If I lived anywhere near your region, I would absolutely be your customer. Because you revere the cars you work on, always do the very best possible for them. Thank you for another excellent, useful video.
As always a well-done vid. Love your passion, it doesn't have to be a rare sports car or muscle car to be valued/appreciated. Couldn't agree with you more regarding going with the "OEM" transmission fluid or even engine coolant. Toyotas and Hondas seem to do much better when using OEM trans fluid. Definitely not the place to be penny-wise and pound foolish. A new transmission is not cheap.
Job well done, and keep up with good work. Thank you for what you do and how you present it to the less experienced audience. On a note, I have been doing my own engine oil and transmission fluid changes for the last 18 yrs or so on all of my vehicles (mostly Japanese made but one American made as well). Sometimes with the OEM, sometimes with other available fluids that were compatible with the manufacturer's recommendations. I have used most of the oils/fluids and did not have issues with either. In my humble opinion, it seems better to service AT on regular basis with compatible fluids than infrequently or rarely with the OEM fluid. What is even worse, is to believe that sealed lifetime ATF fairytale Toyota dealerships trying to sell to the public and not servicing the AT at all. I did not use and have no plans of using some off-brand/no-name ATF or engine oil just to save several dollars. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing your next videos.
Mom got a new 92 Corolla as the family's 1st Toyota. We were convinced Yota was good. Sister got 81 Corolla wagon in 93. Then mom got 98 Corolla then dad gave up on GM truck n got 06 Tundra, then 11 Tacoma. I got 08 Solara and 02 Avalon. We still have all but 81 wagon n 92 Corolla. Saw the 92 Corolla one day in 2019 😔 in the junkyard.
@@02markcal I’m 27 always been a Chevy guy but I’ve had all the makes, nothing compares to this yoda, it just runs and runs good better on fuel than my v8s ever were turns sharp and tight and goes anywhere , she’s about to hit 280,000 don’t burn or leak any oil it’s crazy
Totally agree with you 100%, Peter. I don't know why everyone goes to such great lengths to avoid manufacturer fluids. In many cases, the manufacturer fluid is cheaper. I will say, however, that sometimes it's much less convenient to acquire the Toyota, Honda, etc. fluids.
@@johnaclark1 full synthetic for any of my cars. 5000km oil changes every time. Small price to pay for keeping the engine alive. I change trans fluid every 40000-60000km.
Love your vidéos. I got my 2011 toyota matrix last year. I did the transmission oil drain and refil once to see if there was any problem whit the speed shift. When i saw that everything was fine i drained and refiled again after like 4000 km. I have to say that i used the oil fron toyota. The reason i did that its because i din't had the date for the last transmission maintenance and also because the oil was turning dark. By the way tank you for your vidéos they helped a lot.
I did my normal Yaris 1.3L 90,000m CVT fluid 4 months ago here in th UK ,it was DIRTY, drain & re fill again 2 months later,a little more cleaner but still dirty. 2x drain & re fill at 2.2L with the proper Toyota CVT FE fluid at £43 for a 5L bottle. I used a garden hose pipe and a funnel to pour in the fluid, filled from the top.
I use manufacturer brand fluid for my CVT and good quality oils for just about everything else. If someone disagrees, they can use what they want in their own car. My car gets over 21,000 miles a year and I need it to be reliable for at least 10 years
my 2021 corolla is about a year old a month from today and it has 20k plus miles on it.. I oil changed it every 5k miles using 0W16 oil from toyota and oem oil filter. it runs very good.
If anyone watched to the end and is wondering what he means about the watching the trickle and using the computer, what he means is in newer Toyota "[fake]sealed" systems, you have to check the level with the drain plug straw and only at a temperature range which the computer can only tell you. It is a small range and a pain in the butt. I don't have the energy right now to look up the specs but this is just a bonus informational. Not a computer level adjust tutorial. Some say measure what came out and put back in the same, but that only gets you close. The reason is because ATF expands and contracts with heat and ambient temps. So the level is never the same even if measured and makes measurable differences by partial decimal quart amounts like he showed. Plus if you don't know the history and who set the level before and if they were any good, it could be low to same pennies like at a dealer or shop who cuts costs.
Thanks for this video. I need this same service on my 2011 Camry Hybrid. I'm assuming everything is the same, did you get new crush washers (if so do you have part numbers, thanks!) My last trans fluid change was around 93k miles ago, I'm scared to see my fluid...😬
For the next few years at least, prices are going one way - UP. If you have a newer vehicle, and you plan to keep it until it is junk, buying some transmission fluid, oil and air filters, and the correct fully synthetic oil, like a Mobil 1 now, might not be a bad idea. Watch for sales and stock up. It will probably only get more expensive as the years pass. You might even want to pick up some new brake pads, spark plugs, and a new serpentine belt. You can store synthetic oil and transmission fluid forever in a sealed plastic container. Just don't try and use old brake fluid from a container which has been opened, because brake fluid absorbs water vapor from the air. So does gasoline containing ethanol, which is the vast majority of gasoline sold today. Old gasoline which has 'lost its lights' is the number one reason for small engines which won't start. The oil in small engines without an oil filter, needs to be changed quite often to remove circulating metal particles. Next time you change the oil in your lawnmower, generator, or snow blower examine the oil which came out in direct sunlight. Any tiny shiny specks you see floating in the oil will be part of your engine. That is why they only last about 1,500 hours of run time, unless you change the oil every 10 hours of run time, which nobody does. You are supposed to change the oil in a small generator without an oil filter every day, if it runs around the clock during an emergency. A quart of oil is cheap, lawnmowers and generators aren't. I'm too lazy to flush my brake lines and calipers, so every couple of years, I siphon out as much brake fluid as I can from my master cylinder, using a piece of clear plastic tubing. (DON'T spill any on your paint.) Then I refill it from a small unopened can of brake fluid. Any left over fluid in the opened can gets thrown away. It isn't as good as a complete brake system flush, but it is better than letting all that old fluid in there. Those ABS units cost a small fortune. And you need a two - way scan tool to replace the latest ABS units. Those scan tools are over $1,000 and require some knowledge to operate.
The thing about the fluid is that it has no hydraulic function in this transmission so it's not as critical as with other transmissions to use WS. The only purpose for the transmission fluid is as a lubricant and coolant. Using something like MOC Synthetic ATF, like many Toyota dealers use currently, and Maxlife is a more than acceptable substitution.
I like to crack the filler plug first like should be. But also after making sure it is removable to reinstall it to help slow down the force it escapes with when I remove the drain plug.
I dun my Toyota auris touring sports hybrid 2015 at 90,000 miles, the old fluid wasn’t that dirty, I got my new fluid from Toyota shop where I bought the car , the only thing I could not get was 2 new washers for the drain and fill plugs , so I used the old ones again, I filled it up with a clear hose from the top of engine bay with a funnel on top of the hose , I will definitely be getting that filling equipment that you used as my method was a bit messy, I also have done my coolant and inverter with Toyota coolant ,and do all my own oil and filter changes myself, the car has done 124,000 miles so fare , I am from the uk .
The WS is a fairly robust fluid besides the dye changing colors fairly early on. If it wasn’t a decent fluid you wouldn’t see so many high mileage Aisin transmissions out there. Cause we all know most NEVER change their ATF lol! Always smart to stick to oem fluid spec
This is Assuming the level is correct to begin with right? If you needed to do a fluid level check than you would need to do it by temp correct? I know Toyota has a special vacuum tool that can check the fluid level hot but no Toyota dealer around me has any idea what I’m talking about, I seen the special tool on Weber auto.
I did my normal Yaris (NON HYBRID)1.3L 90,000m CVT fluid 4 months ago here in th UK ,it was DIRTY, drain & re fill again 2 months later,a little more cleaner but still dirty. 2x drain & re fill at 2.2L with the proper Toyota CVT FE fluid at £43 for a 5L bottle. Always worth it.
There's another fill plug right above the plug you filled through specifically right above the axle shaft, what's that for, maybe 2 two fill plugs?🤔🧐🤷🏻♂️
I agree with you Peter, don't go with anything other than Toyota OEM for trans fluid. Customer wanted synthetic and brought maxlife. Said was cheap at Walmart. Like $20 or so for a gallon. He cleaned like $16. First time brought me a 98 1MZ-FE and whatever was mated to it and it made the trans slow to shift when cold. Said called Valvoline beforehand and said it was okay. But he learned don't use universal fluid for the complicated trans system. Said all over forums people suggested it was ok. Even on RUclips comments. I said these are salesmen schills for Maxlife. Advertising in comments and social media ambassadors posing as normal customers. When it warmed up it shifted fine. Took three more spill and fills to get it back close to normal again. He felt maybe it was an old car. Like 20 years. Later he brought a 08 1GR-FE thinking fluke. Or Dex 3 was different since this newer one used WS. Same problem. This time it was 12 years old. Slow to shift again when cold. It got better but needed two spill and fills before he gave up and let it be and it got slightly better.. maybe it loosened some gunk and it was clogging a passage. Who knows. But I will recommend against trying this on Toyotas. Not worth it. Even if synthetic is supposed to last longer. But customer was sure he said. I said okay!
I need information or link / part # for that syringe. I looked around in the description, can not find it. Need to do this service on my 05 Tundra, 85k miles. TIA !
That sucks that Toyota isn't putting the service intervals in the Owner's Manual. I use that for my defense when a dealer tries to up sale me with stuff I don't need. They will also use well in extreme cases or areas. The Owner's Manual covers that too. There are some fluids like Transmission fluid that I will stick to a Toyota brand. Unless I know who makes it for Toyota I stick with Toyota. I just bought 8 plugs from the Toyota dealer and they were the same price as quality aftermarket. Brake pads usually need shims and suggested to change them too. By the time you buy the pads and shims you might as well of bought the TRD which comes with shims. My dealer has an online parts site and charges less if I order through their site and just pick them up. I do let the dealer do the schedule maintenance mainly to keep dealer records. Where I live the small shops use the dealer's prices. Might as well just go to the dealer. I do haggle since I research the work required.
I've seen customers use Valvoline maxlife ATF and the vehicle didn't shift right so we drained and fill 4 times and had the customer drive 500 miles then come back for a atf change using Toyota WS ATF. Shifts good now.
Not really a believer in OEM fluids, but just like extended warranty, if it makes you feel good do it. When I bought my Tacoma in 2009 I was assured the valve train would be destroyed if I didnt use Toyota oil and my transmission wouldnt last if I didnt use Toyota trans fluid. Toyota is not an oil company. Been using good quality brands since the second service and now passing 500k klms or 300k+ miles. More important to do the services , use the right spec or close to it, use quality oil and filters
If you know who some of the OE suppliers are..you can buy their products..Toyota doesn't manufacture transmission fluid. Get the correct fluid..many vehicles use vehicle specific formulations
Simple job to do, but why Toyota say "it's for the live of the vehicule" and he don't sell oil. But i find right ATF WS TOYOTA to the net. And i have draining the transmission fluid to my C-HR at 100 000 kms. I don't care the price a new transmission box was more expensive. I expected the new videos

To make sure it dies after the warranty. Kinda like that 10,000 mile oil change recommendation. Just a ply to wear out your car faster.
Expensive fluid? Mr. Goodwrench said it best. "Pay me now or pay me later."
