Hey Moose have a great weekend! Thanks for video, i can't stand CVTs, but my car has one.. harder to avoid nowadays. My last car the CVT started acting wierd at 145,000miles so I traded it in. Could be worse

[@moosemobileautorepair]

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I'm not a big fan of CVTs either and I don't think I would personally own one. CVT transmissions have a very finite lifespan, however they are improving over the years and I believe Toyota makes one of the best ones out there that seem to last a lot longer than other manufacturers. These transmissions are built by Aisin and Toyota owns at least 1/4 or 1/3 of the company and Aisin typically is made from Japan and they build only quality parts. The EPA has forced manufacturer's to meet certain fuel efficiency and pollution standards and so the manufacturer's are always coming up with new and creative ideas to put such things into vehicles mainly because of the EPA pushing them towards the edge of the cliff. CVTs are much lighter and more efficient than a conventional automatic. Only time will tell now as to where all of this will go in the future. I know some early generation Nissans were prone to CVT failure, but most CVTs have improved over the years now and they are all getting better in all vehicles. Maintenance is the key though to help them last a little longer.

Would you mind sharing the parts number of the 1L FE fluid.? I can only find the 4L pack. Also, is it needed to do the oil pump air bleeding before drain out the CVT fluid?

Genuine question. 2016 Toyota corolla Le CVT 102k miles mostly city driving. Should I change the fluid or could I cause more harm than good? Dealership says NO DO NOT TOUCH IT it will cause slippage and failure at this point since it's high milage. I have zero issues with the vehicle I just want to extend its life but I'm scared fresh fluid will cause an issue as they say. I want to either drain and fill a few times or drop the pan and replace the filter as well.

[@moosemobileautorepair]

You should service it as the transmission will fail eventually if you don't service it and keep driving it the way it is. You should be OK if you do a couple or a few drain and fills. Changing the filter is also a good idea too. It's not an old car so there shouldn't be any reason for the transmission to fail if you service it. If you decide to drop the pan and change out the filter, I would have a close look at the magnets in the pan. If there is little metallic debris on it then you will most likely be fine and that the transmission will last a long time. However, if you find a lot of metallic debris on the magnets and in the fluid, then it will indicate there will be future problems and the transmission will not last very long.

[@MrEmin211]

why filter not changed? what is the correct procedure to change all fluid ?

[@moosemobileautorepair]

Filter was not changed as it is not necessary on these particular vehicles as well as it is very low mileage. Usually on the domestic vehicles they require replacement. You can change it if you want, but it will add additional expense to the bill. The customer does not want to pay extra to change the filter. The filter only needs to be changed if there is contamination in the transmission, otherwise it is not a necessary item to replace. In order to replace all of the fluid you will need to disconnect one of the cooler lines to flush all of the fluid out.

@@moosemobileautorepair thank you for clear answer👍. Anyway if you will make or find any video regarding how to flush all fluid from corolla k313 cvt transmission pls tag me if possible. Thanks for sharing

[@KalindKPatel]

Can you please tell me what torque to use for 1) pan bolts 2) inside 3 filter bolts 3) plastic drain plug 4) main metal drain plug 5) the bolt where we put transmission oil in?

[@KalindKPatel]

Its for toyota corolla 2018 zre182r model

[@GarenP]

Pan bolts are 69 in-lbs or about 5.75 ft-lbs, the fill plug is 36 ft-lbs. The rest unsure offhand, but I just did them hand tight and then snugged them up with a stubby ratchet.

[@user-yv2iw2tv5e]

Is this the same process for 2015 Toyota Corolla?

[@moosemobileautorepair]

Should be the same/similar procedures starting with the 2014 model year Corolla and up.

[@user-yv2iw2tv5e]

@@moosemobileautorepair thanks for the info.

[@GarenP]

Same for all K313 transmissions (14-19), look on your door panel like he shows in the video.
