I changed mine today. I was surprised how fast the fluid temp went up. (Air temp was about 50f) I would suggest getting a cheap scanner so you drain at the proper temp.
4:32 You need to emphasize one important step. Before draining, you must make sure your car is LEVEL. Using a leveler with a magnet and attached to the bottom frame. There is no way to judge if your car is at correct level. Good video overall.
How did you check the temperature of the oil before opening the drain plug to let out the overflow oil? What did you use to spray and clean the oil that was on the transmission?
Great job Ali- great way to keep the transmission running for a long time. If you just measured out used trans fluid and put in exactly the same amount (assuming no leaks) would you still recommend drainage of the overflow?
When we drain the transmission oil, should we drain it with the cold engine or warm up the engine first? Also, when we drain the overflow, should the car be started while draining or turn it off?
Hi Ali, thanks a lot, this was a helpful video and I followed it to change the fluid today. I lost the 10mm hex bolts and the gasket on the 24mm fill bolt. Can you please help me by refering to these part numbers? I am having a tough time finding them on toyota parts website
I got a cheap elm327 odb2 tool that uses Bluetooth to connect to my phone, then an Android App like Torque, Car Scanner or ELM OBD2. This will read live data from sensor to get accurate fluid temp reading. You could also use infrared temp gun on bottom of fluid pan, but prob not as accurate.

Yeah it needs to be between 104°F - 113°F when you drain the overflow fluid. If the temp is lower than this range, you'll drain too little, if it's higher, you'll drain too much.
Alimech, is their a change in the future, you could demonstrate a complete transmission filter and oil change on your 2017 toyota camry? Enjoy your channel. Larry
Great video, thanks. I am somewhat confused. If you take out only 2 quarts, why not only put 2 quarts back in rather than putting 2 quarts back in and having to drain the extra 1/2 quart? Thank you.
You don't know if the last tech changing the trans fluid put back in the spec amount for the entire system overfilling it. It may have way to much in it right now causing increased pressure when warm without enough room for heat expansion. You want it to be warmed up and the car to be level so it will overflow the right amount. This also checks if you did not add enough none will come out so you know your low.
Can you drain the overfill with the engine off? Or does the engine need to be running before removing the drain plug? I removed the drain plug and turned on my car not sure if it’s the other way around
what is the average amount of gear oil to be filled in toyota camery 2017, when changing transmission oil along with changing filter.?? please mention in liters,,
@@GlobalSecularism Of course. Get it up to temp, cycle through all gears (park neutral, reverse) leave it running in park, and undo the plug on level ground. You want to see a small amount of transmission fluid coming out. If a lot comes out, too full. If almost nothing comes out, its underfilled
Awesome, Our 2010 Camry LE is also no tranny dipstick. Gonna try this. How do you clean your hand tools, as in this vid you have AT fluid all over your gloves and on the hand tools. Thanks!
Do I hear the car running towards the end of the video ? While you are draining out the excess oil at the end of video. Or the car is not running while draining excess ?
ADD 3.5L That should be the correct level assuming is not leaking. Smart way of doing it, is use a funnel and bucket to keep the old fluid. pour it into a jug so you know how much you took out. Mine was 3.5L to be exact.
It's better to put some more then drain to be sure ifs correct amount, but if u put same as its been drained, maybe it was low before and you will put less amount again
hey alimech i bought my car new with 3 miles on it and have never gotten my transmission changed its 96,226 mileage right now when should i get it changed Ali ?
Kernelbadness is right, do this procedure 2 times, because only half of the fluid will be changed and then mixes with other, after doing this oil flush take the car for a ride and then come back do it again, so you replace about 6 litters of fluid
My 15 Camry is 100K mileage and the transmission oil hasn't been changed. Is it too late to change? or still should change it? Because I heard something about if it were to change, it could result in more problem.
At 100k you should remove pan to clean magnets and change pan gasket & transmission filter also. Only around half the fluid comes out whether you use drain plug or drop pan.
Hey Ali! Great video. I recently purchased the vehicle at 109k miles and I am not sure if they ever changed the fluid. Is a drain and refill still recommended?
I did everything and went to drain it after i filled it back-up and more came out than should have. So I went to remove the yellow straw and the allen part of it was stripped. So odd, cause i put back in, hand tight. So now I’m screwed.
That is drain and fill you would need a mechanical hook up to transmission cooler and sucks it all out 6.9 q this you seeing is drain and fill @@nathanielburnett9863
Its never to late to change it your just gonna have to do a few changes more often till the fluid ie clear. When you chnage the oil you dont get all the fluid out some of it stays in the torque converter. So you gotta do more frequently changes till the fluid is clear then you can change every 40k miles or so.
No you should never add a gallon because you're not draining a gallon. You need to measure what came out and add only a half a quart more than what came out. Start the car warm it up shift the gears. Taken for a short drive and then while it's still running remove the drain plug and whatever excess overflow will come out shouldn't be much. Put the plug back in that's it.
This is a great video thanks I am a new subscriber to your channel I have 2 questions. Is this process called drain and fill or flush? How much transmission fluid does the Camry 2013 le need ? I appreciate your answers
I have 115k miles on my camry and transmission fluid has never been changed, should i change it now? how can i check if it has black fluid or normal fluid without draining?
@@AliMECH what are the possibilities of transmission slipping after fluid change ? I’m concerned that it could happen I bought an used Camry 2015 with 115k miles runs good and everything should I do the transmission oil change or leave it as is ? What you recommend I drive around 25 to 30 k miles a year
@AliMECH follow your exact steps. Tsmission been stuttering at 20-30mph. Drained got 4 quart, filled 4 quart, drove around lightly drained(took off only the nutt this time no plastic "straw") on level ground got 2.5 quarts. Hopefully my level ok and not underfulled.
The only way you know if the level is correct is to overfill it. If you perfectly fill it or underfill it, fluid will not come out and you won't know how low it is. Overfill it and drain to the appropriate level, now you know it's perfect
These transmission are called sealed, so when you drain the fluid only 2 liter comes out of 6.5 liters I like to keep adding 2 new litter every 30k to keep the transmission clean But if I let it till 60-100k, 2 liter change not gonna effect that much, only flush has to be done
@@AliMECH A dipstick doesn't even weigh a pound and the metal removed for the hole to the fluid would almost make it a wash! Very stupid indeed & could cause a transmission to go bad unnecessarily.

Hey Ali, great video! I have a 2012 Camry and believe the process is basically the same.
Yep. 2012-17 Camrys are the same. 2018 was redesigned with a 8 speed transmission.
I ended up pulling out 2.5L and put back in 2Liters. No point in draining excess ??
What do you use to check the temperature of the fluid and make sure it’s 95f-113f when draining the overflow?

Would you use BG Transmission fluid and BG Transmission conditioner instead of Toyota WS fluid?
Thank you for your video....is excellent. Does the ATF level must be checked at acertain temperature?
Yeah it needs to be between 104°F - 113°F when you drain the overflow fluid. If the temp is lower than this range, you'll drain too little, if it's higher, you'll drain too much.
Nice, easy and simple explanation 👌 job well done

After the test drive do you drain the the extra half liter while the engine is on?
Yes, it has to be on, to circulate the fluid and drain the accesive

Easy process as shown but the main thing is fluid temperature
When you took the straw out initially some fluid came out....does that mean the transmission was overfilled before you started?
Yes, and you the engine is on some of the oil circulating, and the rest will be drained

I wouldn’t use a cheap Amazon electric transfer pump. Those things can introduce metal shavings into your transmission. Use a hand pump instead.
