one of these newer Toyota Camrys. For some reason one of the engineers thought it would be good idea to put it smack dab behind the intake manifold?
I have a 2020 Camry Hybrid LE... The Transmission Fluid drain and fill is the same procedure correct? Are the drain plug and fill in the same location as the 2022 Camry Hybrid? Should I hook up an OBD 2 Sensor to check exact transmission fluid temp (hot ATF expands and cold ATF contracts) that could change the amount of ATF that drips out the fill plug? Should I cycle through the gears (Drive-Reverse-Neutral-etc.) to run the ATF through before capping the fill plug drain off?
I’ll share with fellow camry owners
Hey. Great video.Is it be the same for a 2022 Camry Hybrid XSE?
Thanks.
When if ever to change the transmission filter ? And would this involve a complicated process ?
Hey, thanks for your great videos. I had a question, how do warranty work for diy car maintenance on my RAV4. I plan to maintain my car but worried about warranty being refused due to diy car service. I plan to use oem parts including oil and save receipts and record mileage.
As long as what you service has nothing to do with whatever part fails. Should still be able to be covered under warranty. Now say you do a trans service on your car. Then the trans starts slipping and fails then your out of luck .
@@LetsDriftMedia Thanks Brother.
Thank you and good jobs showing to do maintenance
Dope content, thanks for the video.
Make sure you check the air flow direction when changing the cabin filter. It has to be put in a certain way to filter properly. There are arrows on the door to the filter compartment and the filters.
Nick, question. I own a 2018 Toyota CHR and currently has 55,000 miles on it. Never has been done a transmission fluid change.
How often or at what miles should it be done? Nothing in the owners manual shows when or after how many miles.
It should be done now honestly and it’s hard to find somewhere that will do it and do it properly in my area at least, also how long do you plan to keep the chr ?
60k for the CVT
That’s that gravyyyyy ticket lol here at Lexus you’ll only be missing the brake flush but we don’t do trans services here lol
It's because most people at dealerships don't know how to talk to their customers and instill confidence that they are recommending needed services. That whole schtick of "it's lifetime fluid, it doesn't need to be changed" is complete BS. If people that worked at dealerships just knew how to converse with customers without coming off as sleazy salespeople, it would be different.
I recently had spark plugs, oil/filter, wipers, engine filter, rotation, and cabin filter changed for $400 with tax at a Toyota dealer for a 2014 Camry.
that’s way too much. dealers be overcharhing
I’m having a hard time believing that unless you had some kind of crazy coupon. Toyota dealer charges 489$ for everything not including spark plugs. But if you did kudos
@@LetsDriftMedia @@LetsDriftMedia It was a package they offered that included all that stuff. Cost came out to $385, $402 after tax. They did an oil change, rotation, spark plugs, cabin/engine filters, and wipers in that package. I went to Team Toyota in Schererville, Indiana. Its on their website under "Schedule service." I believe its the 120K mile service for the Camry. Can't post a picture because TH-cam keeps deleting my posts, but I can DM a picture of the WO to anyone.
@@planefan5812 good stuff. Sorry I misread your first message. I was under the impression you got all of that done as well as a coolant service and transmission service. That makes sense now.
I usually write the date and miles on my filters. That way you know for next time and if someone says they changed it you can always call them out on it.
Can you post a video on the inverter fluid change! Thank you!
nice simple video, thanks 👍
Can you please make for toyota highlander 2021 hibryd service
What's the mileage on the car to have the trans fluid changed already?
Had 89k on it. A little early for a trans/coolant service but they drive a lot of miles on it and wanted to do it as preventative mait. I
Preventive maintenance always
How did you remove the coolant funnel without dumping the remainder of the coolant everywhere?
The funnel comes with a plastic rod/plug you stick in from the top to keep any extra coolant in the funnel.
By far you have the best jams kicken on your channel bro. Thanks for these videos for amateurs like me on car maintenance.
Hey man i know you used to work at a Toyota but I had a question do I need any special tools to flush my brakes on a 2018 Camry XSE? Like any scan tool or anything I’ve tried finding out but can’t find any help anywhere. If not what I’m going to do is remove the fluid from the reservoir making sure not to suck it all out so air doesn’t get in then fill it up then bleed the brakes until it looks like new fluid coming through, in the following rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, then last front driver
No special tools. Just a rubber hose and a empty water bottle will do the trick and the classic pump pump hold technique till you see fresh fluid coming out the lines.
@@LetsDriftMediaAwesome thank you
How about the inverter coolant? I am at 150,000 miles and due for that. I had a 2006 Prius since new and just retired it with over 400k miles (still runs, just a PIA finding and rebuilding main batteries that usually fail in 3 months). Did all the fluid changes myself (and everything else). Used a vacuum fill for inverter and engine coolant on the Prius. Is it required on the Camry for the inverter? I am a fan of changing fluids for preventative maintenance even if not recommended, but could not find any reference to transmission fluid change in my 2018 Camry Hybrid Maintenance Manual. BTW, many thanks for the videos!
I would rec doing the inverter coolant service, should be similar process check the side of the radiator and see if it has 2 drain cocks, if it does one is for the inverter and one is for the radiator. Just drain the inverter and fill the reservoir back up and run the vehicle with cap off to let bleed or use a vacuum bleeder. I have a CT200h so basically a prius might be doing a video on that service soon.
Also clean the throttle body and add injectors cleaner and open brakes clean and lubricant the caliber pin
Do you know where I could get a repair/service manual for a 2021 Camry hybrid?
Do the drain plug and fill plug on 2019 Sienna use the same crush washer? Is the crush washer they use the same as the motor oil drain plug crush washer?
trans drain and fill plug washer are completely different than the oil pan drain plug. different sizes.
At how many miles should you replace trans and engine coolant? My 2015 Camry has 93k miles and never replaced any of them?
Coolant flush/drain&fill is every 100k, transmission is every 60k
@@zenkitrueno6787 thanks for the comment
@@zenkitrueno6787 THIS except every 60k after the first 100k on coolant.
Must the coolant be drained before filling? Or can it just be filled? Is this process the same for a 2021 highlander?
Yo yo yo!!! Can you please suggest a good book for beginners and intermediate? Thanks
Literally did my transmission today at my local shop. Car was up in the air on a lift. Took out 3.5 qts. You only took out 3 qts cause your car was only lifted from the front causing the ATF to roll to the back of the transmission behind the drain bolt. Should've lifted the rear to make the car even as possible.
Indeed.
Are you in New York want to do coolant change and transmission fluid change soon on my 2018 Camry
To exit service mode do you just turn the vehicle off? Or is there a sequence to turn off? Love the vid 🤙🏽
Yea sorry just shut it off and will exit service mode
Watching this is giving me flashbacks of when I worked at the lube Rack at Toyota
The hood ok days
For Every Mystery Someone Somewhere Who Knows The Truth Perhaps That Someone Is Watching Perhaps It's YOU ? Great Job : > )
I have a 22 Camry se hybrid with 50k miles. Any recommend maintenance at this mileage other than oil change and tire rotation?
Probably air filter and cabin filter replacement. maybe a throttle body cleaning service. rest of the fluids should still be fine at 50k.
@@LetsDriftMedia thank you sir
How many miles on this camry hybrid? When should I change my spark plugs, coolant, and transmission fluid for first time
100k miles
Hey there just wanted to know did you change any of the washers (gaskets) for the transmission fluid change?
Yes, change the drain plug washer and fill plug washer. You can get away with re using them since they are not crush washers on this trans but it is still recommended. plus they cost pennies for a new washer.
Hey man im out in the HD. have an 18 highlander. You available to do perform this service? I actually trust you, dont feel like fussing w the dealer. Make for a good video too.
email me inikko@live.com
I thought the repair manual says that’s not the fill plug for that transmission. It’s actually on the other side. That plug being removed “may” damage a coil in the transmission or something like that.
No, if it’s a hybrid that is definitely the full plug. Non hybrid would be on the opposite side by driver side wheel.
Muchas gracias por compartir 😇!
Great 👍🏻 keep it up nick ,i am from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰,may i can know how many miles after need to replace air filter
Depends what conditions you drive in. Just look at it every now and then only takes a few seconds to inspect
What is the process for changing the transmission fluid for a v6 2019 camry? Also how much fluid does the v6 version need?
Do the CVTs in hybrids not have a transmission filter? I see some sites saying to change the fluid and filter but I don't think the eCVT has a filter.
Toyota has gone away from replaceable filters so its pretty much just fluid changes now.
What kind of drill is that smaller one that you use on the spark plugs???
You don't sell an inverter coolant service and brake fluid flush as part of the major service?
Both optional. Inverter service is rec But most people never want to pay for a brake flush
Yo yo yo yo!!!! Nice video…Help me out brother.. i have a 2013 corolla and i remove the caliper slide pins and now i don’t know if the rubber slide pin goes at the top or at the bottom lol..
Should not matter they are the same
@@LetsDriftMedia thanx bro!!
What is the fluid interval on the trans fluid? 30k?
60k, but 30k for coolant
I have a 2019 RAV4 hybrid and looks to me like it does not have a radiator cap. I drain and fill both the engine and inverter coolant today, put it in maintenance mode, the radiator cooling fan kicked on, then the RPM of the cooling fan speed picked up, follow up with some pretty loud noise. I turned off the car, took it a a ride, the temp reading on coolant for the engine rose up pretty quickly. It seems that, I think have a bubble trapped. Coolant level on both reservoirs are top off. How do I burp it? Please help.
Dope video
is there a video on the v6 model on transmission fluid change?
do you use this method (service mode) too for the electric parking brake system when doing a brake service?
No it is a different procedure to put the rear brakes in service mode in order to do a rear brake job. They method I showed is just to keep the engine running.
@@LetsDriftMedia I hear you. Idk if you’re familiar with Honda and there stuff but for the Hondas I would put it in service mode with HONDA diagnose program on laptop with HondaIN and all that stuff, I figure it would be similar to that process with TIS. And Something new popped up called GTS. Just completed that.
@@volt6008 yea it’s similar to Toyota then you can also use the dealer scan tool for the rear brake service mode or do a sequence with the electric parking brake button. But I didn’t do that enough to remember exactly how without the scan tool
@@LetsDriftMedia sounds good man! Hope your doing well my guy!
Which toyota models and years have service mode?
Thank you for the video
Need to clean battery filter as well.
Good point!
According to another master tech here on TH-cam he said not to run the heater doing this whole process or you could ruin something in the system, any idea what he means is he right and you skipped to show us that step? Thanks man
Sounds false to me, running the heater just allows a valve to let coolant flow through the heater core located beneath the dashboard, The hot coolant running through the heater core allows the air being blown past it by your cars blower motor to allow hot air to be blown out your vents into the cabin. If that was true, then I guess you could possibly "ruin something" anytime you ran the heater in your car which makes 0 sense.
@@LetsDriftMedia ok yea that’s what I thought thanks man
Can you rotors and pads brake change on hibryds and reseting
brake job on any toyota is basically the same hybrid or not there is no resetting, just pull the rotors off, replace the pads and compress the brake caliper and slap it back together.
hows the epoxy flooring holding up? does the jacks/jack stands leave marks on the floor with the weight of the vehicle on it?
Almost a year since I laid it on the floors. So far so good I thought the same thing but they do not leave marks. Held up to gear oil sitting in a puddle for a few months too. Cleans right up. I’ll do an update video soon about the flooring
@@LetsDriftMedia cool thanks I would love that! Thinking of getting it done to my own garage floor.
@@oswaldgobblepot if you have the time I would rec doing it your self. I did mine not having any experience with it and was able to save a whole lot of money vs paying someone.
Does all Toyotas should have the frame that holds the Cabin Air Filter. I own a 2010 Corolla and it doesn't have the plastic part on it and I always feel that the filter is always loose.
No most of them do not have that plastic holder
I exchanged the auto trans fluid on my '16 Scion tC that i just bought. I just replaced the same amount of fluid that came out. Should I have kept filling till it dripped out the fill hole? Thanks!
60k, but 30k for coolant
I remember back in the day at Honda parts on a Saturday morning we'd see 30k and 90k and 15k on the pre printed RO's and all five if us would be charging the parts out and prepping them in coolant boxes to give to whichever tech got the service. Throwback, damn almost all the time a bunch of us would show up after an all night out partying just trying to get through the morning until the Saturday free pizza lunch showed up hahaha
When you bleed the coolant do you need to have the funnel on there or can you take it off?
Keep the funnel on until you stop seeing air bubbles come out. Then remove the funnel and put the radiator cap back on
What do I use for 2019 4runner for power steering. Atf or power steering fluid
As a PDI tech with 7 different makes. I just have to ask about the PDI on Yaris Hybrid. We have mazda as one of those and we just got the new Mazda 2 (Yaris Hybrid) I placed the 30A fuse where it should go. But I did not get the moving lines on the reverse camera. Anyhow to make it work? I tried removing and reseating the fuse. No go. Even if I go full right or left then the opposite :/ Same with the TPMS did not get any smarter from my mazda tech who have gone the course and even he doesnt know .. We dont have GTS fixed yet also 😕😕
I've watched a Toyota Master diagnostic mechanic called the car Care nut, and he always insists not to turn on the heater, and there's no need to do that during coolant change process.
Right on 👍
How much did the customer pay for all this? Looking to do mine
Where's the thermostat located on a 2018 Camry
Where should be be buying these parts wholesale?
But u didn’t change the direct injection spark plugs behind the manifold
not sure if you're trolling or not here sorry.
I'd love to do that service.
This could be very similar to the 2021 Venza right?
Yea if its a hybrid should be entirely the same. Been a few years but believe those are the same 4cyl engine/trans shown on this vehicle.
@@LetsDriftMedia Yes I thought so as well. Thanks for the reply!!
How do you exit service mode on the hybrid? Is it the same way you did for getting to service mode?
Shut the car off. It will exit service mode.
If 3 quarts come out the transmission you should put 3-4?, or is there an exact amount, or it doesn’t matter and won’t affect the transmission negatively ?
What are the procedures for the non hybrid ( 2.5L), I knwo people say the trans has to be at a certain operation tempature and stuff like that
Non hybrid you start with 5 qts or so. Get the trans to operating temp then pop the drain plug off. There is another plastic check tube inside the drain on the non hybrids and you want fluid to just trickle out when warmed up.
With the hybrids you just fill them up like a differential
@@LetsDriftMedia what is the operating temperature for the transmission check oil procedure and how do I do it without any fancy dealership computers?
@@aquilararmando Dont remember the exact temp but I wanna say around 104-117 degrees F. Shoould reach operating temp within 10-15mins idling.
Can we mix Toyota Coolant with Aisin Red color coolant for top up?
Im sure youll be fine, Ive seen ppl mix autozone green coolant with Toyota Pink coolant. Also FYI Toyota Pink coolant is the same as Toyota red coolant, Pink is just pre dilluted with 50/50 distilled water.
What about all the fluid in the torque converter? Isn't this just thinning out the old transmission fluid and contaminating the new one?
You could do a flush if you wanted to but I just showed how to do a fluid exchange which is what you would get when taking your car into the dealer.
@@LetsDriftMedia I thought dealerships had the fluid exchange machines for a true transmission flush. Your videos are always helpful thanks for the info!
