As a DIYer I appreciate your recommendations for Toyota ATF WS , transmission plug crush washers, funnel & hose refill system, and will maybe get a few extra 2-piece plastic clips for the plastic shield just in case. Thanks for your video!

Toyota recommends 60K miles to change the transmission oil in prius and corolla hybrid. about 4 qrts.

Thanks! I love your garage setup with pinup swimsuit posters.

Thank you so much for the great, instructive video. I'm ready to do my own.

Thanks for the heads up very informative 👍

Aisin the company that built and designed the transmission for Toyota recommend 30000mile fluid changes

thanks for making this video, very helpful

You are showing the INVERTER DRAIN PLUG time showing 2:31/15:44 while you talk about the Transmisssion fluid change?

Hello , I have doubts regarding the interval for the oil change in the CVT gearbox of a hybrid TOYOTA PRIUS+1.8 VVT-I HSD ECO. How often do you think it's advisable to change it? Best regards

What are the torque specs for the transmission drain plug & fill plug? Both 29ft lb or different?

Can I change my transmission fluid without a lift like can I use those plastic ramps?

I have not changed the transmission oil of the car till now, it has run 200000 miles.can I change it now?

Awesome. What size are the clips for splash pan?

I have 2010 in 124k should I change the transmission oil or wait till hit 150k ?

No transmission filter on these???

Thanks

How much oil is your 2010 burning? We have a 2010 also, and its burning almost 2 qts each 900 miles. Lots of other 2010 owners i've talked to are burning oil too. Seems like a defect.

Hi how much needed to fill up how many litres please thank

Hello and greetings, if I may ask if you changed the fluid cvt Does it add performance while driving and save fuel?

Thanks for the video. 🫡😎

What size tube did you use to fill the transmission fluid?

Hi, when we check the oil lv, we need to strar the engine or not? Thank you!

Jim: I note that you bought Toyota WS ATF to accomplish your fluid replacement in your Prius' eCVT. The following will help establish that Amsoil "100 Synthetic" Signature Series Fuel Efficient ATF Fluid is vastly superior to the Toyota "Full Synthetic" WS ATF Fluid (made by Exxon Mobil). You can compare the Safety Data Sheets between Amsoil and Toyota fluids and you will find the Toyota WS ATF (and true of the vast number of full synthetics) is mostly composed of hydrocracked-petroleum oil, a Class III Synthetic (extra-refined petroleum to mostly eliminate impurities, but it doesn’t get totally get rid of then entirely). Amsoil Signature Series doesn’t contain a drop of petroleum oil, but a pure chemical mixture of Class IV Synthetic, known as polyalphaolefins (PAOs) and Class V Synthetic (such as Esters), plus top-shelf additives. Toyota lists the Flash Point of their WS ATF Fluid as 347° F (175° C), whereas Amsoil's Flash Point is listed as 435.2 F (224° C), so Amsoil holds up to the heat far better than the Toyota WS ATF. Another convenience factor of the Amsoil "100 Synthetic" Signature Series Fuel Efficient ATF Fluid is thay it is available in collapsible bags making installation a snap (without the need for a pump that only provides a slow fill operation)! The difference between a Full Synthetic and a 100% Synthetic? Rafe Britton, a former Lubrication Engineer at Mobil and the creator of a number of highly educational KZfaq Videos under the heading of “Lubrication Explained,” states in order for an oil company to call its oil product 100% synthetic, it must be composed of either a Class IV Synthetic (PAOs) AND/OR Class V Synthetic (such as Esters), while being completely devoid of refined petroleum. Since 2004 I have exclusively been using 100% synthetic oils, fluids and gear oils made by Amsoil. In my 2013 Subaru Tribeca I use 5W-30, which has a Pour Point (PP) of -58 F and my Toyota Camry Hybrid uses 0W-20, which has a PP of -63 F. I have never experienced any problems starting my vehicles any longer using 100% synthetic products . I also changed the 100% Synthetic ATF in both my vehicles at about 40,000 miles (the Multi-Vehicle ATF in my Tribeca’s transmission and power steering reservoir has a PP of -63 F, while the Fuel-Efficient ATF in my Camry Hybrid (with a similar eCVT as your Prius) has a PP of -85 F. The moment I drove the Camry after the installation of the Amsoil ATF (without any other services being performed on my vehicle), I not only detected the vehicle was running a bit smoother, but also experienced increased power upon acceleration. More importantly, my EV light was coming on more often and staying lit longer (which of course signifies my car is running electrically from the battery, while the gas engine isn't operating) Also around 40,000 miles, I changed the gear oil in both differentials in the Tribeca with Amsoil 100% synthetic 75W-90 Gear Oil (that has a PP of -45 F), which ran much better at any time than the original full synthetic gear oil from the Subaru Factory. I also changed the Coolant and brake fluid in both vehicles to Amsoil. Another benefit of using Amsoil (other than the great performance), my vehicles are covered by the widest warranty in the business regardless of the age and mileage of your vehicle, even if this was the first time trying Amsoil (as long as your vehicle was in good mechanical condition at the time you first started using Amsoil). For those of you seeking a less expensive ATF, you might consider Amsoil "100 Synthetic" OE Fuel Efficient ATF Fluid, which isn't available in the easy-to-pour pack (only the conventional quart or gallon plastic containers). The OE ATF has the same Flash Point 435.2 °F (224° C) as the Signature Series, but a higher Pour Point at -54°F (-48° C) compared to the Signature Series (at -85 F). The lower a Pour Point, the better for running your vehicle in cold temperatures. The OE must be changed according to the manufacturer's specifications for your specific vehicle, however, the Signature Series will go double the distance (than the OE) under severe-driving conditions. For those of you that have a vehicle that doesn't accept a Fuel-Effecient ATF, you may consider the Amsoil 100% Synthetic Multi-Vehicle ATF (in both the Signature Series and the OE). They also carry 100% Synthetic in both their CVT fluid and Dual-Clutch Transmisson Fluid. I had tried a variety of full synthetics over the years. I began to utilize Mobil 1 for several years thereafter, until I found Amsoil being sold by an auto parts store that is no longer in operation. After I personally emptied the Mobil 1 and I put it in the Amsoil in my car about 20 years ago, I was blown away with the increased performance, better fuel efficiency and the overall quietness of my engine. For full disclosure (as probably guessed right now), I am an Independent Amsoil Dealer (all dealers of Amsoil are independent contractors, as opposed to employees of Amsoil). . If consumers wish to buy the Amsoil products as a Preferred Customer (PC), they will get the oil at a 25% discount, plus free shipping when they spend $100 (plus receiving a $5 coupon for every $100 you spend). It only costs $10 for a 6 month PC membership (or $20 a year) and there is no requirement to purchase (as there is with so many companies offering a membership for a preferred customer program, where there is an automatic shipment involved). If you are tempted to try Amsoil, I invite you to visit the official website of Amsoil and apply to become my Preferred Customer, by kindly utilizing my name (James Norris) in the box underneath the question that asks “Did someone refer you to Amsoil? If so, please tell us.” Then in the next box they ask “Have a Referral Number? Enter it below:” I kindly ask that you include my Referral Number of 1420935 in that box. If you can write down my name and referral number, before you eventually decide to exit this webpage, it will be appreciated (so that it will be at your fingertips when you get on the Amsoil website). You can also write me an email addressed to AutomotiveBuff at my gmail address (in case you have any questions).

How often and how many miles do you change transmission fluid?
