For those of you wondering the size for the hex is 6mm for the transmission drain plug

Thank you so much man really appreciate what you are doing. I’m a big fan of you from Saudi Arabia I bought 2017 Camry XLE one and I brought it back home with me. It’s time to do the transmission fluid replacement and your video helps me alot🙏🏼🌷🌷

Here is a helpful tip. I leave the car overnight. In the morning, with everything at room temp, I jack up the front end so that the car is not level. I do this on purpose. When I drain, I get out an extra quart because the front end is higher. I measure exactly what came out and put in the same amount.

Good video guide. Question. Where did you buy that plastic hose that fits perfectly on the 1 quart WS atf?

Excellent work. You did it with minimal tools.

Thank you!

What about cleaning the magnets and changing the filter and the dirt inside the pan

Thanx bro. Big like to y from iraq🇮🇶🙋‍♂️

The ScanGauge II will allow you to measure the temperature directly.

I just measure what I get out and put that amount back in.

That fluid was till pretty clean ,,,How many miles on that fluid before the change ????

$150 2 years ago i can just imagine what it is in spring 2023 great video

does the oil pours out after taking out the fill plug?

My Toyota is at 145 k never cyanide’s transmission fluid . Is it safe to still do it with the high mileage ?

What about the filter?

Make sure care is running when you check the temp and empty for proper level.

My 2017 rolls back when in drive what can be the problem?

Where did you get the plastic tube that you screw on the bottle from? Thanks

So let me summarize everything about the transmission fluid change after watching some videos by Toyota master Technicians and save you a ton of time 1. If you have a sealed Toyota transmission or your dipstick is black, you do a drain and fill one time only every 6 years or 60,000m whichever comes first. If you have only 20,000 miles and it has been 6 years drain the the transmission fluid don't push it. If you love your car so much and you have money to maintain it religiously, 30,000 miles should be the soonest you do one drain and fill. Then just do one drain and fill every 30,000 miles or 6 years whichever comes first. Doing a series of drain and fills every 2 weeks actually harms your transmission and is basically you wasting your money. 2. If you have an older Toyota with a red dipstick you change every 30,000m or every 3 years you do just one drain and fill. The soonest you can do a drain and fill is 15,000m or 3 years. Changing your fluid too frequently actually harms the transmission. You want an equal balance. Always buy OEM Transmission fluid unless you've consistently changed your fluid using a 3rd party with no issues. Buying a transmission filter every time is a waste of money. Especially if you are good with maintenance. Coolant on newer Toyotas change every 5 years or 50,000m. If you love your car and want to drive it until you die and you have the money, you can replace it at 30,000m when you do your drain and fill with your transmission fluid. Older Toyotas every 3 years or 30,000m for coolant. Recommended always buy OEM fluids God Bless

Thank you❣

When you put it in drive do you sometimes here a click noise. Like a solenoid engaging? Mine is driving me nuts

Thank you

Didn't see how long you idled when checking fluid level on standpipe. So I assume temperature to check trans is 95-113 degrees Fahreheit? Or is it 95-113 degrees Celsius?

How about the trans filter ? If there is one on these I got a 2015 from what I heard

Awesome at What Mileage Should be aprópiate to Replace transmission fluid??

Could you just remove the air filter box to get to the fill plug

No jack stands?

This also works for the 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015 Camry's too since they are all the seventh generation.

So you take the filler cap off when done to check level and temp?

Do we have to leave the engine running when draining the warmed up transmission fluid at the end?

I was quoted 240 for drain and fill.

do you know when should we change the filter too? and what is your car mileage at when you change the oil?

Did you replace the crush washers on the fill or drain bolts?

how much mileage on the same camry is the best time to do this drain and fill

I disagree with the quantity of transmission fulid in the Toyota owners manual it says 5 quarts u only put two quarts that shows still three quarts of old fulid did not came out

thanks

Hey I got a 2017 camry le with almost 94k miles on it should I change transmission fluid I'm not sure last time it's been changed bought it at 84k miles.

Thank you for sharing. Is the car running when you first drained it?

wrench size?

Very Informative video!.... Can you plz also mention what size and kind of tools you are using to open up transmission nut, Thanks.

where do you get the bottle cap with the tubing please?

PSA: Listen to this guy and make SURE you can get the fill plug and drain plug off first. I bought all the tools only to find out the dealer cranked it on so tight I couldn’t get it off. And had to go to a garage anyway.

So now we change it? I was told it can’t be changed glad I watched this!

They charge now 220 in Dallas

Its so easy you can do it with sunglasses on your head.

💪💪💪💪💪💪

Should you do this when the car is cold or hot?

Do we need to change the filter??

Oh, yours isn't cvt. Mine is calling for almost 8 quarts

I do easy job to warm up in 10 minutes then drain the Transmission fluid! Take 2 quarts of Transmission fluids to refill Toyota Camry SE 2017 and Lexus Rx350 2015

i bought my car brad new in 2016 and it has 160k on it. Never changed transmission oil on it once

You changed 2qts in a 7.9 quart system?🎲

Why don’t you drop the pan?Not only you will get more fluid out but you can also clean the pan and it’s magnets.Also with dropping the pan you can change the entire trans fluid in 2,3 rounds instead of 4,5 rounds since you are getting almost 4 quarts out .Also just remove the tire so it’s not so tight in there

Holy shit. They told you 189 and my dealer said 350. I still have 25000 miles left till my change. Where did you get your fluid at?

That new fluid that came out at the end is mixed with the old, you need to do a flush and fill to properly change the fluid,

what about the filter? ding ding

"We recommend doing a flush" *click*

Only two quarts for Camry transmission?

Is it the same transmission for the 4 cyl vs the 6 cyl? Does that matter?

It would be best to also drop the pan and clean it out and change the filter.

My Toyota dealer quoted me $600 for a transmission change. Yeah, no thanks. I did it myself and only paid $55 for 4 quarts of Toyota ATF WS.

U didn’t replaced the filter to me that’s a waste on money 💰 doing it like that for some reason it has a filter in my opinion

Once the transmission fluid is cool, why can't you put in the same amount of transmission fluid you took out?

u dont need the infrared thermometer or whatever... just make sure u catch everything that comes out... measure it put the same amount back in... ur good

Please help me. the Car is Toyota camry 2017 automatic before one time gear oil change after that gear bringe some problem by that cause gear is changed .Now i want change gear oil but i afraid like before may be bringe some problem. What i do now

Wait, arent you suppose to have the car at a certain temperature and change it while the car is on?

Why 2 only ? I tho 7 quart

The fluid drain now is $464 where I live

Never flush your transmission, drain and fill only.

Hello I have a problem with my transmission, my camry has 150 thousand miles and I took it to flush it and now the transmission is failing. What I have to do? Change the oil?

I had a flush on my Camry 3 months ago at a Toyota dealership and it was $290

Doing a flush is just few more steps. If you do that you can swap most of the fluid instead of just 2 quarts.

Why is toyota making things more difficult

It scares me how the plastic thing has to be removed as well,what if it breaks? Even toyota is getting cheaper

Why not just measure what came out and replace ?

It’s weird to me that there’s no dipstick

Why did you change your transmission fluid becoz Toyota engineer says life time warranty

Drain and fill is probably good if you do it every 2, 3 years. It only replace half of the ATF. Repair shop will probably flush out all the ATF. Which is good for long time.

150$ for 30 mins of work

I understand that if you drain the fluid as you did, you only got 2 quarts out. But are you aware that the transmission has more than 6 quarts in it? So while this draining of 2 quarts helps somewhat, 2/3's (or more) of the fluid in there is still old fluid. What Toyota ORIGINALLY said, is they were against "flushes", and they actually stated in the shop manuals around the years 2007 (when this no dipstick thing started), and at least 2012 and beyond, was that you were to do it YOUR WAY.....just like you showed there.......except.......you have to do it TWO MORE TIMES. You start, and run the engine to get the fluid circulating, and then go forward with a 2nd, and then a 3rd, drain and refill. I could not make something like this up. Check the shop manuals yourself. And even after doing it two more times you wind up with "mostly" new fluid, but even still then - some old fluid remains. PS - I don't know why you bother to go through the gears with the shifter when you do it this way. You only drained the pan......the entire rest of the transmission is still filled with oil....old oil. So it's not like you have to get the fluid to circulate (as if it were dry).

You can't trust car jack or any jack it's a big no no !!!! Always use jack stands as a safety measure !!! Do not risk your live !!! OMG !!!

Plastic oil pan. Plastic valve cover. Plastic inside the transmission too? So difficult to change the ATF. What happened to the dipsticks? That's why I don't want any of current their cars. No, thank you.

Be better with zero music... Just coz you can, doesn't mean you should

Good morning friend, the oil you used is not the correct one for the CVT box, the ATF is for transmissions prior to 2014 with a non-CVT box, you will have to change it to the truth.

We recommend doing flush so.we can charge you 183 for drain and fill. You never know they even touch your car or not. May be you just got a hot chocolate and a donut for $183 Some people says we measure the amount drain and fill back. I have three suggestions 1. Do it at room temperature 2. Make sure you are able to open the fill plug first. If you drain the fluid and unable to open fill plug, it's gonna be a problem. 3. Instead of measuring, do measuring and weight both. Take a pepsi/coke clear white 2Litre bottle. Remove the label, fill the bottle with the drain old fluid, mark it with a permanent marker. Now weight it. Note the readings. You can get the weight scale from Walmart in kitchen section for less than $10. Drain the used fluid in a container, fill the same bottle with the new fluid, upto that mark. Weight it on scale. Add 30-40 gm more fluid as some of the fluid remains on the walls of drain pan and bottle. Fill the transmission.

Sorry to say, but this is total waste of money, it takes over 6 litres and you drained only 2. You already done the hard bit, just over fill by extra 2 litres then open the return hose to the radiator and start the engine. Take two litres out stop the engine and over fill with another 2 liter, repeat again with one litres, you have a full brand new oil.

typical salesperson on the phone

"we recommend the flush so that your transmission fails in a year." nice job lady. You're evil.

They recomend the flush because it can make a worn transmission stop working. Which is then your fault and a very very expensive fix. Scumbags.

The KZfaqr is using the wrong fluid. That's ATF fluid instead of CVT fluid

By drain and refill 2 quarts at a time, you will need to do that about 20 times to get the fluid looking good again, this is exactly why a flush is recommended. Your procedure is not a good way to change fluid, you may have changed a quarter of the fluid and look how dark the little fluid you let spill over after your change, pretty bad procedure, sorry.

I went a local repair shop to have the trans fluid in my 05 Camry changed at 100k miles . (This was 10 years ago.) His parts store where they get their parts asked "why?". He told me on the Trans dip stick it said "this trans fluid should never be changed." I saw it myself!! The dealer here locally wants to change it every 30k miles. More money in their pocket. My 14 Camry is a sealed transmission. It's not even listed in their Maintenance book. This Site states " not affiliated with Toyota." I think everyone on this site that is telling you to change it--- is either a mechanic or affiliated with a dealership. Under normally operating conditions, leave the dam transmission fluid alone!!

Wow. This is exactly what you should not do. As a former auto technician this false information annoys me. -You only replaced 2 qts of fluid when it has 10 qts. Yes, 10 qts! -You didn't replace the filter, so the new fluid is now contaminated. -You left 8 qts of old contaminated fluid to mix with new fluid. -You are causing more wear to your transmission by being cheap and trying to save $190. This why auto shops stay in business. 🤦🤦🤦
