4:32 You need to emphasize one important step. Before draining, you must make sure your car is LEVEL. Using a leveler with a magnet and attached to the bottom frame. There is no way to judge if your car is at correct level. Good video overall.

[@huythangnguyen7576]

Amazing, i just changed my 2015 Camry transmission fluid. The shifts are so smooth. Thanks to your video clip!

[@AliMECH]

Great to hear!

[@tmc3p1]

I changed mine today. I was surprised how fast the fluid temp went up. (Air temp was about 50f) I would suggest getting a cheap scanner so you drain at the proper temp.

[@deerphoria4314]

How did you check the temperature of the oil before opening the drain plug to let out the overflow oil? What did you use to spray and clean the oil that was on the transmission?

[@XxChuyoxX]

You can buy a Bluetooth obd2 scanner. He used brake cleaner to clean up

[@waynehsmithi4792]

Well done with clarity of explanation.

[@mikeschill4403]

Great job Ali- great way to keep the transmission running for a long time. If you just measured out used trans fluid and put in exactly the same amount (assuming no leaks) would you still recommend drainage of the overflow?

[@AliMECH]

Thanks, I still recommend to do the draining, bc you never know if someone did the oil change before or not and put more or less

[@nathanielburnett9863]

Yo syringe pump with hose at local auto store should be easier to fill without the tower of power funnel fill 6000 😂 but awesome job

[@GaryHong-fy1we]

When we drain the transmission oil, should we drain it with the cold engine or warm up the engine first? Also, when we drain the overflow, should the car be started while draining or turn it off?

[@slowking4]

Hey Ali, great video! I have a 2012 Camry and believe the process is basically the same.

[@busfan9874]

Yep. 2012-17 Camrys are the same. 2018 was redesigned with a 8 speed transmission.

I ended up pulling out 2.5L and put back in 2Liters. No point in draining excess ??

[@ስብሃትለአብለወልድለመንፈ]

For 2016 camry over 230K miles do you still recommend transmission fluid change?

[@tempestv8]

It really depends on the condition of the old fluid inside the transmission. If it is extremely burnt and black, there could be a risk that the fresh fluid may cause the transmission clutches to slip, as they may already be in poor shape. Personally I would take the risk and just drain the sump and refill as per the video, and not use a flushing machine. If the transmission fails, it was already on borrowed time. Only use genuine Toyota fluid, not a cheap alternative.

[@geovannigonzalez-yi6rs]

After the test drive do you drain the the extra half liter while the engine is on?

[@AliMECH]

Yes, it has to be on, to circulate the fluid and drain the accesive

[@anilkumarvadathya388]

Thank you for your video....is excellent. Does the ATF level must be checked at acertain temperature?

[@drpicmeup]

Yeah it needs to be between 104°F - 113°F when you drain the overflow fluid. If the temp is lower than this range, you'll drain too little, if it's higher, you'll drain too much.

I got a cheap elm327 odb2 tool that uses Bluetooth to connect to my phone, then an Android App like Torque, Car Scanner or ELM OBD2. This will read live data from sensor to get accurate fluid temp reading. You could also use infrared temp gun on bottom of fluid pan, but prob not as accurate.

[@theawesomeguy9999]

​@@GlobalSecularism Of course. Get it up to temp, cycle through all gears (park neutral, reverse) leave it running in park, and undo the plug on level ground. You want to see a small amount of transmission fluid coming out. If a lot comes out, too full. If almost nothing comes out, its underfilled

[@ton4268]

Thank you for this!! Quick question, if you drain and fill exact what came out, do you still have to drain the over fill? Thanks again!!

[@AliMECH]

It's better to put some more then drain to be sure ifs correct amount, but if u put same as its been drained, maybe it was low before and you will put less amount again

[@CodxShinobi]

Can you drain the overfill with the engine off? Or does the engine need to be running before removing the drain plug? I removed the drain plug and turned on my car not sure if it’s the other way around

[@tempestv8]

Engine must be running when draining off the excess. If the engine is switched off, too much fluid will be drained and the transmission will be effectively underfilled. Driving with low transmission fluid will be bad for the transmission.

[@bigdbassn4489]

Great video, thanks. I am somewhat confused. If you take out only 2 quarts, why not only put 2 quarts back in rather than putting 2 quarts back in and having to drain the extra 1/2 quart? Thank you.

[@saltysaty8686]

You don't know if the last tech changing the trans fluid put back in the spec amount for the entire system overfilling it. It may have way to much in it right now causing increased pressure when warm without enough room for heat expansion. You want it to be warmed up and the car to be level so it will overflow the right amount. This also checks if you did not add enough none will come out so you know your low.

no. dont do a flush just do drain and fill.

Its not actually a filter but just a mesh screen. Not worth changing. Just do the fluid change unless the transmission has extremely burnt fluid. In which case, you will have transmission dramas in the near term.

Kernelbadness is right, do this procedure 2 times, because only half of the fluid will be changed and then mixes with other, after doing this oil flush take the car for a ride and then come back do it again, so you replace about 6 litters of fluid

At 100k you should remove pan to clean magnets and change pan gasket & transmission filter also. Only around half the fluid comes out whether you use drain plug or drop pan.

Its never to late to change it your just gonna have to do a few changes more often till the fluid ie clear.

So you gotta do more frequently changes till the fluid is clear then you can change every 40k miles or so.

Can I put a gallon of new transmission fluid into my 17 Camry and let the overflow valve take care of any extra fluid?

[@raymondgarcia9641]

No you should never add a gallon because you're not draining a gallon. You need to measure what came out and add only a half a quart more than what came out. Start the car warm it up shift the gears. Taken for a short drive and then while it's still running remove the drain plug and whatever excess overflow will come out shouldn't be much. Put the plug back in that's it.

What happens if u put too much oil?

[@BabyGangsterIsMe]

I own a Toyota RAV4 from 2015, and it has accumulated 150,000 miles. Surprisingly, the transmission fluid is still original. At 160,000 miles, I did transmission flush at the Toyota dealership, and now it’s at 200,000 miles. Remarkably, the transmission is still in excellent condition. My friend, who worked at the Toyota dealership, advised me to only have the transmission flushed at the dealership because they have the specialized equipment to perform the procedure correctly and without causing any damage to the transmission. He warned me that using other shops for this service could potentially lead to issues. Since the transmission flush at the Toyota dealership, my car has been running exceptionally well, as if it were brand new. Now, I can confidently expect my car to last up to 300,000 miles before I need to consider replacing it.
