    I spent a couple weeks collecting the tools I'd need to do a fluid drain and fill on my 2015 Corolla. My one bit of advice is to do it when the transmission is unquestionably cold. Get the car into a level spot and leave it there, then do the drain and fill in the morning. That will greatly reduce the chances of under filling the transmission, which is easy to do. You also don't need this silly pump apparatus. A small funnel and a couple feet of 1/2" vinyl tubing works great. I didn't lose a single drop of fluid putting it in this way.

    Hello my friend. I truly love this video that you made and how well you explained it in detail. I myself am a retired auto tech of 48 years and have seen so many changes in the auto industry. Most of my career was on domestic vehicles but having my own repair shop for 15 years I ended up repair and servicing imports as well, as my GM customers all had an import as well. I have been retired now for 8 years and I just bought a 2014 Corolla with the CVT trans 1.8 liter so I can reduce the mileage on my truck and for comfort reasons as well. You know as well as I do that we like to do our own service and repair because we trust our self no matter how old we get. I have to do this service on jack stands these days, which is a little rough at 68 years old. You made one of the best videos that I have seen as of yet on this site my friend. Thank you for your time in making this info video for all of us and look forward to many more.

      But fear not, they have developed a less accurate way to measure. Jumper some pins, do a transmission handshake with the gear lever to turn on temperature mode and the D light will come up or flash at temperature ranges. Too hot? Shut off engine and wait for cooldown and try again. Like someone said earlier. Pita bread. Jk. But there is a TSB whitepaper on it.

    When I dropped pan and replaced cvt filter I was able to get 4L out or a whole can .
    Warning . Fortunately I bought 2 cans of FE fluid . After adding whole 4L can nothing came out when checking level . I needed 2 cups from second can just to have extra in there to set level accurately.

    I bought my daughter a 2014 Corolla LE and it's been fantastic. I do all the maintenance myself but WILL NOT do this. Unreal how labor intensive and complex this entire process is. I drive a 2015 Honda Accord EX-L V6 Coupe with the 6 speed automatic and changing the transmission fluid is extremely simple. Easier than changing the oil. Just have to measure what comes out thats all. So simple and amazon sells honda automatic transmission fluid for 36$ for 4 quarts. I get around 3.5 to 4 quarts out every time. Why Toyota insists on this level if difficulty is beyond me. Same with the filter tool for taking the oil filter off that I had to purchase just to get the dang thing off. Honda's are so much easier and simpler. Still love Toyota and lexus and always will because they are proven brands, but come on Toyota, give us do it yourselfers a break 🤦‍♂️

    I disconected the cooling lines after draining and refilling the pan, than added an extra half quart on top of what it came out and used the cooling line to shoot fluid out without going back in and contaminating the new fluid, started the engine and drained 1 quart out and added 1 quart back in till new fluid came out while going thru the gears (P,R,D). Once fluid is clear make sure you got the correct amount inside based on the amount drained vs added.
    I believe you can do a better flush while using less fluid but having an assistant makes things easier.
    I've done this method on an 2018 Elantra, Sonata, Lexus GX470, 2017 Ford F-350 diesel, 2010 Kia Forte with success using the same Valvoline MaxLife ATF FLUID with no issues at all. Keep in mind those transmissions are not CVT but the process is similar except for the ATF FLUID.

      Nothing is risk free, but I'd change it. You don't really have the choice to change it all at once. Most people get about 2.5 quarts out of an 8 quart transmission, so you're only going to get about 1/3 out per change.

That means you need 6 quarts. You replace the 5 quarts and add half of the 6th quart then the draining of excess fluid using the fluid temperature controlled method. See other videos on here for that. Did this at 130K after just buying the car. No problems after days of driving.

      You probably have the 4spd automatic, the 2014-2016 corollas came with 3 transmissions, a 6spd manual, a 4spd automatic and a CVT, this video is for the CVT only. The CVT gets better gas mileage and is alittle faster than the 4spd auto, but to your benefit the 4spd auto is easier to service, is stronger than the CVT and has been time tested to last over 400k miles. The manual is the only transmission in the Corolla that can out live the entire car if taken care of properly.

Every Mechanic I have watch on You tube says Do No do the Machine flush, as it will force high pressure fluid into your Tranny, and can do damage. I am very hesitant to take it to the dealer for this unless I know they will do the drain and fill method only.

    I have a 2003 Toyota Corolla with about 200,000 miles on it that I just purchased I’m not sure if the transmission fluid has ever been changed would you recommend that I just do a drain and fill or completely flush it out and change it? I have heard a lot of bad stories about flushing the transmission fluid on a high mileage and then it makes the transmission slip afterwards please help

    • @williesteele4503

      Never, ever, do a high powered machine flush on a high mileage car. It will very likely damage the tranny. Those stories are true. I verified this with my Local transmission shop. They won't do it either if the vehicle has high mileage and has never had the transmission fluid changed.

    You don't need to take the tire off to add fluid. There is a little plug on top of the transmission that you can just pull up on and it comes off. It's like half the size of the hole on the side. It's a plastic plug. I watched a video of someone putting a tube in it and pouring the same amount into it.

    Does the lower half of the CVT chain actually sit immersed in the fluid as it runs around the pulleys? I'm curious, as the belt on even high-powered snowmobile CVTs (around 200 hp) run completely dry. Those belts do require periodic replacement, however.

    • @williesteele4503
      @williesteele4503 10 месяцев назад +1

      Toyota says the CVT fluid is a "Lifetime fluid" there is nothing about changing it or service in the Toyota manual, believe me I looked. Every Mechanic on You tube disagrees with Toyota and says to change the fluid at around 60K miles. No fluid is ever a "lifetime" fluid. all fluid gets dirty over time.

      Toyota recommend CVT fluid to change every 60k or 6 years.
      Since you can't completely empty all the fluid inside the transmission during change, I'm changing mine every 40k or 6 years will maintain good mixture of old+new CVT fluid.

    Do you need to recheck the fluid level if you put the same amount of fluid back?

    • @williesteele4503
      @williesteele4503 6 месяцев назад +1

      I think you are suppose to check the level. He didn't do it on this video, he just replaced what he took out. He mentioned he was going to do this drain and fill 3 more times after driving it around and to have more new fluid in there. which makes sense.

  • @dstuart8931
    @dstuart8931 Год назад

    I'm sorry, but something about this re-fill procedure doesn't make sense... or maybe I'm just dense that's certainly possible. As I understand it, the goal of the fill procedure is to get the fluid level even with the top of the drain overflow tube when the fluid is at the correct temperature. Get it to temp and then drain it until the fluid reaches the top of the tube (slows to burble) then put in drain plug. So when the fluid is cold, it should be BELOW the level of the overflow tube... right? So why does ANY fluid come out when you pull the drain plug on a cold tranny if the level was set correctly? The fact that a bunch of cold fluid comes out BEFORE you pull the overflow tube tells us there's clearly more fluid in there than would be specified by this refill procedure. In other words if you follow this procedure you'll end up with significantly less fluid in the tranny than when you started. Why not just put back in the amount that you took out, plus a little? I'd appreciate any explanation... what am I missing? Great channel... very educational. Thanks!

    • @johndorrell1
      @johndorrell1 3 года назад

      After the final drain and fill, Petr does bring the fluid to the correct temperature and replaces the drain plug as the fluid slows to a trickle. As he told us, he didn't have time to show us that procedure.

  • @brycefrazier8173
    @brycefrazier8173 7 месяцев назад

    As informative and educational as this video is, it confirms that I will never buy a car with a CVT unless/until they make it MUCH easier to service. The convoluted and repetitive process of drain, drive, drain again, drive, drain again is just absurd.
