For those of you wondering the size for the hex is 6mm for the transmission drain plug
Wht about fill bolt size ??
@@conradosanchez7351 24
Here is a helpful tip. I leave the car overnight. In the morning, with everything at room temp, I jack up the front end so that the car is not level. I do this on purpose. When I drain, I get out an extra quart because the front end is higher. I measure exactly what came out and put in the same amount.
Literally just did that process. Drained an filled the pan 3x (waiting for the fluid to go back to room temp each time). Worked like a charm
my man!
You are awesome. I did that same procedure
Boo u kopeekatt
Thanks for the tip, I recently did my own oil change
Thank you so much man really appreciate what you are doing. I’m a big fan of you from Saudi Arabia I bought 2017 Camry XLE one and I brought it back home with me. It’s time to do the transmission fluid replacement and your video helps me alot🙏🏼🌷🌷
استخدمت نفس نوع الزيت اللي هو استخدمه في الفيديو ؟ وكم دبه عبيت منه ؟ اقصد كم لتر ؟
$150 2 years ago
i can just imagine what it is in spring 2023 great video
Flush is over $300 now, KY
Got quoted $500
So let me summarize everything about the transmission fluid change after watching some videos by Toyota master Technicians and save you a ton of time
1. If you have a sealed Toyota transmission or your dipstick is black, you do a drain and fill one time only every 6 years or 60,000m whichever comes first. If you have only 20,000 miles and it has been 6 years drain the the transmission fluid don't push it. If you love your car so much and you have money to maintain it religiously, 30,000 miles should be the soonest you do one drain and fill. Then just do one drain and fill every 30,000 miles or 6 years whichever comes first. Doing a series of drain and fills every 2 weeks actually harms your transmission and is basically you wasting your money.
2. If you have an older Toyota with a red dipstick you change every 30,000m or every 3 years you do just one drain and fill. The soonest you can do a drain and fill is 15,000m or 3 years. Changing your fluid too frequently actually harms the transmission. You want an equal balance.
Always buy OEM Transmission fluid unless you've consistently changed your fluid using a 3rd party with no issues. Buying a transmission filter every time is a waste of money. Especially if you are good with maintenance.
Coolant on newer Toyotas change every 5 years or 50,000m. If you love your car and want to drive it until you die and you have the money, you can replace it at 30,000m when you do your drain and fill with your transmission fluid.
Older Toyotas every 3 years or 30,000m for coolant.
Recommended always buy OEM fluids
God Bless
Thanks for that summary. I wish I knew this sooner I’m way past the 60k mile mark and will add new fluid ASAP!
I just measure what I get out and put that amount back in.
Thanks for sharing. I am confused though, why not measure exactly how much you take out and then put same amount back in? Then you wont have to do the temp measure and additional drain. I must be missing something?
What about cleaning the magnets and changing the filter and the dirt inside the pan
Thank you for this video! May I ask you what is the transmission fluid change interval in km? Also, where did you get that plastic adapter for the WS oil canister?
The ScanGauge II will allow you to measure the temperature directly.
I like attachment of hose for transfer ATF fluid, where can get it ?
Excellent work. You did it with minimal tools.
PSA: Listen to this guy and make SURE you can get the fill plug and drain plug off first. I bought all the tools only to find out the dealer cranked it on so tight I couldn’t get it off. And had to go to a garage anyway.
Yup! Always go for the fill port first so you're not stuck with a drained transmission that cannot be filled!
@@slamamsters technically with that particular design you can probably do it by topping it up via the drain hole while it's cool, then open the drain plug when it warms up to remove excess fluid.
Good video guide. Question. Where did you buy that plastic hose that fits perfectly on the 1 quart WS atf?
Make sure care is running when you check the temp and empty for proper level.
Thanx bro.
Big like to y from iraq🇮🇶🙋♂️

This also works for the 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Camry's too since they are all the seventh generation.
u dont need the infrared thermometer or whatever... just make sure u catch everything that comes out... measure it put the same amount back in... ur good
Uh only if the amount in there was the right level. Unless you bought the car new you never really know what the proper level is. So best to drain line he did
@@sirsweetness8332 - by filling it up and going through the proper procedure using the temperature while the car is running and draining the excess. Assuming what’s in there is the right level would not be the right approach. The only time that would be the right approach is if the car is brand new. But most people have no idea what level is in their car therefore assuming it’s correct would not be right.
The temperature is key to helping get the right level. This fluid expands when hot and when the car has been running around town, which might mean getting an inaccurate measurement for refill. So I believe the proper way to do it, is start the car, get the fluid temp up to between 94-113 Degrees F. and then draining the fluid (taking out both the drain plug and the straw) and then refilling with the same amount emptied. Unfortunately, the same procedure will have to be done a few times before your able to refresh all the trans fluid (because the drain pipe within the drain pan is higher then the base of pan)
macker0077 not really the issue... it is all the other places where there is fluid especially the torque converter. Pan fluid below the drain pipe has some too but insignificant in the overall picture
@@condor5635 Right, which means you have to do the procedure several times in order to get ALL the fluid replaced and the fluid when drained comes out new (pink). Not sure if that means just going thru the gears while the car is in the driveway...or actually driving the car around for a bit, letting it cool, then re-doing the procedure again. From what I understand there is 6 or 7 liters of fluid in these transmissions and from what I've seen, you only get 2 or 3 liters out upon doing the change shown in this video.
Where did you get the plastic tube that you screw on the bottle from?
Thanks
any part store
How did you know how much fluid to put in? Is it on manual the amount ? Also, where did you get the straw device ?
I do easy job to warm up in 10 minutes then drain the Transmission fluid! Take 2 quarts of Transmission fluids to refill Toyota Camry SE 2017 and Lexus Rx350 2015
That fluid was till pretty clean ,,,How many miles on that fluid before the change ????
We recommend doing flush so.we can charge you 183 for drain and fill.
You never know they even touch your car or not.
May be you just got a hot chocolate and a donut for $183
Some people says we measure the amount drain and fill back. I have three suggestions
1. Do it at room temperature
2. Make sure you are able to open the fill plug first. If you drain the fluid and unable to open fill plug, it's gonna be a problem.
3. Instead of measuring, do measuring and weight both. Take a pepsi/coke clear white 2Litre bottle. Remove the label, fill the bottle with the drain old fluid, mark it with a permanent marker. Now weight it. Note the readings. You can get the weight scale from Walmart in kitchen section for less than $10.
Drain the used fluid in a container, fill the same bottle with the new fluid, upto that mark. Weight it on scale. Add 30-40 gm more fluid as some of the fluid remains on the walls of drain pan and bottle.
Fill the transmission.
Never Ever do a transmission flush. Drain and Fill only!
Unfortunately True. This is what having no dip stick does to toyota owners. The straw like tube is your new dip stick.
Its so easy you can do it with sunglasses on your head.
Thank you!
No jack stands?
What about the filter?
Why don’t you drop the pan?Not only you will get more fluid out but you can also clean the pan and it’s magnets.Also with dropping the pan you can change the entire trans fluid in 2,3 rounds instead of 4,5 rounds since you are getting almost 4 quarts out .Also just remove the tire so it’s not so tight in there
This is a more routine (30K-40K) fluid change. Although, it would've been better to do this process at least 3 times (cycling the fluid after each drain & fill).
@@joshg4974 yes, but if he dropped the pan more fluid would come out. Instead of 1.5 quarts he could get out 4 quarts which means he could change the entire fluid in 2 rounds
Watch the care car nut and he will explain why you wouldnt want to flush the transmission @ahmedmukhtar6961
So now we change it? I was told it can’t be changed glad I watched this!
they said that because they assumed you will buy a new car when the old one hits 100k. Long story short, Mine is 140k without transmission fluid change. Will do it soon though since I want to keep it pass 200k.
@@Baebon6259 is it still ok at 140k? Also I see him put only two quarts, is that correct?
i would def change by 150... Car Care Nut channel says he sees those Toyota sealed transmissions give up after 150k without change.
@@Baebon6259 did you change the transmission fluid at 140k miles, is the transmission still good? Some say you take risk changing it after 100k. Looking forward to your response
Awesome at What Mileage Should be aprópiate to Replace transmission fluid??
Every 6 years or 60,000m. Earliest you can change it is at 30k miles. Make sure you use Toyota transmission fluid only. No need to change transmission filter waste of money
I was quoted 240 for drain and fill.
Once the transmission fluid is cool, why can't you put in the same amount of transmission fluid you took out?
You can do that as well. Gets a container with quarts measurements for old fluid so you know exactly how much new fluid to put in. That way the fluid amount is exactly the same
That's what I did, four times already. First at 25k miles then at 30k, third at 58k and last at 60K. Also on the first change I added 8 extra ounces.
@@sirsweetness8332 - ATF does not evaporate
Sir Sweetness - I did - go read any article about the topic. It does not burn off or evaporate plain and simple.... if you lose atf it is not because of evaporation. Please.
@@sirsweetness8332 - It’s hilarious that you think all fluids have a measure of water in them. If that were the case why don’t you see water in the fluid whether it be engine oil or ATF? Ever heard of something called density? Ever seen oil and water in a glass jar? Even if the oil has a minuscule amount of water in it that will not be material in causing levels to change. Might want to contact this business (amongst others) and let them know their working model of decades is missing a major cause of where ATF fluids go. I’m done.

Could you just remove the air filter box to get to the fill plug
No. Have to go through wheel well.
i bought my car brad new in 2016 and it has 160k on it. Never changed transmission oil on it once
Well u should change it asap b4 it's too late
Did you ever change fluid please let us know
Holy shit. They told you 189 and my dealer said 350. I still have 25000 miles left till my change. Where did you get your fluid at?
amazon, really cheap, or you can get it at the dealearship
My dealer sells it reasonably. I prefer to get my parts from the dealer, there are too many fake parts and fluids on the internet.
@@SiameseCheese this cvt is made by aisins so get the aisins fluid they only cost $6 a quart online
@@ahmedmukhtar6961 Online is great if you are sure the fluid isn't fake. at $6 a quart that's about how much my local toyota dealer sells it to me.
@@SiameseCheese oh no it sells at rockauto.com. And are you sure your Local Toyota dealer is selling that cvt fluid at $6 a quart?My local dealer is charging $95 for a 4 quart bucket.so 1 Quart comes around at $24 🤔 🤣
They charge now 220 in Dallas
That new fluid that came out at the end is mixed with the old, you need to do a flush and fill to properly change the fluid,
When you put it in drive do you sometimes here a click noise. Like a solenoid engaging? Mine is driving me nuts
ABS initialization, probably...
do you know when should we change the filter too? and what is your car mileage at when you change the oil?
I show the odo in the video ,almost 60k miles i did it 3 times
No filter. Sealed tyranny
@@paulwilson4636 incorrect.
@@paulwilson4636 it has a filter
lol Yeah there is a filter (more like a screen) but some if not all year models require the motor mounts to be taken loose and the transmission jacked up to get one of the bolts out of the pan. Don't worry about it, it'll be fine. Just change out some of the fluid periodically. It's not like an engine. There isn't sludge and ring blow by to stop up the filter. If you tranny is being ground up into tiny pieces stopping up your filter, changing the filter isn't going to help.
"We recommend doing a flush" *click*
My 2017 rolls back when in drive what can be the problem?
Never flush your transmission, drain and fill only.
@Torin Jensen hahahaha ok
Huh? Explain thyself Clituss?!
Stay away from flushes, not good for the transmission. You just want to refresh the fluid by doing a drain and fill.
i trust scotty Kilmer and he says never flush a transmission
@@jasnic2131 I also trust Scotty's advice
How about the trans filter ? If there is one on these I got a 2015 from what I heard
Yes. Everyone's too lazy, even the shops to change the filter. Oh, they might get dirty.
Very Informative video!.... Can you plz also mention what size and kind of tools you are using to open up transmission nut, Thanks.
@@janisb5522
I had to use a T-35 torx bit on the overflow tube, 6mm was too big and 5mm was too small.
@@janisb5522
Mostly out of curiosity, I just ordered a replacement (Toyota calls it a 'transmission oil filler tube') - and, lo and behold...it fits a 6mm hex perfectly. The one on my rav4 might be a manufacturing mistake - it's getting changed out on my next drain and fill.
@@janisb5522
Update:
just changed trans filter and the 6mm worked perfectly - don't know why I had such a hard time on my last drain and fill...conclusion: operator error...
@@atticstattic
Yeah. That's strange to have odd drain plug.
Good to hear that you changed the fluid.
One of the conspiracy theory of to change ATF or not.
Good luck.
Thank you❣
does the oil pours out after taking out the fill plug?
Didn't see how long you idled when checking fluid level on standpipe. So I assume temperature to check trans is 95-113 degrees Fahreheit? Or is it 95-113 degrees Celsius?
it depends on the temperature outside, but it's F
95 Celsius is hot over 200 fahrenheit. Would want to touch that with hand.
104 degrees Fahreheit or roughly 45C is bang on. 95-113 degrees Fahreheit not Celscius.
I understand that if you drain the fluid as you did, you only got 2 quarts out. But are you aware that the transmission has more than 6 quarts in it? So while this draining of 2 quarts helps somewhat, 2/3's (or more) of the fluid in there is still old fluid.
What Toyota ORIGINALLY said, is they were against "flushes", and they actually stated in the shop manuals around the years 2007 (when this no dipstick thing started), and at least 2012 and beyond, was that you were to do it YOUR WAY.....just like you showed there.......except.......you have to do it TWO MORE TIMES. You start, and run the engine to get the fluid circulating, and then go forward with a 2nd, and then a 3rd, drain and refill. I could not make something like this up. Check the shop manuals yourself. And even after doing it two more times you wind up with "mostly" new fluid, but even still then - some old fluid remains.
PS - I don't know why you bother to go through the gears with the shifter when you do it this way. You only drained the pan......the entire rest of the transmission is still filled with oil....old oil. So it's not like you have to get the fluid to circulate (as if it were dry).
If you just do a simple drain and fill, every 30,000 miles. Full fluid exchange every 6 years or 60k miles. No need to change transmission filter
It would be best to also drop the pan and clean it out and change the filter.
I had a flush on my Camry 3 months ago at a Toyota dealership and it was $290
Why is toyota making things more difficult
Because they are getting greedy and forgetting their roots.
Soon nobody will want to buy Toyota parts or vehicles.If they keep going up on everything.
Doing a flush is just few more steps. If you do that you can swap most of the fluid instead of just 2 quarts.
Flushing doesn't really do much more to help the fluid.
Trans fluid is a very good cleaner. It cleans and captures particles in the fluid and prevents them from damaging anything. So while yes you are removing more old worn fluid, you are dooming the new fluid to instantly be dirty again as the detergents act on what the old fluid could not.
Its best to do a change, drive for a week or two, do another change, and repeat. For a total of 3 trans fluid changes over the course of ~2 months.
This ensures not only that the fluid is new but also that there are no linger any contaminants left in the trans system.
@@Luckingsworth total capacity of the transmission fluid is 10 quarts. Drain and fill is like draining 3 quarts max (based on that alone it's a huge difference between draining and flush). Drain and fill is gradual dilution. Doing a fluid exchange you can take out 90-100% old fluid out. It's few easy extra steps than what you already did and you don't have to do drain and fill few times (which is partial replace allment of the fluid). I have done it in 100s of cars.
Total capacity is actually 6.9 quarts.
Do we need to change the filter??
No.
Do we have to leave the engine running when draining the warmed up transmission fluid at the end?
I'm wondering the same thing
yes
You changed 2qts in a 7.9 quart system?🎲
Waleyefish, about 2/3 of the fluid will be in the torque converter assembly…what you drain out of the pan is only going to be about 1/3.
Did you replace the crush washers on the fill or drain bolts?
No don’t need to
I disagree with the quantity of transmission fulid in the Toyota owners manual it says 5 quarts u only put two quarts that shows still three quarts of old fulid did not came out
you cant get all the fluid out with a drain and pour there is over half the fluid left in the tranny you need to do a flush if you want all the fluid new
how much mileage on the same camry is the best time to do this drain and fill
First time about 60,000m or 80,000m max,100,000m is risky,then do every 40,000m after. Some say 30,000m after 1st drain & fill,up to you.
Hey I got a 2017 camry le with almost 94k miles on it should I change transmission fluid I'm not sure last time it's been changed bought it at 84k miles.
Did you change the fluid?
@@ceciliaabdalla4954 yes but I got a different car now
U didn’t replaced the filter to me that’s a waste on money 💰 doing it like that for some reason it has a filter in my opinion
Drain and fill is probably good if you do it every 2, 3 years. It only replace half of the ATF.
Repair shop will probably flush out all the ATF. Which is good for long time.
Drain & fill is roughly 40% of all fluid in the trans & converter all together. Every 3ys is what i'll do.
Every 30k miles. Never flush bad for transmission
It scares me how the plastic thing has to be removed as well,what if it breaks?
Even toyota is getting cheaper
It won't break. The torque spec is 15 inch/pounds which is almost nothing. The purpose is to serve as the over-flow tube.
The fluid drain now is $464 where I live
Probably that is why they took dip stick away .
Thank you for sharing. Is the car running when you first drained it?
No
Dont ever run a car with no oil in the transmission, it will burn up fast.
My Toyota is at 145 k never cyanide’s transmission fluid . Is it safe to still do it with the high mileage ?
I don’t know😅
Seriously please be very careful and ask an honest Toyota master technician. Don’t go with the internet advice
where do you get the bottle cap with the tubing please?
I got one at Wal-Mart but auto stores will carry them or look online.
I just used a hose pipe and funnel.
My Toyota dealer quoted me $600 for a transmission change. Yeah, no thanks. I did it myself and only paid $55 for 4 quarts of Toyota ATF WS.
Thank you
Only two quarts for Camry transmission?
2013 Lexus rx350 also came out 2 quarts. Change it every 20k miles. 1 quart for every 10k miles. It's not hard to change. 1 quart is about 10$.

Hello
I have a problem with my transmission, my camry has 150 thousand miles and I took it to flush it and now the transmission is failing. What I have to do? Change the oil?
Reiner im sorry homie. Given that you havent done anything with your transimission to maintain it like displayed in this video, flushing it could cause severe slipping and damage. So where your at, the dirty transmision fluid could gave been the only thing keeping it from slipping snd functioning worse than it was.
@@brendanw5663 my friend please contact me! Do you have time to help me? I appreciate it!
@@reiner250 I think at this point, using some Lucas stop slip might be your best bet, if you have a mechanic that you trust ask them for some advice as well. I’m not a certified mechanic but work on my own car and do all the repairs and maintenance in my own.
There is a valvoline high mileage transmission, regular transmission oil not recommended, sludge combined with oil, made oil a bit ticker, after flushing and using regular oil, That is the result, must use high mileage transmission oil, is a bit thicker.
Reiner you did not mention where you had the work done. If it was any quicklube or they did not put toyota atf ws fluid that could be your issue.
Please help me. the Car is Toyota camry 2017 automatic before one time gear oil change after that gear bringe some problem by that cause gear is changed .Now i want change gear oil but i afraid like before may be bringe some problem. What i do now
Fill plug has the Toyota type stamped on fill plug.
Hold it. How many miles and did it start shifting bad right after the fluid change. For a newer model camry you may need to go to the dealership and just have the memory of the transmission reset. They have the equipment to do it. I advice not to do it yourself
You can't trust car jack or any jack it's a big no no !!!! Always use jack stands as a safety measure !!! Do not risk your live !!! OMG !!!
It’s weird to me that there’s no dipstick
Sorry to say, but this is total waste of money, it takes over 6 litres and you drained only 2. You already done the hard bit, just over fill by extra 2 litres then open the return hose to the radiator and start the engine. Take two litres out stop the engine and over fill with another 2 liter, repeat again with one litres, you have a full brand new oil.
The point here is u want the fluid to stay a bit fresh but still have the clutch particles remain in the fluid
Is it the same transmission for the 4 cyl vs the 6 cyl? Does that matter?
It's not the same transmission. I have the V6 and a dip stick ( easy to fill through the tube). You are going to use approximately 3.5 quarts of fluid. I got a measuring jug from Walmart to make sure what I took out. Also used the Valvoline full synthetic ATF.
@@Dangbo3030 what are you averaging mpg in the v6?
Wait, arent you suppose to have the car at a certain temperature and change it while the car is on?
Plastic oil pan. Plastic valve cover. Plastic inside the transmission too? So difficult to change the ATF. What happened to the dipsticks? That's why I don't want any of current their cars. No, thank you.
They recomend the flush because it can make a worn transmission stop working. Which is then your fault and a very very expensive fix. Scumbags.
Why 2 only ? I tho 7 quart
Full service is 7 quart. normal service 3 quart
💪💪💪💪💪💪
"we recommend the flush so that your transmission fails in a year." nice job lady. You're evil.
Oh, yours isn't cvt. Mine is calling for almost 8 quarts
thats for the whole transmission drain and fill only does about a 1/3 of the fluid
Why did you change your transmission fluid becoz Toyota engineer says life time warranty
no - it's not a 'life time warranty'
typical salesperson on the phone
Be better with zero music... Just coz you can, doesn't mean you should
Good morning friend, the oil you used is not the correct one for the CVT box, the ATF is for transmissions prior to 2014 with a non-CVT box, you will have to change it to the truth.
Thats a 6 speed gear box. Not CVT
150$ for 30 mins of work
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. This Site states " not affiliated with Toyota." 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!!
The CZcamsr is using the wrong fluid. That's ATF fluid instead of CVT fluid
He using Toyota WS fluid. The Fill bolt he took out also had WS stamped on it. It was the correct fluid
By drain and refill 2 quarts at a time, you will need to do that about 20 times to get the fluid looking good again, this is exactly why a flush is recommended. Your procedure is not a good way to change fluid, you may have changed a quarter of the fluid and look how dark the little fluid you let spill over after your change, pretty bad procedure, sorry.
@MysteriousOklahoma so do you recommend drain and fill only every 30,000 miles?
Wow. This is exactly what you should not do. As a former auto technician this false information annoys me.
-You only replaced 2 qts of fluid when it has 10 qts. Yes, 10 qts!
-You didn't replace the filter, so the new fluid is now contaminated.
-You left 8 qts of old contaminated fluid to mix with new fluid.
-You are causing more wear to your transmission by being cheap and trying to save $190.
This why auto shops stay in business.
🤦🤦🤦
You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about. He is planning on doing the same procedure 3 times. Which wont be perfect but will help. A flush will destroy your transmission if you have any spots that were previously cracks filled with sediment and gunk from worn parts. Anyone with a brain knows this. Also while yes this is not a total change there is zero chance of harming your transmission by simply replacing a portion of old fluid with fresh new. There isn’t even any science to back your argument.
@@bidenkidsniffer4926 Flaws with your argument: "doing the same procedure 3 times" is still only 6qts. 🤦"spots that were previously cracks filled with sediment and gunk from worn parts" is the ACTUAL cause of the transmission being destroyed. 🤦 The dirty gunk and sediment filled trans filter is still installed with new fluid that is now contaminated. 🤦
This is why you replace all fluid and filter at the required interval and not cheap out by doing shady tree procedures like this.
