Thank you, the poor little Corolla never had its transmission oil changed by the previous owner (she put about 150K miles on it). Super easy to replace this fluid at the same time you replace the motor oil. The transmission fluid was darker than the used oil changed at the same time. The little Corolla runs great at 215K, and I got it for my son as his first car.
My 2003 corolla has 600k km and I have never touched the transmission fluid, I'm not saying it's right but so far everything is running like new. Maybe that 'life' rating for the fluid is true?
@@nigeljoiner I’m wondering this as well. My 2018 Corolla service manual doesn’t mention changing the transmission fluid. My service advisor at the dealership has told me that I will have to change it soon but not sure if he’s just trying to make more $
@@christopherllamas5706 yes. If you can read on the dipstick it reads that it doesn't need to be replaced under normal driving conditions. So I think for most people they done need to replace it for the entirety of the car's lifetime
@@nigeljoiner Nothing lasts forever..at 600K i'd say it wouldn't hurt changing it once..just drain and refill (no flush). Over time and heat cycles, every oil (even the best) will eventually break down and offer less protection
No need to replace..ha haha...When. I changed the fluid in my 92 Camry, it looked the color of coffee! cleaned and refilled with Dexron as specified..still going strong at 632000 kilometers.
@mohammed lastman keep doing it till it's clean, change then drive it a couple miles so it mixes in your torque converter (if you have one) till it's clean
Thank you Peter I’m one of those women afraid to do these things on my own, but thanks to you I do my own oil changes and transmission fluid changes , the only thing I haven’t done yet is engine coolant change 💙
Excellent, just don't bother with a flush. Just do a drain & fill. 1st off, flushing doesn't get all the old fluid anyway. It's a little more, but not worth the cost. (You're not even going to have that equipment anyway unless you run a shop.) 2nd, experts will tell you that flushing can push dirty particles into the complex chambers of the transmission.
You are very helpful and informative , sir . I changed my transmission fluid today (my 2007 Toyota Corolla sport was at 135.000 miles when it got changed ) now she runs good , I can feel the difference . Cheers from California.
You are awesome sir! Not to get sappy but my father died years ago so i have a number of RUclips dads to teach me man stuff haha. Thanks man! Subscribed
I generally know how to change transmission fluid but I wanted to make sure it's similar to most procedures since my girlfriend actually has a 2004 Corolla LE, white also in fact. It's only got about 53k on the clock but I think the fluid should be changed just to keep it going. She loves the car and wants to keep it going as long as possible. So your video was definitely very helpful to me. Thanks!
You don't do a flush you drop the pan change the filter and put new fluid in. Doing a flush can cause the dirt if there's any in the fluid to go into small channels in the transmission and cause damage to your transmission. Always drop the pan and change the fluid .
I just bought my first Toyota, it's a 2014 4 runner. Would you please move to pennsylvania where I live so you can do all of my service work? You are an incredibility honest man and you care about people! I hope you are as blessed as I am in this great country!
my transmission drain plug was working it's way loose so I got my transmission serviced for free by the dealer I go off road quite a bit so things work there way loose I like your channel a lot
I appreciate this man not suggesting any after market ATF. Other ATF types like the "Valvoline Max like Dex/Merc" will NOT work well with earlier Corollas, Especially ones from the early 2000s and late 90s. Those aftermarket ATF types are all usually low viscosity, and claim to be "backwards compatible" with anything that uses Dexron II or III. And people tend to believe that Dexron III is okay to use as a substitute for T-IV, but it is NOT GOOD. T-IV is pretty hihg viscosity, and replacing it for Dexron 3 on an aged transmission will not mix well, believe me I've done it. Just thought I should post this since information is scarce regarding these transmissions.
We have a 2009 RAV4 in which the fluid was black at only 28,000 miles (but it was ten years old - verified by Carfax). I drained and filled it at that 28,000 mile mark and now the fluid is still red at 41,000 miles but less than a year later. I think the age of the fluid has as much to do with it's color as the mileage does. I plan to do the next drain and fill at 60,000 miles (or before). A few months ago I bought a Scangauge II and configured it to read ATF temperature. According to a repair manual for the vehicle the operating temperature of the fluid (when the dip-stick should read in the hot zone) is 158°F to 176°F. I've confirmed that ours is at that level. If Toyota wanted us to be accurate reading the dipstick why didn't they simply install an ATF temperature gauge in the vehicle? No, infact to get that information you need a service manual. The owner's manual doesn't tell you.

Many many many people swear by it on online forums. So many that I tried twice. Both 10 plus year old trans mated to V6 engines. Both afterwards shifted sluggishly on cold start or after the car sat. Thinking the trans fluid went cold. At full operating temps. They shifted fine. One was a 98 another was an 08. Took two more drain and fills for them to go back to somewhat better working cold conditions. One with Dexron III and other was with WS. Still has some in it. Maybe 12-20% left inside. On first cold startup might need ten seconds. But it's okay. Perhaps the engines were poorly maintained in their younger age. Maybe the shift solenoids are gunked up. Passages varnished. But I would say stick to Toyota. You save $20 or so for a spill and fill but the synthetic is in there and months and months of headaches or spend more to get it all pushed out. Maybe cars younger than 5 years will be okay but I;m not messing with that anymore. Stick with the OG on Toyota.
Very nice video. I've been a mechanic for about 8 years. I've always done transmission fluid changes like this and not full flushing. The goal is too have better pressure and lubrication. Not to clean the entire transmission. Damage can happen if the fluid is too clean.
"Damage can happen if the fluid is too clean" this is complete bullshit. With a proper maintenance schedule, a full fluid exchange will greatly extend the life of your trans.
Excellent video amazing delivery and disposition. I truly enjoy every video you make. If you get a chance to post a video of a transmission fluid drain and fill in a 2014 Corolla with the CVT I would appreciate it. I need to do that for my daughter's car because she is a 60k. Thank you in advance.
I prefer a drain and exchange (just like you are showing) more so then a "power flush". A sealed transmission of course is a little more labor intensive but can easily be done. Keep up the good work my friend.

BMW was the same way back in those days with their ridiculous "Lifetime Fill" fluids...pfft yeah right! Need to do the same on my sister's 2006 Corolla. This video helps alot, thanks!
Thank you for all the great information. You look and seem to be a very conscientious and honest mechanic. I can not believe Toyota built vehicles and recommended no fluid draining and replacement. Talk about a receipt for disaster or to make lots of more money? What if the auto makers recommended never changing your engine oil? They would be selling new cars only after maybe 50k to 80k miles.
Thank you for the video. My mechanic told me to never flush my 2009 Toyota transmission. Just drain & refill. Scotty Kilmer and Chris Fix on RUclips say the same. Why do some recommend D&R and others flushing? Besides more $ for the Dealership.
Another great video! I am getting ready to change the trans fluid on my 2003 Pontiac Vibe (same engine/trans that is in this 2004 Corolla) and was hoping you knew the toyota part # for the transmission drain plug crush washer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you for sharing the video. big help. just bought one with 198k and never changed before ! Do you suggest to change it or not ? some suggest not change with high mileage ! thanks
I did this project myself and unfortunately one of the bolts to hold the filter in place broke inside... It is only held in place by two bolts. It seems secure but I wonder if this will be an issue. Please help.
I believe that will be good idea to change transmission filter. that we don’t keep in the old one and then you could contaminating the new Oil and not keep in more dirt inside transmission
"flushing" an automatic transmission is usually a bad idea. Causes more problems than it's worth. Drain and fill at regular intervals, that's far better regular maintenance.
Would the same process be done for a Toyota corolla 2015 LE eco? I've been looking for a video like crazy but can't seem to find my specific model. Please help 🙏🏻.
Hi, I have an 03 Corolla with 150,000 miles. I drained & refilled the transmission fluid once around 80,000 miles. Should I do it again now or can it cause more harm than good at this mileage? Also would you recommend I drain & refill the antifreeze coolant from the radiator?
Is it ok to use Valvoline equivalent or am I better off waiting for Toyota fluid? Just a drain fill and filter change. Only 60k miles on the 2005 Corolla
I have an issue - I felt a jolt when I reversed my Toyota 13 Corolla. Then it woudnt move in drive. I turned it off then back on drove good for 20 + miles took a trip >100 miles no issue but then today I couldn’t move it in drive again… any ideas ?
I managed to find out how much fluid my corolla needs that will make it reach the hot section perfectly. For me I fill it cold to the “P” in the word “Type” on the dipstick.
"Under normal driving condition" is a very sly or maybe a con....like oil changes as most drivers use vehicles in really cold or hot climates/temperatures,plus most of us are stuck in traffic (excessive idle) so that comes under "Severe driving conditions".And what most of us do in traffic (At idle waiting at the lights or long queues) ?? is keep it in "D" (Drive) which isn't advised.I changed my ATF on my 2002 Yaris at 76,000 miles 4 yrs ago with genuine Toyota Type 4 and glad i did.It did cost like £32 i think can't remember,for 5L....worth it thou.For the sake of an extra £20 or over £200 if you're lucky on a 2nd hand AT plus you pay extra for a mechanic to fit it.
What about the differential fluid? I was a Toyota tech in the 1990’s and when we did trans services we drained and refilled the diff, which used ATF, with a slurp gun. The quantity was less than a quart, but you sure don’t want to neglect the carrier bearings in the differential. Has there been a production change?
Great video i appreciate the info....where is your shop located?....i would love to take my corolla to your shop instead of somewhere else....have a nice day
When purchased new our corolla stated change oil every 10k and never change trans fluid. We changed oil every 6k and trans every 50k. At 170k fluids look new engine runs quiet and shifts like new.
That's the more accurate service interval. The non severe interval is to get low numbers in operating costs in auto magazines and to beat out competitors. Anyone with city traffic needs to be under severe. Or extreme temps. Includes mostly everyone.
Im probably late to the party. But dropping the pan and cleaning the screen/oil lines is a really good method. Its a one and done job, which is nice. On the other hand, doing multiple drain and fills is also another affective method. Doing this allows back to back fills eventually get “fresh” oil throughout the whole transmission. It is going to be slightly more costly, and will never reach clarity of dropping the pan without a fair amount of cycles. Either one is a viable. Once i have little more time i will probably drop the pan. For now ill just run a few cycles of fresh oil back to back.
We bought a used 2010 Corolla with 128,000 miles on it for our teen daughter, and with not having a complete service history we decided one of the maintenance items we should do is drain and fill the transmission and change out the filter. I'm glad we did because after draining and removing the pan we found much of the fluid still coming out of the transmission and resting in the pan was gelatinous! The filter certainly needed to be changed. It took 3 drain and fills, with running the gears in between to mix the new with the old to flush out the thick remnants. We used Valvoline Maxlife ATF, which is compatible to the fluid Toyota recommends, but is a fraction of the price. What a difference that service did to the operation of that car.
Hello, so I did few changes already and I must say if you drop the pan and replace the filter you manage to get another 600ml of old fluid out or so, not to mention the pan itself will be covered in a film of debris and old fluid. I highly recommend doing it, its worth the effort to replace the filter and give the pan a new gasket too. My 2012 Rolla just turned 205k km and runs strong shifting like butter. I tried different AFT WS fluids and no difference noticed.
I just purchased a 2013 Corolla this week with only 16,000 original miles. I’ll be interested to see what kind of condition the ATF is in once it is delivered……..🤔

I managed to find out how much fluid my corolla needs that will make it reach the hot section perfectly. For me I fill it cold to the “P” in the word “Type” on the dipstick.
Peter, is it necessary to prescribe injectors on such a car?
I have a used 2008 corolla with 94k miles. How often shall I change transmission fluid?
Filter?
Atf4 is atf for any vehicle that automatic atf is automatic transmission fluid toyota adds a 4 just for marking purposes
Thanks , so how much gear fluid you filled back , 4 liters?
"Under normal driving condition" is a very sly or maybe a con....like oil changes as most drivers use vehicles in really cold or hot climates/temperatures,plus most of us are stuck in traffic (excessive idle) so that comes under "Severe driving conditions".And what most of us do in traffic (At idle waiting at the lights or long queues) ?? is keep it in "D" (Drive) which isn't advised.I changed my ATF on my 2002 Yaris at 76,000 miles 4 yrs ago with genuine Toyota Type 4 and glad i did.It did cost like £32 i think can't remember,for 5L....worth it thou.For the sake of an extra £20 or over £200 if you're lucky on a 2nd hand AT plus you pay extra for a mechanic to fit it.
Could you please make the 2020 Toyota Corolla transmission fluid drain and refill?
Thanks
What about the differential fluid? I was a Toyota tech in the 1990’s and when we did trans services we drained and refilled the diff, which used ATF, with a slurp gun. The quantity was less than a quart, but you sure don’t want to neglect the carrier bearings in the differential. Has there been a production change?
Hiya did you add after the hot engine check?
I do a drain and fill x2 on mine once a year. Never have touched the filter.
Good
I need one of those engine oil funnels as used in this video
You don't change the transmission filter?
What happened to Your Diesel Mercedes channel ?
I changed mine every 30,000 miles. Also they have filters that should be replaced
Why no Amsoil transmission fluid for this car? Thanks
Great video i appreciate the info....where is your shop located?....i would love to take my corolla to your shop instead of somewhere else....have a nice day

When purchased new our corolla stated change oil every 10k and never change trans fluid. We changed oil every 6k and trans every 50k. At 170k fluids look new engine runs quiet and shifts like new.
Very nice. I take care of my Corolla as well. It has 420k km, runs quiet. It will need its first cluth replacement soon.
That's the more accurate service interval. The non severe interval is to get low numbers in operating costs in auto magazines and to beat out competitors. Anyone with city traffic needs to be under severe. Or extreme temps. Includes mostly everyone.
How much to add once fluid is drained?
Hi, just wanted to ask if its necessary to drop the pan and change the filter as well. Thanks.
Im probably late to the party. But dropping the pan and cleaning the screen/oil lines is a really good method. Its a one and done job, which is nice.
On the other hand, doing multiple drain and fills is also another affective method. Doing this allows back to back fills eventually get “fresh” oil throughout the whole transmission. It is going to be slightly more costly, and will never reach clarity of dropping the pan without a fair amount of cycles.
Either one is a viable. Once i have little more time i will probably drop the pan. For now ill just run a few cycles of fresh oil back to back.
We bought a used 2010 Corolla with 128,000 miles on it for our teen daughter, and with not having a complete service history we decided one of the maintenance items we should do is drain and fill the transmission and change out the filter. I'm glad we did because after draining and removing the pan we found much of the fluid still coming out of the transmission and resting in the pan was gelatinous! The filter certainly needed to be changed. It took 3 drain and fills, with running the gears in between to mix the new with the old to flush out the thick remnants. We used Valvoline Maxlife ATF, which is compatible to the fluid Toyota recommends, but is a fraction of the price. What a difference that service did to the operation of that car.
Hello, so I did few changes already and I must say if you drop the pan and replace the filter you manage to get another 600ml of old fluid out or so, not to mention the pan itself will be covered in a film of debris and old fluid. I highly recommend doing it, its worth the effort to replace the filter and give the pan a new gasket too. My 2012 Rolla just turned 205k km and runs strong shifting like butter. I tried different AFT WS fluids and no difference noticed.
I just purchased a 2013 Corolla this week with only 16,000 original miles. I’ll be interested to see what kind of condition the ATF is in once it is delivered……..🤔
If I want to bring my Camry in for service where are you located
