Man I love this generation Camry, this is just a great car and I'm proud to own one, I only have 119k on the dash as of 6/17/21.

[@LazarNevski]

147k here, man. Never let me down.

[@zackerydavis1345]

Got one 2 years ago 2500$ with 97k miles ive now got 116k miles on it an the previous owners had the water pump and timing done at 86k miles

[@russojap1864]

337k on mine😎

[@1584283]

134k here. Just replaced both head gaskets, flushed the steering pump, got 1 new front wheel bearing, and 4 new tires. It drives so smooth.

[@The1Music2MyEars]

It's great but dam the southern states sun kills the paint. You see nothing but oxidized paint on old Camrys in North Carolina. I'm sure it's the same with other manufacturers.

[@mellebelle7071]

thank you so much for this video. I fill up my oil for the first time and your video is very helpful :):) also I learned where all the caps of different fluid.. Yayyyyy… basic mechanic here I leanred thru your video.. once again thank you !

[@christineroberts1069]

I wanted to give you a quick thank you I have a 99 Toyota Camry. It’s a great car. The only problem is there is a slight leak in the power steering fluid, but we keep our eye on. It doesn’t hardly even bother. This car runs like it’s brand new. I have no complaints and I want to keep it as nice as it is today the whole time I have it.

[@airdriver1460]

You guys are bad-ass for your "How to" videos. I really appreciate your work, especially on older cars. Thank you and go 1A Auto for all you DIY shade-tree mechanics.

[@UssyMustyYS]

I just bought a 2000 Camry with 119k mileage. Great car

[@bexkabexkster6667]

How do I know what transmission fluid to use? How do i know when it's full when I pour the fluid?

[@drivewaygarage1561]

I just took my 1998 Camry to an oil change place and they checked all of these fluids and washed the windows which was nice and they checked the tire pressure.

[@larrysimmons6082]

When checking Tran ..when it's cold should the fluid be between hot and cold ..or just on the cold marking ..?? And does it mean it's over filled if it's closer to the hot markings ..when check cold ???

[@phomjachana]

My cold has always been too high, but what seems to be op temperature, it’s right on the top of the high. So idk how to ensure the car is really at operating temp. I’ve let the car idle for 15 minutes…

[@phomjachana]

So I’m in same dilemma. I just recently got the car and my trans drain and refill I just drained what was in and replaced the same amount

[@mobbin71795]

I have a 99 Toyota Camry 4 cylinder, is the differential fluid separate from the transmission fluid and should I check that fluid as well?

[@conner5611]

Yes on the 4 cylinder its is separate from the transmission on the v6 it uses the same fluid as the transmission

[@aikitty2163]

Amazing info very clear, information straight to the point

[@1AAuto]

+Ramona Maceo Thanks for watching. Buy the part in this video on 1AAuto.com: 1aau.to/m/Shop-1AAuto-c

[@johnnymurff4137]

My comment and question are years late . But I have a '99 Camry ce made in Kentucky and it's a manual transmission, I don't see a dipstick for the transmission and the drain plug is on the transmission. Do you have a video for manual transmission in Camry's??!

[@littlejefe494]

How do you check the differential fluid on this car?

[@phomjachana]

Raise the vehicle, look at transmission fluid hex drain bolt. Look at behind it (towards rear of car) there is another drain bolt. That is for differential which has a separate housing from trans fluid. On the back vertical side is a 17mm socket to loosen the filler plug. The fluid should be level with the bottom edge of the fill hole. Pinky check.

[@jtphenom0811]

What's the capacity on the transmission fluid, in case we need to top up? Thanks.

[@conner5611]

Check your owner's manual

[@michaelcross6251]

I saw coolant with orange color in radiator but he added green color coolant in the reservoir. Is this okay to mix?

[@MC-mh2ju]

no

[@phomjachana]

Orange color was more of a red. This generation takes red coolant. What he did was a no no

[@elchinoxl3034]

Same for a 1999 Toyota Avalon ? Aren’t they just the same as avalons pretty much?

[@1966human]

When you put engine oil in the engine good idea to put some rags behind the engine to catch any overflow, the overflow will get hot and burn and smell the car up

[@recesshenry307]

What happens the transmission fluid is looking black and smell burnt

[@1AAuto]

+Calin Henry You may want to have it changed and also replace the filter. 1aauto.com

[@andreacrane99]

General question if anyone can answer. The long silver piece right in the middle, with the hand that says don’t touch on it (next to the oil dipstick), what is that? Car recently started leaking fluid onto that, which caused it to start smoking a little.

[@yachtyteam6978]

That’s a heat shield to your exhaust manifold

[@hawerddolbee1278]

I got the V 6 Camry.do I check the engine worm or cold??

[@ferndog1461]

Transmission: level ground , engine at least 5 minutes on warm.

[@scootergreen3]

My 2000 Toyota Camry shows full on the oil stick on one side of the stick and shows no oil on the other side of the stick. It's always been like that. Does anyone know why?

[@1AAuto]

+MICHAEL DAVIS Thank you for checking us out. The reason for this is one side of the dipstick could be scraping against the tube and causing nothing to be shown. Other than that we recommend visiting a Camry forum to obtain other owner's experiences. 1aauto.com

[@jackhawkins4056]

my 98 is doing that too

[@ferndog1461]

Solid advice. I subscribed. Thanks!

[@criticalthinker7822]

I have a 2002 Toyota Camry. When I rev my engine the coolant squirts out of the expansion tank. How do I fix this please?

[@bayfinest1938]

Thermostat

[@freighttrainsahpassing9790]

To top off any of the engine fluids is an option, but not completely necessary, correct ? Also, i had a hard time making out where the transmission fluid was on the dipstick in this video !!

[@duhWHYus]

me too

[@InuyashaMiles]

I checked my tranny fluid while the engine was warm but off. The fluid was splashed way over the full line notches. After letting it sit it seemed lower. Can a slight slant on the driveway be a cause to this reading?

[@phomjachana]

Depends on the slant, but you should always be on level ground t check readings, I’ll drive to a spot in neighborhood, or in the garage, or a parking lot, (depends on what’s going on)

[@Kingta150]

This was very useful since I drive a Camry solara .

[@PedroParkerD]

This didn't help much. I'm looking for the dip stick for my 2000 Camry but I can't find one. I don't think it even has one

[@Joe_334]

Try Amazon! Also not sure what dipstick you need. I have an oil level dipstick that doesn't have an o ring near the yellow handle. Not sure if that affects anything.

[@yas2246]

Good job.. Thank you

[@LongBeach99EastSide]

I got the same car but a v6. it's all still the same rights? the only difference is that it's in different locations correct?

[@1AAuto]

+LongBeach99EastSide Some of the fluid locations might be in a different location.

[@LongBeach99EastSide]

1A Auto Parts but still all the same rules apply right

[@mckybb3860]

On the v6 what coolant are you suppose to use

[@guidedbygreen1480]

@@mckybb3860 the coolant should be OEM Toyota, or coolant that is listed on the bottle as good for Toyota/Lexus. For example "PEAK OET Antifreeze/Coolant Asian Vehicles Red/Pink PREMIXED *5 Year/150K Mile Protection* 1 Gallon"
