Thanks for the kindness John, I appreciate the words! I would've still been driving this car if I didn't lose it in a car accident 🤕 but I'm now hoping my Honda Accord will last me until 300k miles!

3 bars on the gauge.

güera dawg no dump a quart over du fluido...chekey...checkey

Did the jerkiness reduce? 😊

I wouldn't want to do that on a '18 Camry just cuz it's a bit trickier than this. I commend you for trying

Not a prob, just showing my method along with some kickass music :)

My recommendation is that at least change your fluid. A majority don't change their fluid but to the few who do, changing even 40% of the fluid to new will help your transmission last longer. If you can change the filter I would do so too. Many don't do it, but you'd really only need to change it once in your lifetime. You would have a bullet proof ultra reliable car afterwards.

all fluids breakdown. dont buy the lifetime fluid gig. the lifetime of the fluid ends when your trans burns up. who pays?

I've heard that it's not a good thing to do a complete fluid flush. Teeny tiny bits of metal inside the transmission channels may flake off and get lodged here and there inside. Over time the transmission will "become used to" having those flakes in it. Flushing out the trans and getting rid of those flakes may cause more problems with shifting etc. Just doing a regular flush like what is done in this video is the recommended routine. Though I've heard 60k miles is fine for doing a fluid change. I guess if you want to do it at 30k it won't hurt.

That sounds like a great strategy!

It's almost always 3.3 quarts, I've got a Honda Accord that has the same

Hi i have a 2012 scion tc runs new but its has 106200 miles on it and im not the original owner the question is..can i change automatic trans fluid without problems?

I didn't see one myself. But be sure it's really on there tight, so that no fluid will leak out after your job is finished

Yes, replace the washers on both the drain plug and fill plug. You can buy the washers at your local dealership or at AutoZone.

I just used VHT Nightshade on em actually :) pretty seamless!

@@EJREAX alright

Michael Guerrero check our eBay man. I got led Lexus style lights for mine.

Honestly you're paying for the "labor rate", not the actual labor itself. The techs have a specific rate for each job and this is how much they charge

Because, the transmission capacity is 8.1-8.8L oil. With drain and fill you get only 4-4.4 L.

I can suggest looking at the video titled "Toyota Transaxle Fluid Check-No Dipstick": It was posted on 4/15/2015 by Weber State University. That is the correct and professional way to change/check the fluid level on that type of transmission. Just a suggestion..........

@@phillipkelley3513 You are correct. This guy doesn’t have a clue what he is doing.

It's better to change it, even if you're over the transmission change interval. My dad's Nissan died on him because he waited too long to do it (should be done every 30k miles/48k km)

I thought you need to get it at 104 degrees before getting the fluid out

@ I saw videos doing that, I honestly just tried it this method and it worked for me.

My 2015 camry se is at 130K and haven’t changed it yet, honestly toyotas are that good that you don’t even need to but it’s better for the overall health of the car so I think ima change it soon and just to be safer

Hats off for using Toyota WS and not Maxlife or Amsoil. If you buy a Toyota because it is so well engineered and reliable and then don't trust WS fluid even though it has the friction modifiers, additives and viscosity the engineers wanted. Always use OEM fluid and change it regularly.

Every 96000km

@@Michael-zs9ox all Toyota models automatic transmission at 96000km (60000 miles). Trust me this is my job I know. I wouldn't trust my car to dealership.

90,000 miles for a 19 Camry se? That’s awful Really late no?

@@JohnDoe-fs6lz 96000 kilometers 60000 miles

If you want to keep the car for as long as possible with the same transmission (and no issues) then I suggest you change the trans fluid every 30,000 miles. I have sent used transmission fluid in for laboratory analysis many times and according to the results the trans fluid starts to break down (reduced lubricity, thermal transfer abilities) right around 30,000 miles and continues to degrade from that point forward until it's changed out. What the owners manual recommends is NOT for the longevity of the transmission but rather to make it look like the car has a very low maintenance cost. All major car manufacturers started playing that game back when automotive publications started publishing "cost of ownership" numbers which had a sway on which cars interested buyers would end up purchasing. So manufacturers would just up and change the service intervals from 30,000 to 60,000 or 90,000 to make it look like their cars were so much cheaper to maintain because you don't need to change the fluids as often. All B.S! Most idiotic thing of all... now some car manufacturers are stating that the transmission fluid is "Lifetime fluid" (yup, even Toyota!) and is "good for the life of the car" and even worse they are removing transmission fluid dipsticks so that car owners don't have easy access to check the state of the trans fluid and the reason is pretty obvious..... they would be able to see how burnt the fluid is and raise a ruckus about how it can be "Lifetime fluid" when it's getting burnt to crisp. What they don't tell you is when they say "Lifetime fluid" what they really mean is that the fluid will last the life of that transmission which will be a short life!

Do it every 40-50k if you can. I upgraded to a 2018, I did my maintenance @50k mile.

@@EJREAX what about this???? I read this guys service procedure...........is this transmission thermostat really a big deal? ****You also need to press on the end of the transmission thermostat located just under the radiator. There is a hole in the skid shield. Press on the end of it with a flat screw driver and then insert a small pin to lock it in the open position. This is necessary as the external cooler is only open to the ATF fluid cooling circuit when the fluid is at higher temperatures. It is necessary to make sure the external cooler is also full of fluid when correctly refilling the transmission as per Toyota Tech Info procedures.

This is not the standard way to do it, I just showed how I did it. Car has to be "level", fluid has to be a specific temp (I believe between 99°F and 110°F) when you can drain and when you fill you have to let the car run til the fluid is the same temp to truly be accurate in your procedure. I clearly didn't care enough to do all that 🤭

Car should be running. Fill until it starts coming out of that tube. Basically the tube is your fluid level.

You just have to play it by ear like I did in the video, if the car is cold you can measure by quarts removed and add the same amount back in

@@EJREAX , I was just on another channel and I learned something. That little green straw isn't just a pointless straw. It's your level indicator and it's important. There is a specific procedure to follow in regards to temperature so you know you are at the proper temperature to let the level indicator tell you when you have the right amount of fluid in the car.

@@raybrensike42 yes it is my man, there's a procedure but I didn't do it 🤣

@@EJREAX. How many quarts did you use? I have 4 but I want to know if I need to buy more

@@katanamast279 you should be good with 3 quarts man. 4 is more than enough for spare fluids

That's what I did for this man. It's up to you what you're comfortable with

No, it is ATF WS WS is stamped on the fill plug. You will see that when you move that plastic cover out of the way.

Thanks for watching my man! Appreciate the props!

Thanks for the tip! Useful for other Camry owners certainly

Lmao thank you sir. Just being real here, first and last time I'm doin this 😂

Nah I didn't, I just did the drain and fill method

I'm not sure man, this is the first time I did this job. But it should be the same

I'd do a transmission fluid change AT THE DEALERSHIP. Because if anything goes wrong with your transmission afterwards, then you can place the responsibility on them :)

@EJ ReaX is it too expensive to do it at a dealership ? The car is already paid off entirely

@@kendrickmorales7744 it's gonna run you about $300 or so. But it's more about peace of mind, you'll have that service record to keep

Drain and fills only

I'd def do it if I were you. It's really late in terms of intervals but you can do it every 30k miles from this point forward.

@@EJREAX thanks, someone at Firestone said not to do it since it's over 100k Miles and I never did it previously. He said doing it will mess up the transmission. It's best to not change it. 🤔

@@ebo7310 at this point it's your best discretion. It's risky to drive it nonetheless, if you have really old fluid in there don't do a flush, just a change. I didn't do a proper fluid change on my older Nissan awhile back and it died after 30k miles.

@@ebo7310 If a fluid change causes your transmission to act erratically, that means your transmission was already damaged. All the fluid change did was remove some of the friction material from the fluid. That friction material is what was keeping your transmission shifting smoothly.

Yes sir! Fav franchise on the PS2!

You can change the filter if you’d like, but you’ll need to remove the transmission pan to access it. It’s a fairly easy job, however slightly messy.

Lol sorry ninong, no private messaging on KZfaq 😆 just Facebook! Thank you for watching!

You should change it.

No. If problems start after changing the fluid, that means your transmission was already damaged.

You actually can't. That's why this method is stupid

Have the vehicle on a level surface. Warm up the transmission to 104 to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Once your transmission reaches temperature (between 104 and 113 degrees), remove the drain plug. If nothing drips out, add more fluid. If fluid is dripping, allow it to drip out until it almost stops. That’s what the greenish straw tube is for. It’s a measuring device set to a specific height, that height is the proper fluid level, when measured at a temperature between 104 and 113 degrees.

You're better than I am 😢

This isn't a CVT, even the new 2018 Camry is an 8 speed automatic transmission

What if I told you that was the extension hose??? But anyways thank you for the comment!

Appreciate the feedback :)

Because they want this car to be inaccessible to the average Joe 😒

because also they want you to take it to the $tealer$hip.

@@soundmind192 unfortunate but that's the truth 🥲

Not for me!

Because he doesn’t know what he is doing.

Not nevessary

Mainly... Cuz I have no idea how to lol

I just found out that Toyota suggest not changing the fluid. Apparently they had an issue with slippage after doing so. So now they say it’s “good for the life of the trans”

@@KylesDaddy100 idk how long the lifetime of the trans is, I'm not gonna trust it. I'll stick to my 30k intervals and hope for the best 🤕

Why no need would be a total waste and poor decision

@@comodice905 yeah, preventive maintenance is always a waste 🤣 Have you ever seen trans fluid with 150k miles? Especially in the cvt transmission? Toyota only says this is “lifetime” fluid and filter because they didn’t want to recall when they realized that transmissions were slipping after being serviced at 50k miles. That’s the ONLY reason they say it’s lifetime. I call bullshit!

It doesn't drip at all anymore after a while. This doesn't take out all the fluid, just the amount from the bottom of the car

The rest of the fluid is in the torque converter. If you want to get every bit of fluid out and have completely brand new fluid, you’d have to drain it via the transmission cooler lines or do this process shown on video 3-4x, after each change, drive a few miles so the fluid circulates.

@@FlexSZN23 That's exactly right!

Oh I see. Thank for tips

Trust me, I agree. Swapped this Camry out REAL quick!!

Lol I guess it's pretty important. But I swapped out this car, had more issues than I want to explain

I think you mean Nissan, I have seen toyotas go 350k on original fluid.

Where did you hear this fallacy?

“Most”. Um, no

Lol I followed his video 🤣 thank you though

Which video exactly?

@@booras56 That's funny.... Why are lions, lions ?

I agree with that bro! Never believe the lifetime guarantee BS

Appreciate the feedback 👍🏻

Agree. This is the incorrect way to change the fluid.
