- In this video is my 2016 toyota camry with about 96 thousand plus miles (mostly highway). I just thought it strange that transmission fluid could last the lifetime of the vehicle. I think its a play on words if ur transmission goes there goes the life of your vehicle. I went on Toyota Nation Forum and some people say change it 30 to 50 thousand others say every 60 thousand. so i feel long over due.

I appreciate all the effort you made into both explaining and videoing this project. That you let the car sit overnight before removing the fluid so it would be at a the same environmental temp as the replacement trans fluid makes complete sense. From what I understand that small plastic rod inside the drain plug cap acts as an upside down dipstick.
The only change I might adjust to your technique would be to get the car level on the ramps and rear wheels on two jack stands to get a more complete trans fluid draining (you did mention that not all the fluid got drained because of the incline), otherwise a very clear explanatory video for how to do this job. Thanks
Yes i agree but i didnt have anymore ramps at the time
Sorry to disagree but jacking the car up at the front only, gets a lot more fluid to drain into the back if the pan.. It's considerably more effective than doing it level. If you are replacing the drained fluid with exactly the same amount you drained, you don't don't need the car be level back to front...That's only for a full flush with temperature meters etc....... I tried using the recommended torque on the filler nut, but it seemed to much, so I just did it nice and tight and snug..... A liter of Valvoline WS !!!! fluid at walmart is $5...3 litres will do a 2017 Camry with some left over
thank you sir for your effort of 3 hours to show us how to do the fluid change for just $50-60 instead of $200 shops ask
Your welcome something about a fluid that last the life of the vehicle in a sealed transmission kept bugging me.
Nice job. Car care nut also has a comprehensive video. You can put a wire in your ob2 port and it will tell you correct operating temp and then you can back out the plastic dip stick.
Yeah Car care nut is way more descriptive ad concise. some of what i do is me just plain thinking or trial an error
I have the same car and did mine exactly how you did yours. There is no reason to check level if you never had a tranny leak to begin with. Room temperature. Measure what came out. Put same amount back in. Done. Nice job. However, shame on Toyota for putting the fill plug in a pain in the ass place. Im sure they did it so owners would not want to DIY this and take their cars to the dealers to get this done.
yes most definitely, when the service tech kept telling the fluid is good for the life of the car i figured it was a play on words lol
I know your the one changing it yourself & I’m looking through a screen! Your atf looks decent!
Measuring is a good way to refill but you fill until the fill plug overflows. And PEOPLE PLEASE RECORD WITH YOUR CAMERA SIDEWAYS
Good luck to your next planned ATF filter and fluid change! From watched the way you did the drain & fill, I suggest your seek your local dealership to preform that service.
Im still good so far im at 118,000 miles give or take, an i drive about 50 miles at least 4 days out the week.
you are only getting a fraction of the oil out anyway most of the oil is trapped in all the passages and clutch of the transmission so if you are accurate you can just drain some out and put same amount in but if you get it warm and are level you can check level with that plastic tube
Great video Kenny powers
thank u
Next time, PLEASE RECORD WITH YOUR CAMERA SIDEWAYS and hold it on the subject. Most of the time it was pointed at the ground or the fender
Yeah i need to spend more time making sure the camera at a good angle cause i can see but its no point if everyone else cant see.
You did exactly I did my es350 luxes. My opinion no obd, no temp gun needed and no need to drain excess. Just add what came out. I did extra that is after pouring 2 quarter new oil, I ideal car for 1 minute, and drained another 2 quarters, a total of 4 quarters to make it old oil better mix. What do you think.
Lexus takes 6.8 quarters found in manual.
Sounds good to me. I think lexus GS will be my next car when i get more money
Don’t EVER have your transmission fluid flushed. Drain and fill only.
Thank u , yea a saw on Toyota Nation forum months back a Master Tech said the same thing
Great view
I bought 2 graduated clear containers, pour new tranny fluid in another, arranged side by side for comparison.
For accuracy you did better. Me I leave both fluids for few hours they both reach room temperature and measure pour equal amount. No need extra unless you dropped few on the floor.
I always felt like some spilled some where or i didnt account for what ended up on m hand so that why i put a lil smidge
I have a 2016 Camry altise petrol and the transmission is messed up can we replace with 2015 year model car transmission? Or it has to be the same year model ?
You should be able to switch it but make sure its the same type of engine 4 cylinder to 4 cylinder or v6 to v6 transmission
For my toyota is recommended dexron 2 fluid if j put dexron 6 will be the problem or not?
I wouldn't put anything other than what came with the Car originally ur transmission might not be able to handle dexron 6
What was the point of the ramps if you were going to jack it up and remove the wheel later? 😂
Yoooo this made me so angry with myself . the ramp was to be able to get up under the front and drain it , later on I realized i had to take off the front driver side wheel to get to the fill ot back with fluid 😌😌😌
Rear wheels on the ground? I read some articles, they recommended vehicle should be raised horizontally.
I read the same but im stubborn as well wanted to do it my way lol
Yes, car MUST be level to get accurate fluid level if you’re doing the proper procedure with the car running and transmission in proper temp range. If you’re replacing exactly what you took out, doesn’t have to be. Just know that if you’re using this method, you better be sure it was properly filled to begin with. If you bought the car used in don’t know it’s history and don’t know if the tranny fluid was messed with before do not use this method.
Does your Camry have a slight whine in the 0-40 MPH range. I have a '15 and there is a light whine while shifting...mine has 65K...is this normal?
There is no whine that i notice. I will listen when I ride home this evening. That to dont sound normal.
Love your simplicity. My last Toyota was a 2014 Sienna by. Very hard to just change spark plugs not to mention transmission fluid change. Never buy Toyota again.
Glad it helped
After cursing for a few days and done it a few times it's almost like second nature. Plugs only needed to change at 100,000 miles. On my 2014 Camry that one oil pan bolt was a PIA, almost impossible to remove, more impossible to install and no way to torque it to specification. I'm sticking with Toyota at least I know what I'm getting at as I had so many problems with American and European vehicles.
@@kimchee94112 There i just not many american vehicles that last like a toyota unless u willing to spend alot of money
how much transmission oil did you put it on? Is it until it starts to spill from upper fill plug?
Asking because some of my friends recently bought 2015 Toyota Camry, and I didn't see the transmission fluid stick ? That makes me wonder how to check the fluid level (or leave it to the God in hope that the level is fine?)
@@nitinlad1994 Before i did anything i put the car on the ramp and let it sit over night. then after i drained it i measured how much came out, and i put back that same amount plus a quarter pint roughly (not to much). reason i left it over night was i wanted the fluid coming out to be the same temp as fluid going in so it wouldnt be much difference in volume
Not 1/4 it's a 3/8 ratchet just for future reference. If people follow this video and try to use a 1/4 inch drive ratchet they will break the ratchet more than likely.
Ooo thank you, let me go back and see if i can put an onscreen edit
All Toyota Dealer Service They want you to Come Back and Buy a New Car very 5 Years and That why The Trainmission Fluid last for 5 years and They Do Not want You Drive Your Car For Ever. and They Do Not want to hear your Car Runing Good and Their Shop will be closing soon. and They are Worry now.
I keep asking what's the lifetime of the vehicle and a master tech in one of the forums said when your vehicle gives out that's the life of it lol
Why do few you guys have to throw some curse words in your videos its NOT too nice to throw words out there like that when you have young kids that view things & have to hear this rubbish.. completely unaceptable....
Im not gonna say I didn't curse cause more than likely I did probably out of frustration or i said it casually not realizing that i said it cause im so use to cursing. Imagine going all your childhood not allowed to curse then you become a adult still dont curse but then you join a job where majority of the people curse in mild conversation. No excuse and on the same hand this video wasnt for kids
Video not clear bad Video
Im using a One Plus I should put the video on pro mode
