I just had my transmission full serviced. It was $8Q $15 for the seal at Toyota. They have no filter just a screen that has to be cleaned. I did the service at 90K.
Just remember that if you have a truck or car with a manual transmission or rear axle differential it takes 90 weight gear oil not transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is a hydraulic fluid with a red dye in so you can see the leaks.
1 question, Can I use an oil/fluid extractor pump though trensmission fluid dipstick line to suck them out ???? That would be kind of easy as a DIY project ? What do u think ??
I know you posted this in April, but do you recommend changing the filter? My husband let the fluid get kinda dark...ok more than kinda dark,but he keeps on procrastinating so I plan on doing it myself. What is more cost efficient a mom and pop shop or diy?
Hi. The nice thing about import Vehicles they do put that drain plug 2 make it more convenient to drain the fluid and refresh. But at the same token ultimately it's best to change the filter. I haven't changed my filter yet to be honest but I'm going to do it on the transMission fluid change so what he can do is drain the fluid from the drain plug to make it easier and then unbolt the transmission pan. So that's where that drain plug becomes convenient as it goes for differentials. They put a drain plug on some and it's really nice to have it but then you might want to take the whole cover off to do a more thorough clean. I hope that helps.
Please remember that if you have a manual transmission or rear axle differential, it takes 90 weight gear oil, not transmission fluid. Transmission fluid is hydraulic fluid, with a red dye in it so you can see the leaks. They don't mix or match.
The proper transmission fluid for 2005 Toyota's and newer is Toyota ATF "WS" do not use their older fluid. If your a mechanic change out the filter. Do not have the system flushed, it's a bad idea.
This video was not very helpful as it did not show me how to get the new fluid into the transmission. Maybe that is supposed to be obvious but not to me. Do I get a long skinny funnel and pour it into the place where the dipstick is?
I have a 2007 Camry v4, and I’ve been trying to locate the 24 mm ws bolt/ refill plug! There is no dipstick! And looked behind the driver wheel and no ws bolt there… looked above the transmission oil pan and around and still couldn’t locate the refill plug. Any idea where it could be ? Thanks!
At over 100,000 miles even if the fluid had been changed in the past but not the filter you should have dropped the pan not only to change the filter but also to inspect the transmission pan for wear condition and clean the magnets. Other than that a well done video.
Toyota fluid ATF Or fully compatible one but best to use genuine fluid. Look at it this way. $15.00 a qt get 4 or 5 qts or $3,000 for a new transmission.
I have a 2007 toyota camry xle I've ask everyone can they change it everyone saying I have to go to the shop because I don't have a dipstick so they can't do it a special "machine" has to be used and the dealership wants 300+
I hear ya. If you are able to find the dipstick next to the battery. Have the tools, strong mechanical skills, correct fluid for it. Then do it. Dipstick might be black color, which makes it hard to find.
Buy at least 5 qts. If you can determine how many you drained out, then get that many and one extra. Then a can a brakleen cleaner to clean up the mess on the pan. And grab me a lemonade to drink, lol.
I went a local repair shop to have the trans fluid in my 05 Camry changed at 100k miles . (This was 10 years ago.) His parts store where they get their parts asked "why?". He told me on the Trans dip stick it said "this trans fluid should never be changed." I saw it myself!! The dealer here locally wants to change it every 30k miles. More money in their pocket. My 14 Camry is a sealed transmission. It's not even listed in their Maintenance book. I think everyone on this site that is telling you to change it--- is either a mechanic or affiliated with a dealership. Under normally operating conditions, leave the dam transmission fluid alone!!
I dont think so over time fluid gets old and dirty I'm not no mechanic but I got a 1995 toyota camry and it's at 270k with same engine and transmission had it since I was 16 now I'm 19 All I did was keep on with oil and fluid changes.
My 06 Camry is used for pizza delivery five nights a week, 150k+ miles very hard working transmission. Had it done 10k miles ago and having issues already. Gotta drain and fill again and try to keep this thing alive

Are the transmission and differential fluids mixed, and by changing the ATF you're also changing the differential fluid?
Yes, it's a transaxle, it's incorporates both the transmission and the differential. If you change the fluid, you are changing it for both.

If you can. Try it. But the drain plug on toyota are easy. Just need HEX socket to turn it, its not a nut head like the oil drain plug. 1 answered
@@jrfmechanical3058 thanks. I think drain and fill is the safest option
@@ashrafsiddiquee3190 just quicker, draining.
Good Video my friend
Thank you for the information

Sounds easy enough so I'll probably do it tomorrow. Thank you!
Great video, what size it the drain plug . hex?
10mm indented hex bolt
No, Two separate thing. But can call for ATF for thre differential
2007 manual transmission oil which one
For a manual transmission, i would believe 75w-90

So you re-filled it where the dipstick is right? Also how did it drive afterwards?
Where the dipstick is, to refill it. I hope you found it? Red finger cap
Yes. Sorry for the slow reply

What are the fluid type you are using.
Thanks
Check with your auto part store. But on this year, it called for a special fluid, not dexron ATF.
It's called Toyota ATF "WS" The dealer says it's for 2005 vehicles and newer.
This video was not very helpful as it did not show me how to get the new fluid into the transmission. Maybe that is supposed to be obvious but not to me. Do I get a long skinny funnel and pour it into the place where the dipstick is?
Sorry, i didn't provide that. Yes, a skinny one to fit in the transmission dipstick tubing.
Next Time You Under The Hood Read The Label On The Transmission Deep Stick You Will Get A Kick Out Of It.🤣
Totally.
If it’s true.
Why they built a engine plus a transmission WITH A DRAIN PLUG??? 😮

located directly to the right of Your vehicle's battery. Might be black color
@@jrfmechanical3058 I looked, and there is no dipstick.
If you mean V6 (V4?), there is no dipstick.
At over 100,000 miles even if the fluid had been changed in the past but not the filter you should have dropped the pan not only to change the filter but also to inspect the transmission pan for wear condition and clean the magnets.
Other than that a well done video.
Would the location of these parts be the same in the 2008?
I would think so.
(Just like mazda 3 the same part from 2003 to 2009. Then manufacturer change it again. )
what kind of transmission fluid did you use ?
Toyota fluid ATF
Or fully compatible one but best to use genuine fluid. Look at it this way. $15.00 a qt get 4 or 5 qts or $3,000 for a new transmission.
@@jrfmechanical3058 thanks bro your absolutely right
Valvoline Maxlife is great as well
@@onlyeightpsi that will work that's. What I used
Did the tranmission plug have a washer?
I can't remember but i think so. Just to seal better.
@@jrfmechanical3058 OK thanks!
How many quarts did it take ?
Buy at lease 5 qts to be safe. Might only use 4
Rule of thumb. Put in, what you take out. (Amount wise)
@@comocabron It has a small leak, so it should take a little more than what comes out

How many liters for a drain and fill atf?
Buy 5qts to be safe.
That's not an '05 Camry.
How about 2007. My CC shows 2007 maybe its my southern voice
Oops, fixed. Thank you
How many qts dose it takes ?
Buy at least 5 qts. If you can determine how many you drained out, then get that many and one extra. Then a can a brakleen cleaner to clean up the mess on the pan. And grab me a lemonade to drink, lol.
@@jrfmechanical3058 of course a nice drink 🍸 for you.

What size hex bolt is this?
10mm hex bit. It's on a 3/8 socket with that 10mm hex on it.

with that logic, don't change your engine oil either then.
wrong car?
Toyota Camry
