Same color coming out because only 25% fluid got changed, I did my RX350 by disconnecting cooler line after replace fluid in pan, then push the test fluid out, 8 quartz total, works good.
It will shift good as soon as the new oil mixes with the old oil that was in the torque converter. Better to change the oil once again between 10 k and 15 k miles.
If your vehicle has a dipstick, go to Valvoline. They will suck out the fluid, replace with new fluid, suck fluid again until they put 8 quarts of new fluid total. This will get out more of the bad fluid. They will check the dipstick and top it off perfectly. One machine does it automatically by putting a thin tube down the dipstick hole. Costs about $170
Not by doing a drain and fill. This only changes about 30% of the fluid in an automatic transmission. This should be done every 30k miles. In this case do a drain and fill 2 weeks after the first and agin 2 weeks after that. This will slowly replace the amount of new fluid. Afternthat I would change it one last time and change the filter. Dropping the pan will replace more of the fluid but after slowly raising the % of new fluid you will be okay by that time.
It’s ok the CHANGE the fluid 3 quarts at a time every oil change don’t just flush it all at once bc that will remove all the clutch material out that help the trans shift properly with old burnt fluid… I did a Tran fluid change 3 quarts replaced with synthetic trans fluid on my 1998 Lexus GS300 an it’s been 4500 miles an I have a oil change coming up and I’m going to change the trans fluid again with the same synthetic trans fluid again when I change my oil with Mobil 1 Ext Perf 20k Mile Oil… Normally I do my oil changes between 3-4k to keep sludge an varnish down an remove it but money has been tight so I’m changing it at 5k miles this time…
I drain and fill 3.5 litres on my ‘15 dodge dart every 30k miles. I can easily take care of all the fluids, anything else, I need a real man to take care of the difficult stuff.
So…you only put about 2-3 qts of new oil in a box with a total capacity of at least 8. So that will only make a minor difference, even if you remove the pan you won’t get 100% of the oil out.
You don’t want to flush a high mileage car. You want to keep the particles to compensate for the west and tear of engine. Flushing it can create problems such as slipping
@@Jerrymc1975 I think the idea that loose friction material suspended in old wasted fluid is useful for creating proper lock up in clutch plates is a silly idea with no basis in testing or logic. Get proper fluid in there to get the operation back to normal spec.
A second drain was done off camera a minute or two later because I forgot install a crush washer the initial time. Luckily, it was still within the appropiate temp check range.
uhgh my nissan altima is so much eaiser to change the fluid on,, and it has a dip stick, i miss it, now i got a 2011 avalon, can work on it as much, i changed my radiator on my altima on my own and stuff
@@walidventayen5575 Depends on the type of transmission that’s in it. I’m not as familiar with the CVT’s, so I can’t speak to those, but if it has a regular automatic transmission, you might be okay. How many miles are on the vehicle?
Yes, it either has a CVT or a 6-speed manual. Changing the CVT fluid will only change a portion of it like and automatic. I would be doing that every 30k miles on a CVT. They create a lot more heat and need regular fluid changes.
Just had my 2014 corolla cvt fluid done at a Toyota dealer this past Friday. Was scared there would be complications. Everything’s been fine since and it seems to drive quieter. Had 100,600 miles on it though, not sure what yours is at.
Great Vid. After my trans oil change on my 06 LS430 here's jerks/slips in shifts. I'm planning to use half quart Luka's Transmission Fix however I reckon its too thick to pump into the transmission fill port. Plus no dip stick for transmission oil on these cars. Any tips?
@@shoaibmushtak Have you verified the fluid level? It could also be an ECU issue. The 04-06 suffer from hard shifting when the ECU starts to go bad. There is a guy in Dallas that rebuilds them (Relentless Motorsports TX). I would avoid additives like Lucas.
To make it easier to add the Lucas Transmission Fix, mix it with one quart of regular transmission fluid to thin it out. Then, you can pour it through the dipstick into the transmission.
Trying to decide this on my 2009 Lexus is 250 AWD. At 160k I’ve never did any transmission services on the vehicle and I want to change the fluid or have a carb cleaning done. Having a little drivability issues when accelerating. Lexus denied the carb cleaning
@@elijahkearse5892 A few months later and my Lexus is still shifting smoothly. I’d recommend draining the transmission and refilling it like I did here. I recommend using genuine Toyota/Lexus fluid.
I wouldn't hesitate to change the trans fluid. Toyota recommends every 60k. There is no carb on your car. Run a PEA based cleaner (Techron, Regane, Redline) in your gas if you are worried about injector fouling. Top Tier gas and regular oil changes. 160k is only broken in. Did you change plugs at 120 with OEM ?
@@falconwarrior82 trannys rely on friction. If you change the fluid on a vehicle with VERY dirty fluid, you run the risk of dislodging needed particulates. Watch The Car Care Nut channel. I did it to my RX300. Now the tranny slips. Is ruined. Google it.
Amsoil Signature Fuel Efficient fluid is much better than WS fluid. WS fluid is not even synthetic and does not last long. Changes color after 20,000 miles losing it directive qualities. Also WS is way overpriced for what it is.Way too many harsh cleaner chemicals in it, the odor is overpowering.
Aisin WS fluid is a full synthetic and not more than Toyota Lexus. They built the trans so I trust the fluid. Changing fluid is the way to go. Get better performance every time. Any rough shifting immediately after change is the shift computer adjusting to the return to spec.
My 07 accord K24 with 342k miles still has the original trans fluid in it. 95% highway miles, shifts perfectly.
Same color coming out because only 25% fluid got changed, I did my RX350 by disconnecting cooler line after replace fluid in pan, then push the test fluid out, 8 quartz total, works good.
Changed mine today at approx 150,000miles and it shifts much better after the first two test drives after. Hope it works well until the next one
Excellent video: clear, concise, and well-recorded.
The higher up fill hole is for the factory to put a pre measured amount of fluid in.
It will shift good as soon as the new oil mixes with the old oil that was in the torque converter. Better to change the oil once again between 10 k and 15 k miles.

This vehicle does not have a dipstick. That's why he used the check port.
This is almost as easy as an oil change. If you car has a dipstick it's very easy.
This video has been approved by transmission shops everywhere. They will be seeing a whole lot of you real soon.

@@jimsgaragetoysWanna bet? Slipping and hard shifting is guaranteed. Never change your tranny fluid if you haven’t done it religiously.
No one should fear changing the fluid. Just get the level correct.
A sealed transmission just means that there is no dip stick.

I would have let it idle and drain again. Nice work!

Transmission fluid dipstick is by the oil dipstick in my o3 ls 430 I never knew it was there until this week had the car for 3 years
@@richblicky124 The 01-03 had a dipstick. The 04-06 got the upgraded 6-speed auto with no dipstick. The two transmissions also use different fluid.

@Farhad_ZKD no dipstick in 04-06. I did it from the fill port under the trams.

You are insane using @ floor jack to hold one end of the car that you are going under up. No you don’t put in 3 quarts if you only got 2 out.
Watch at 1.25 speed😅
