Hello my friend. I truly love this video that you made and how well you explained it in detail. I myself am a retired auto tech of 48 years and have seen so many changes in the auto industry. Most of my career was on domestic vehicles but having my own repair shop for 15 years I ended up repair and servicing imports as well, as my GM customers all had an import as well. I have been retired now for 8 years and I just bought a 2014 Corolla with the CVT trans 1.8 liter so I can reduce the mileage on my truck and for comfort reasons as well. You know as well as I do that we like to do our own service and repair because we trust our self no matter how old we get. I have to do this service on jack stands these days, which is a little rough at 68 years old. You made one of the best videos that I have seen as of yet on this site my friend. Thank you for your time in making this info video for all of us and look forward to many more.

I spent a couple weeks collecting the tools I'd need to do a fluid drain and fill on my 2015 Corolla. My one bit of advice is to do it when the transmission is unquestionably cold. Get the car into a level spot and leave it there, then do the drain and fill in the morning. That will greatly reduce the chances of under filling the transmission, which is easy to do. You also don't need this silly pump apparatus. A small funnel and a couple feet of 1/2" vinyl tubing works great. I didn't lose a single drop of fluid putting it in this way.

I literally had to leave there. But the tensioner was working fine replace it anyways only a $20 part. It was the gasket and added high temperature silicone. Ended up removing the whole pan so I can remove most of the fluid and filter.

I disconected the cooling lines after draining and refilling the pan, than added an extra half quart on top of what it came out and used the cooling line to shoot fluid out without going back in and contaminating the new fluid, started the engine and drained 1 quart out and added 1 quart back in till new fluid came out while going thru the gears (P,R,D). Once fluid is clear make sure you got the correct amount inside based on the amount drained vs added. I believe you can do a better flush while using less fluid but having an assistant makes things easier. I've done this method on an 2018 Elantra, Sonata, Lexus GX470, 2017 Ford F-350 diesel, 2010 Kia Forte with success using the same Valvoline MaxLife ATF FLUID with no issues at all. Keep in mind those transmissions are not CVT but the process is similar except for the ATF FLUID.

After adding whole 4L can nothing came out when checking level . I needed 2 cups from second can just to have extra in there to set level accurately.

Are you sure the Dealer did the drain and fill, and not a full blown flush with the high powered flush machine, which is the worst thing they could do. Every Mechanic I have watch on You tube says Do No do the Machine flush, as it will force high pressure fluid into your Tranny, and can do damage. I am very hesitant to take it to the dealer for this unless I know they will do the drain and fill method only.

I bought my daughter a 2014 Corolla LE and it's been fantastic. I do all the maintenance myself but WILL NOT do this. Unreal how labor intensive and complex this entire process is. I drive a 2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6 Coupe with the 6 speed automatic and changing the transmission fluid is extremely simple. Easier than changing the oil. Just have to measure what comes out thats all. So simple and amazon sells honda automatic transmission fluid for 36$ for 4 quarts. I get around 3.5 to 4 quarts out every time. Why Toyota insists on this level if difficulty is beyond me. Same with the filter tool for taking the oil filter off that I had to purchase just to get the dang thing off. Honda's are so much easier and simpler. Still love Toyota and lexus and always will because they are proven brands, but come on Toyota, give us do it yourselfers a break 🤦♂️

I just did my 2015 Corolla CVT. I removed the pan and put in a new filter(strainer). I got 5 quarts out(4.75 liters). I got that when removing the filter and also letting it drip for an hour. That means you need 6 quarts. You replace the 5 quarts and add half of the 6th quart then the draining of excess fluid using the fluid temperature controlled method. See other videos on here for that. Did this at 130K after just buying the car. No problems after days of driving.

But fear not, they have developed a less accurate way to measure. Jumper some pins, do a transmission handshake with the gear lever to turn on temperature mode and the D light will come up or flash at temperature ranges. Too hot? Shut off engine and wait for cooldown and try again. Like someone said earlier. Pita bread. Jk. But there is a TSB whitepaper on it.
