Thanks for the video , im gonna try to do it myself tomorrow. I bought a 2009 toy corolla dirt cheap. Ive got it running great and almost done with all the maintenance , just from watching TH-cam. Im not very mechanical but i pulled it off , thanks guys !
Using a inch pound torque wrench to tighten the transmission pan gave me a little extra piece of mind, knowing I got the pan tightened as uniform as possible
Your tutorial video is one of the best on You tube. Only one advise - please use the rubber gloves when your skin is coming in contact with cancerous substance like used engine and transmission oil. Other than that - your video is perfect
Sub'd and liked. Wow, great info Thomas.....especially re-installing the trans pan gasket. I've watched many videos on this subject, yet none have spoken in this degree to the gasket procedure. Thanks a million, rocket
Good info. bro ! got 2011 Toyota corolla with same engine. Also got different amount of fluid, the 3.2 qts. or 3.7 - all depends on if you doing trans oil change only, or with a filter.Toyota says it life time trans oil, but it can't be- mine was as black as it could be.
Good video, BUT never climb under a car on a jack. Always use jack stands or such. I personally know of two people that the jack didn't hold the car up. One was killed and the other did damage to his leg.
Nice! How bout them canister housings on the oil filters… not so bad when we do it ourselves but 18ft lbs should be what it is tightened too.. got a vid of the seized on canister filter would be helpful to many. Sorry if you did that already as I just subscribed 🤙🏼
Thanks, I'm going to do this even though they say don't do it after 60,000 miles. But it's popping out of gear into neutral and I'm hoping this helps although I don't know but I got to try.
If it's popping out and you have a manuel. It's not the transmission. It's a plastic in the stick. That gets worn out and it's preventing it from staying in gear. You need to get to it from the interior side.
So I've been watching a few videos and then decided to find articles on same subject. I think this comment that a guy made hits the nail on th head. "The problem is a drain and fill doesn’t replace 100% of the old transmission fluid. Most of the old fluid is held in the torque converter, valve body, and cooling lines. So it’s like draining only 50% of the engine oil, and then adding oil to bring the level up to the full mark. The new oil doesn’t replenish the old oil. But the old oil contaminates the new oil. So, if you want all the old transmission fluid replaced, a transmission fluid exchange machine is used." thoughts?
ATF lasts a hell of a lot longer than the engine oil does. If you were to replace only 50% of your engine oil every 2k miles (assuming full synthetic will a life of 5k) it would indeed be 99% as effective as changing it 100% every 5k. Transmission fluid has a safe lifespan of usually 80k miles. Just make sure you do a change every 20k and you will have changed aprox. 95% of the old fluid before the end of it's safe life span, without the need of performing a potentially disastrous flush which requires a pressurized machine pumping mystery fluid (they dont flush the flusher, it will contain remnants of every ATF they have used even if they do use the correct fluid for your car) into a system that is extremely sensitive and reliant on pressure.
That's a great sales line from a stealership. Drain and fill is perfectly reasonable. The Corolla holds about 6.9q including the torque converter; that means your doing just under 50% replacement each time. Do that twice about 500mi apart and you've purged about 80-85% of that original fluid, and no "flush" machine touches it. If you *really* want fluid replacement, do it via the coolant output lines; drain it via the pan first, then route the trans coolant output line to a graduated container. Run the car only long enough to fill the container, then replace what comes out; repeat u til the fluid is uniformly "cherry." For me, the spill-and-fill has worked fine. Filter replacement isn't *that* critical because the media is really a coarse metal mesh, so it is unlikely to clog or truly *need* replacement. No harm if you do, though. But no "flushes."
@@DIYDaveOK I totally agree with your coolant line assessment. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. The best way to change tranny fluid is by coolant output line. The downside is you will likely use 3-4 gallons of fluid which is a lot of money. I also agree that tranny fluid doesn't have to be changed for 80K miles. I wouldn't go to any shops and do their tranny flush machine. It's a gimmick. BTW, you know they'll be using some cheap generic fluid. If you want something done right, do it yourself (if you can).
Yikes! Hope the EPA is not watching the cleaning procedure...My 2009 Corolla has over 255,000 miles and need to replace the filter. Thanks for the video.
5 min and 15 sec into the video displays a area that is just for this cleaning. that dirt like a parts washer gets removed and disposed of just like a parts washer. dedicate a area as i have and it is just the same as my parts washer process. all trans pans are done in the same 5 foot by 5 foot area. there is 2x6 around and concrete below the soil. thanks for watching.
Yeah...I know. The Toyota Dealer in my area said it doesn't have a Filter...just a Screen. The Car in this Video is the same...only a 2010 Corolla S. Then the guy behind the counter tried to tell me that if I take the Pan off...it'll cause problems. Great...so how do you clean the Magnets and Screen (if any) of built-up metal debris etc? Wait...I know? They want you to buy a New Tranny or get a Rebuild is the only reason for this. I can't see how taking a Transmission Pan off would cause any problems...unless you're really, really careless or don't put the pan on properly. Go Figure??? This was the Parts Counter telling me this...not a seasoned Mechanic who actually knows the Car inside and out.
I have been looking all morning for types of transmission fluid, how much, what torque and anything I can get a hold of, and I think I got about as many different answers as I did videos and articles! ;-) I just bought three quarts, just in case I needed that much since most of what I have been reading and watching was around 2-2.5 qts. Now you say three gal...er...quarts, maybe more! (sigh)
I did mine on the weekend... It drained about 2.5lt from the sump.. So I just replaced that amount.. So, That should be ok? Can't seem to get a clean reading from the dip stick....
i know this video is old, but what are the torque specs for the three bolts that hold the filter and all the bolts for around the pan? I’m about to do this to my 09 corolla
hi..i already change transmission filter for 2 times (80k and 160k). Original toyota transmission filter come without oring. I assembled back used oring with new filter. My question.. when used recycle oring can effect oil flow/suction if oring leak?
What do you say if I bought my 2009 Corolla with 72,000 miles and it now has 234,000 miles without ever having changed the transmission fluid, but recently a seal was damaged and it leaked a bit, should I change it or just top it off?
I'm with you on the same car with the same mileage. Having some shifting slippage on the first gear. I have an automatic. Thinking of doing this and also flush it as well. Looks like the ATF should be changed every 60k miles. Didn't know that and now it will be in my maintenance.
thanks for the video, changed my 2009 toyota corolla transmission filter and fluid and now the car makes a winding noise in first gear. Noise gets louder the faster i accelerate in first gear. Also the shift is just a bit rough from first to second. All other gears shift and sound fine. What could be the problem?
Ik this response is super late but it could be that your transmission fluid was really dirty. Your transmission could be slipping or something like that
Filter drain plug is 31ft lbs, pan bolts are 5 ft lbs....and unlike the video secure them in a cross hatch pattern a la lug nuts to prevent warping the pan
I have a Toyota Corolla 2012 I’m at 102 k on it.. took it to the mechanic today to do a transmission flush .... he did not advice me to do it instead he change the filter and gasket and put the rest of fluid on transmission .... I’m just very concern did the mechanic did the right thing ??? Thanks a ton
yes, most try to sell you on a flush. do not do a flush on that car. he is a good man. never flush a transmission with 100k only change the fluid and filter. when you flush you remove some of the clutch material between the clutches and cause slipping. again he did the right thing. great question. thanks for watching.
I hit a curve and the oil pan broke and another part that's beside it broke that has something to do with the transmission, does anyone know if its worth repairing the transmission or just the parts that broke...I don't know the name of the part but its like a cylinder part.
any idea if the trans filter even needs to be changed? can you just do a drain every now and then instead of taking the pan off? didnt look like there was much metal shavings anywhere on the pan.
you must change the filter, because if it plugs, the fluid pressure will not be correct and the transmission will not get the proper amount of fluid. thanks for watching!
I have almost have 200000 miles. Not sure if the transmission been changed. But I want change it and the filter. Need your advice should I change it ??
Curious: is it necessary to change transmission filter everytime you change transmission fluid on Corolla (mine is 2007)? I noticed on TH-cam vids that some people do it while others skip it
i never skip it, the cost is not that much, and your there. people who do not drop the pan, and flush it are crazy to me. once you do them and realize how not so bad they are, the out come of a new filter, and the response is great. not to mention the stuff your keeping away from the shifting solenoids. people who flush only have something in common. they all believe they just got a bum trans when the clutches finally go. ha ever heard any one saying a job worth doing, is worth doing well. if your not gonna filter the fluid, why change it. might as well leave the old fluid in, because the dirty filter is not gonna let the fluid through weather it is clean or dirty, putting to much pressure on clutches and solenoids. save your self the money in 6 months to a year. change it. thanks for watching.
To add to the conversation it depends how often you do it. If you are changing tranny fluid rarely like most people, absolutely change it. If you are like me and do a ATF change nearly every time you change the oil every 5k miles or so, I dont bother with the filter each time. Closer to one every 4 changes aka 20k miles. Transmission filters dont work as hard as engine oil filters do. In fact most of the debris not caught by the pans magnet is created in the initial break in period of the transmission. If the filter cant go a solid 20 or 30k miles then the transmission is being damaged and will fail soon.
great video, question, at what millage did you first change the transmission filter ? and what brand of ATF you using ? what are the symptoms of a dirty filter ?
So I am at 84,000 miles and never changed the transmission fluid. A buddy said to keep some of the old because it gets thick over time and add it to the new. He said if you just add all new it can screw things up in your transmission...can you confirm this?
he is correct, but keep in mind that the torque converter will hold about 5-9 quarts that you will not be changing. so yes, and no. if you are not flushing the whole thing and you are just draining whats in the pan, your good. great question!! thanks for watching.
some Toyota s have a synthetic that is good for a lot more miles, but i have never met a transmission that did not benefit from changing the fluid. some i will not flush, but all i will change. great question. thanks for watching.
RSHALO1316 i have the same year car 2014.let me know how u made out.my friend gas a 2008 and i have replaced that one and it is about 3 qts but it does have a dipstick unlike the 2014 sealed..
Why...because he didn't do a complete flush on the transmission...and I don't recommend it either. When you manually drain the pan, you'll only get about 50-60% Percent of the total amount of fluid in the Tranny. So...you're only going to need about half of the capacity to refill it. If you do this once every 1 or 2 Years, you'll be removing and replacing the old fluid and replenishing it with newer fluid over time. Less likely to run into problems that way! If you're wanting to replace the Filter on the cheap, and don't want to buy a new one? Just take out the old filter and wash it thoroughly with Varsol or another similar cleaning solvent, dry it reasonably well...save the rubber ring and buy yourself a new Pan Gasket in advance. Some guys just use ample amounts of Brake Cleaning Spray to wash out the old filter. They'll still work okay!
Sorry for the late respond. I have the 2014 Corolla L which has the transmission fluid dipstick. So looks like just draining the fluid only 3 quarts is required. However, if you take apart the whole transmission fluid pan I think thats when 6.9 quarts of oil will be required. So in conclusion if your planning on only draining and refilling 3 quarts of oil is all you will need. I will recommend you to measure out how much you take out and put back in that much.
Thanks for the information. I bought 7 quarts of toyota AFS oil did the drain and fill only 3 quarts drove it 1000 miles did another drain and fill just because i had left over oils.
My truck takes 3 gallons so I'm sure this car takes at least one gallon or 4 qts. Totally absurd 19 bolts that's insane my truck has 14 and that's ridiculous.
Darrin G. Filters are cheap. Cleaning them is not effective and you risk contaminating the clean side of the filter with particles that will damage the valve body.
a cup? power steering fluid? i am not sure what your asking, but thanks for watching. if you have a question ask away, i will help if i can, but i am not sure what the question is.
hmmm i would need to read that, clean fluid is always important. they sell filters and fluid for it, so maybe its reading something different. thanks for watching
That's because WS is "lifetime" fluid. In reality, WS has a weak additive package and is not synthetic (prone to oxidation at high temp). WS fluid is toast at 60k. You really should change it at 30k.
Sure...they want your business. It's a selling and marketing ploy. ATF does not last a lifetime, and over time it will accumulate microscopic particles, oxides, and metal shavings! Don't want an expensive "Transmission Job" at their Shop? Change your Tranny Fluid every 1 or 2 years or so!
Thanks for the video , im gonna try to do it myself tomorrow. I bought a 2009 toy corolla dirt cheap. Ive got it running great and almost done with all the maintenance , just from watching TH-cam. Im not very mechanical but i pulled it off , thanks guys !
perfect, its all about saving money, thanks for watching.
Corolla started shifting rough immediately knew I was low and your video is the go too for my 80K 2011
Great video man! Very concise, straight to the point and very detailed. I like that you pinged the bolt holes on the pan.
You have restored my faith in doing this for the first time on my own. I'll let you know how it goes. Thank you!
So....
Using a inch pound torque wrench to tighten the transmission pan gave me a little extra piece of mind, knowing I got the pan tightened as uniform as possible
What inch pounds did u use to tighten
48 inch pounds pan, 84 inch pounds filter.
Or divide by 12.
Your tutorial video is one of the best on You tube. Only one advise - please use the rubber gloves when your skin is coming in contact with cancerous substance like used engine and transmission oil. Other than that - your video is perfect
Just finished my 2010 Corolla. Thank you for the video. Couldn't/Wouldn't have done it without you.
AR A lot of oil stays within the transmission. Only put back exactly what you took out or you will overfill. Check the dipstick after you finished.
AR I am not a mechanic so I would not rely on my answers. I have watched several videos that discourage flushes as doing more harm than good.
Sub'd and liked. Wow, great info Thomas.....especially re-installing the trans pan gasket. I've watched many videos on this subject, yet none have spoken in this degree to the gasket procedure.
Thanks a million,

Good info. bro ! got 2011 Toyota corolla with same engine. Also got different amount of fluid, the 3.2 qts. or 3.7 - all depends on if you doing trans oil change only, or with a filter.Toyota says it life time trans oil, but it can't be- mine was as black as it could be.
topping it off and running it and re checking sounds like a must. ha. thanks for watching. and the great comment
for manufacturers, "life time" fluid simply means the lifetime of the transmission, once the transmission blows up or breaks, thats it.
its close to around four quarts. 3.2 is drain and refill which does not include the filter thats full of oil
Yeah that look like oil there..
The video procedure also works for 2008 Yaris, great vid.
Eh mirado otro video y no saben explicar y este video está muy bien explicado con detalle gracias
Good video, BUT never climb under a car on a jack. Always use jack stands or such. I personally know of two people that the jack didn't hold the car up. One was killed and the other did damage to his leg.

Great job brother, just bought my 2009 corolla, so I want to do a full time up on it to save a some money.. thanks
perfect, thanks for watching.
Excellent Thomas, perfect for my 2011 Corolla SE, thank you!!
Nice tip on the ping, thanks
Great vid quick and to the point. 😊 thanks
Using dirt to clean it. Love it
It sucks the oil and absorbs all.
Drained my atf at 180k km and coolant at 190k km. Still running strong.
It was your first transmission fluid change at 180 km ? My corolla is 190 km and i am afraid to do that
Lucas Soares....yes it was the first time doing drain and fill on the atf. No issues.
Very professional short and to the point love it God Bless keep up the dirt work I meant good work
Nice! How bout them canister housings on the oil filters… not so bad when we do it ourselves but 18ft lbs should be what it is tightened too.. got a vid of the seized on canister filter would be helpful to many. Sorry if you did that already as I just subscribed 🤙🏼
Thanks, I'm going to do this even though they say don't do it after 60,000 miles. But it's popping out of gear into neutral and I'm hoping this helps although I don't know but I got to try.

Thanks for watching!
Great Video! Thanks!
A little brake clean and a paper towel is how I cleaned mine. Do not tighten more than 6 ft lbs.
This is a great video!
so you don't have to have a particular order in tightening the pan up? Like how on a wheel you do a cross pattern?
Bless you man
Thanks much
I did mine on the weekend... It drained about 2.5lt from the sump.. So I just replaced that amount.. So, That should be ok? Can't seem to get a clean reading from the dip stick....
Supposedly you need a special tool for filling the transmission fluid on that model Toyota. What is the special tool and why does it need to be used?
i know this video is old, but what are the torque specs for the three bolts that hold the filter and all the bolts for around the pan? I’m about to do this to my 09 corolla
Nice tutorial Bro !
thanks for watching chee.

Never had a trans oil/filter change.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Thanks my friend 👍🏼
gracias por ver a mi amigo!
What about changing the entire fluid? Shouldn't you drain all the fluid by pumping it out?
Is this video good for a 2013 Corolla?
thanks for the video, changed my 2009 toyota corolla transmission filter and fluid and now the car makes a winding noise in first gear. Noise gets louder the faster i accelerate in first gear. Also the shift is just a bit rough from first to second. All other gears shift and sound fine. What could be the problem?
The fluid pressure has changed because the dirty fluid should have been changed sooner. Use Lucas Transmission fix fluid
Never4getMusic did you ever know what was the problem? i have the same problem
Ik this response is super late but it could be that your transmission fluid was really dirty. Your transmission could be slipping or something like that

Yes. The vibe was made by toyota and re-branded for Pontiac. They have the same engines.
What about Manuel transmission for fluid check
Thanks 🙏 thanks 🙏

safe and wise, but do not do a flush on that one, just change of filter and fluid. thanks for watching.
You should change fluid and firlter asap.
I did a drain and fill, a month later did it again, a month later did drain/fill and changed the filter
Hi, very nice job sir!!!
Can u tell me what model of CVT is?? It is a K 111 or K 311 or K 314
Tanks!!!
Not a cvt
CVTs didnt come on the Corolla until the 2014 model year
Will be changing the transmission fluid on my 2014 Corolla it says it holds 6.9 quarts for ATF WS fluid …. How come yours is only 3.2 quarts?
RSHALO1316 i have the same year car 2014.let me know how u made out.my friend gas a 2008 and i have replaced that one and it is about 3 qts but it does have a dipstick unlike the 2014 sealed..
Why...because he didn't do a complete flush on the transmission...and I don't recommend it either. When you manually drain the pan, you'll only get about 50-60% Percent of the total amount of fluid in the Tranny. So...you're only going to need about half of the capacity to refill it. If you do this once every 1 or 2 Years, you'll be removing and replacing the old fluid and replenishing it with newer fluid over time. Less likely to run into problems that way! If you're wanting to replace the Filter on the cheap, and don't want to buy a new one? Just take out the old filter and wash it thoroughly with Varsol or another similar cleaning solvent, dry it reasonably well...save the rubber ring and buy yourself a new Pan Gasket in advance. Some guys just use ample amounts of Brake Cleaning Spray to wash out the old filter. They'll still work okay!
Sorry for the late respond. I have the 2014 Corolla L which has the transmission fluid dipstick. So looks like just draining the fluid only 3 quarts is required. However, if you take apart the whole transmission fluid pan I think thats when 6.9 quarts of oil will be required. So in conclusion if your planning on only draining and refilling 3 quarts of oil is all you will need. I will recommend you to measure out how much you take out and put back in that much.
Thanks for the information. I bought 7 quarts of toyota AFS oil did the drain and fill only 3 quarts drove it 1000 miles did another drain and fill just because i had left over oils.
Is there an order to tighten the bolts?
I always thought there was.
I couldn't put the whole 3.7 gallons fluid was coming out of the dipstick
not gallons, 3.7 quarts.
Does the 2010 also 19 bolt pan?
Please confirm transaxle model no?
You still have old fluid in the converter
My truck takes 3 gallons so I'm sure this car takes at least one gallon or 4 qts. Totally absurd 19 bolts that's insane my truck has 14 and that's ridiculous.
Have you done a 2017 Toyota Corolla
Hi Thomas I have corolla 2010 I never change filter transmission about 230000 should I change filter now.
i would, in my opinion it will allow the trans to last longer.
At least remove the old one and wash it out with cleaning fluid...make sure you save the rubber gasket ring and get a new gasket for the actual Pan.
Darrin G. Filters are cheap. Cleaning them is not effective and you risk contaminating the clean side of the filter with particles that will damage the valve body.
What ATF fluid did you use? Is it Toyota specific?
yes it is, be sure you get WS . thanks for watching.
multi vehicle is enough
Where do i find the cup of power steering oil of a 2009 toyota corolla?
a cup? power steering fluid? i am not sure what your asking, but thanks for watching. if you have a question ask away, i will help if i can, but i am not sure what the question is.
It's electric. There is no power steering pump, lines, or fluid reservoir.
👍👍👍
How many miles between fluid and filter change?
Chromatic Aberration Fluid should be changed every 30-40k if you care about the car.

How about the ATF in the TORQUE CONVERTOR????????????????????
@Truett - that’s why this is a change not a flush.......
03:28 .. 03:51 .. 05:59 .. 06:32 .. 07:39 👍
thanks for watching.
Nothing like getting a wet gasket and throwing it on a sandy-dirty floor.
Gallons?
Where is power steering fluid
3.2 quarts not gallons
You know everything but do you know the easiest way to change wife?
Sell all your assets, transfer the cash to an offshore account then divorce
in the owner manual. says never change the ATF.
hmmm i would need to read that, clean fluid is always important. they sell filters and fluid for it, so maybe its reading something different. thanks for watching
That's because WS is "lifetime" fluid. In reality, WS has a weak additive package and is not synthetic (prone to oxidation at high temp). WS fluid is toast at 60k. You really should change it at 30k.
Sure...they want your business. It's a selling and marketing ploy. ATF does not last a lifetime, and over time it will accumulate microscopic particles, oxides, and metal shavings! Don't want an expensive "Transmission Job" at their Shop? Change your Tranny Fluid every 1 or 2 years or so!
Great music guy!!!!
