Excellent video. I think I'm more optimistic about using the laser heat gun, so long as you factor in the fact that it will read a couple of degrees low. On the v4 Camry, the temp range is actually 95 to 113, which is a big enough window. Just run the car until it's 95 (the computer would be reading 98-100), and replace the overflow plug when the fluid runs to a trickle. That should be accurate. The tricky thing is that the temperature will be going up steadily, so you've got to finish up before your heat gun is reading 107 or so.

[@ptinker106]

Had to do this on my wife's Beetle. What I would suggest is to fill the car up to the suggested fill amount and then tighten plug. Turn the car on and shift through the gears multiple times. Then when the proper temperature is reached, take drain bolt out and wait for stream to become a trickle. If nothing comes out, then turn car off and add more fluid. Wait for car to be at proper temperature and repeat. If the temperature is out of the safe zone you won't get a proper reading.

Car manufacturers like to make things difficult to maintain!

[@npolite22]

Yep and a waste of fluid. So much for caring about the environment.

[@asilaydying672]

Yep they do that so only they can maintenance it or have you with that your transmission fluid is good for the lifetime of the car lol

[@mikesartin]

Manufacturers set maintenance schedules to get the car out-of-warranty as efficiently as possible. With proper care an maintenance, today's cars should last until you are bored with them. I happen to have been getting bored at 200 000,00. I am going for 500K with the new one.

For those who want a Complete (Trans, Torque Converter, and Radiator-Cooler) fluid exchange vs an approx 40% pan exchange, the following 2007 RAV4 approach SHOULD be applicable to Most makes and models: 1.) Remove the plastic shield under the front of the vehicle. Note, new assorted plastic push-clips are recommended. 2.) The radiator cooler transmission fluid out-fall is on the drivers side approx 3/4" OD, 3/8" ID rubber hose with spring clasp clamp -- EASY to see and access! 3.) Disconnect the hose and attach an extension line to a translucent 1gal jug in an catch pan (for overflow/spills). 4.) The steel return line may drip into a second catch pan. 5.) Snuggly attach a clear extension line to the dip-stick tube with a funnel. (I inserted a clear plastic kitchen "baster" keeping the refill level from overflowing at top of the "baster"/funnel). 6.) Start the engine and put in gear (automatic) until approx 1/2 gal OLD is collected and turn off engine. 7.) Fill approx 1/2 gal NEW. 8.) Repeat for approx 2 1/2 gals until bright pink is dispensing. 9.) Reattach radiator/trans Return line. 10.) Adjust fluid level to the low side of the "Cold" mark on dip-stick (so you can top-off to the Hot mark). 11.) Drive vehicle until transmission is up to approx 115 deg. F and adjust fluid level to "Hot" mark. 12.) Reattach the plastic shield using new plastic push-pins. 13.) This should replace the Trans, Torque Converter, and Radiator Cooler with ALL New Fluid. NOTE: For Sealed transmissions attach an extension line with funnel to the steel Return line (instead of the non-existent "dip-stick tube"). Happy motoring!

I have a 2012 Camry with the same engine and tranny, if I do a drain and fill on it every 40 or 50k miles then is changing the filter necessary? I wanna keep my car running as long as possible. Thanks

No, I have done that with many vehicles and have never had tranny issues.

[@royhobbs785]

[@737mechanic]

@@royhobbs785 If you are going to replace the filter you do that after you drain it. As long as you don't have any transmission issues and the mileage is low enough you can get away with not changing the filter.

@@737mechanic mines is a 2010 Camry LE 2.5 with the same tranny. 92k miles and shifts good. Do I do a drain and fill as well as replacing the filter and clean the magnets?

[@TheManic.5-OH]

You don't need a scan tool, you can use a temp gun at the very back end of the trans pan, just clean it well before starting and make sure you let the car cool completely. Also, when you go to the trans, don't just plug it right when you see fluid coming out, it needs to be 'trickling' out, because the capacity of the trans pan will overwhelm the overflow tube at first, and you need the fluid level to settle before plugging

[@737mechanic]

The problem with using the temp gun is I have seen up to a 15-degree temp difference between what a temp gun shows vs what the scan tool shows so I have a hard time trusting a temp gun.

[@mml1224]

well get a new temp gun or dont buy em at wmt dude @@737mechanic

[@ItzNicky295]

How bout a thermometer on the oil coming out? No scan tool neccesary.

[@737mechanic]

How would you know when to pull the plug, if you pull it to soon you will be putting the plug back in multiple times until you finally get it to temp and then you may have almost all the fluid drained out by then.

[@imatalkin4358]

Could you measure what comes out & add the same amount back?

[@737mechanic]

Yes, you can but keep in mind if the trans was below or above the correct level it will still be after you are finished.

[@chad282]

Yes if its cold fluid

[@ronaldmyers2042]

Why not drain old fluid (measure what came out) button it up and put same amount of new fluid back in? BTW how many miles on that Camry because the fluid looked really dark.

[@jamalelyyan7432]

Did you tried this procedure????

[@nickchodor239]

Cause as the years go on the original fluid burns off so it may be less than what actually has to go back in.

Total newb question here...why did the fluid quit flowing for a bit when he started it up?

[@737mechanic]

Because it gets sucked up into the transmission.

[@tristanarwenaiden]

You did not shift the gears.

[@hootiemack350]

So after doing this I got a p2759. Do you think maybe it's still a Little low on fluid? Maybe I didn't get up to a high enough temp when adding fluid... Any help is appreciated.

[@DuckMcDuckinson]

104-113 F is the proper temp. You should’ve drained around 3 quarts if you have the U760 trans. Put 3.5 back in and let the excess drain at the proper temp.

[@josephcebula2983]

how much should a dealer charge for this service.. My 2014 LE has 73000 miles. I’m 70 yo. Can’t do it myself.

[@737mechanic]

About $200.

[@bobg3221]

They quoted me a little over 200 bucks. You don’t have to go to the dealer most independent auto shops or repair shops. Will do it as well as long as they use the fluid that contains WS which most of them will know what you’re talking about it’s a full synthetic fluid, most of the independent shops will charge way less to do this type of service. I’m going to get mine done. Tomorrow morning for 180 bucks out the door I would do it myself but unfortunately, we are just getting over a hurricane so I have to have a dry place to do it. Unfortunately it will be still breezy tomorrow and it will blow fluid all over so that’s why I’m taking my car to the shop and having it professionally done and also I don’t know when this fluid has been serviced or it’s been serviced so I don’t know the correct amount that’s in it

He just underfilled it by letting the temp get to high and he didn't run through the gears with the fresh fluid......

[@profesional_cop]

If anything he has it ever so slightly overfilled. Dude serviced it properly

[@bobg3221]

Yes, he might’ve served it properly, but you are initially supposed to put it through the gears. He did it a little bit different than what I’ve been seeing but still close enough. Hopefully his transmission will last longer but initially yes you have to put it through the gears that’s with any transmission fluid change on any vehicle.

[@bobg3221]

I’ve actually never seen it done like this the way I’ve been watching all these other master mechanics with Toyota clearly lift up the car put it on jackstands blah blah blah go for your fill plug first to make sure you can actually fill the transmission when you drain it Then if everything is OK with that, then you proceeded to take the drain plug and let access drain first then take the straw out and let the rest drain measure very carefully. What comes out into the drain pan example 2 1/2 quarts come out you put 3 quarts in, start the car shift through gars slowly repeat a couple times go out underneath the car while car is running and in park check temperature 95° to 113°F that is the safe zone with car still running. Undo the drain cap drain access fluiduntil it starts to trickle replace drain cap snug tight, clean area with brake clean, wipe clean you’re done at that end go inn wheel well snug up your fill cap spray that with brake clean wipe clean put clip back in on back end of splashguard tighten the 2 10mm bolts job should be complete. You don’t even have to remove the tire or you can just go pay $180 at a shop and have them do it make sure they do it by watching step-by-step and keeping your eye on them. No worries. because honestly, by the time you buy the fluid and everything you need to do the job you might as well just go to a shop and have them do it either way or go to the dealership. It’s only $200 at the dealership at least for me anyway and yes, that’s Toyota dealership obviously

[@bigdbassn4489]

Why don't you just measure how much you drain out and put that same amount in?

[@737mechanic]

Because if it is low to start with it will be low after you finish filling it.

[@bobg3221]

If you overfill it drain access out again do not keep it in there. It has to be right on point no less no more it has to be right on point. If you overfill it and leave it and start driving transmission fluid expands when it gets hot it also foams and it will fuck your transmission up completely. If you do not know what you’re doing. I suggest you take your service to a certified mechanic shop that can do the favor, and save your transmission from you screwing it up or you can count on in the next few months I’m going to a junkyard or ordering a new transmission for $7000 or more just my two cents though

[@mml1224]

this is wierd, the dealer said for this year and mos of em', THERE IS NO scheduled MAINTENCE, for tranny flush, so not sure why your doing it?also waste of time/$, b/c most of the tranny fluid is in the torque converter, so you only drain a few quarts from the pan, lastly , i wldn't even think abot doing it, unless this beast of a car had 150k miles on it, !!!!!!!!!!! good vid tho!

[@737mechanic]

There are a lot of manufacturers that claim their transmissions require no service and if the car is driven very easily over its lifetime you might get lucky and not have any issues but if you want to make sure you are not going to have any issues it is best to keep fresh fluid in them. In fact, if you do some research you will find ALL the manufacturers that claim no service required have had plenty of customers that have had transmissions fail, and most of the time the transmissions make it past the warranty period so you end up with the bill.

[@bobg3221]

You always do a fluid service change. It’s still oil it has to be serviced. It breaks down overtime, especially in a sealed system. A sealed transmission is very complex, which puts a lot of stress on the fluid especially if you live in southern states it gets very warm in these states keep that in mind it’s like motor oil, you have to change it at a certain interval mainly what’s required by your manufacture I know when I had my Hyundai Sonata they told me the same thing I looked in the manual book and it said with excessive where and usage change at 60,000 miles. The same thing is with Toyota change at 60,000 miles. you can go over a little bit 80,000 is max I would not go past 85,000 miles any further than that you are asking for major problems good luck
