Project #23 - Toyota Corolla Oil and Transmission Fluid Change
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 сен 2018
- In this video, I demonstrate how to change the transmission fluid in a 2012 Toyota Corolla. I also changed the motor oil at the same time.
Here are links to the parts I used:
Toyota P/N 00289-ATFWS Automatic Transmission Fluid amzn.to/3KJdGeX
ATP B-207 Automatic Transmission Filter Kit amzn.to/3ej0P6Z
Oil Filter amzn.to/3Bbs7Fs

I actually got a comment from a user who pointed out that the torque values I used were for the 2003-2008 Corolla (with 1.8L 1ZZ-FE engine). According to his service manual, the 2009-2013 Corolla (with 1.8L 2ZR-FE engine), has different values:
Transmission Fluid strainer bolts - 8 ft-lb
Transmission Pan Bolts - 5.75 ft-lb
Transmission Fluid Drain Plug - 36 ft-lb
So the values in my video are a little off:
Transmission Fluid strainer bolts - 7 ft-lb
Transmission Pan Bolts - 4 ft-lb
Transmission Fluid Drain Plug - 13 ft-lb
That being said, I didn't have any issues using the torque values that I did. The biggest difference was the drain plug.
I’ve seen many videos about how to change transmission fluid, this is the most useful video . Very organized and clean work !!!!!
Thanks Ameer!
I totally agreed with you this the best DIY by far...
Because of your awesome video, I was able to do this on my 2012 Corolla today (also gray!). I have 124K miles on the Corolla and was having no problems with the transmission at all. The dipstick says NO NEED TO REPLACE ATF UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS so I put it off until I watched your video. Fluid on the dipstick was a little dark, but not bad. I used Toyota ATF WS fluid, a genuine Toyota pan gasket, a Toyota drain plug gasket, and a WIX filter. Total parts cost was $90 compared to $270 at two local Toyota dealerships, and that price is just a drain and fill, no filter change! You saved me a bunch of money and I got the satisfaction of getting dirty and doing a more complete job. I bought a torque wrench because of you, it worked great, and gave me some piece of mind. Great camera angles and commentary in your video. Thank you for the inspiration, Vance!
That's great! Glad it helped you out!
I've had no "trouble" with my 2012 Corolla except for one area-- I have had to replace 3 of the 4 door lock actuators. Have you experienced any trouble with yours? They don't fail completely all at once, they start to have intermittent problems locking and unlocking. I have had good luck with rebuilt actuators on ebay for $50 to $60. Also, just verified that my VIN number is included in the recent air bag recall involving ECUs that need a noise filter. I already did the front passenger airbag inflator recall.
@@daver5934 Luckily I haven't had any issues with door lock actuators. I'll keep the rebuilt option in mind in case it happens, though. I did get an airbag recall service done a while back. I don't remember anything about an ECU though. I'll check in to that on mine.
@@daver5934 Interesting about your door actuators - I have a 2002 Corolla (same as 2003 US Corolla model, 9th gen) and the rear left door doesn't operate on command with the central locking. But occasionally, like once a week or so, I'll find the damn thing unlocked. I guess it's mostly broken but intermittently does unlock with the rest of the doors - but never locks itself again. So I have to walk around and make sure it's locked any time I go anywhere lol (it's a right-hand drive vehicle). Been on my list to learn how to pull apart the door trim for a long time and see if it's just a bad connection or something. Figured I'd have to replace the actuator though.
Excellent video! Greatly appreciated! Perfect amount of
detail and simplicity!
love the vid! thanks for including the torque specs also
Great video, thank you so much for making this video. I am not a Mechanic, but after watching this video I can do it. God bless you.
Good video. Quite similar to the earlier Corollas, mine is a 1996 AE102 and has the different length strainer bolts you mentioned. A couple of things we did differently, one was tightening the internal bolts ( above the strainer ) to 10 Nm ( 7 ft/lbs) and all were loose, and when securing the pan the bolts were done in a crisscross pattern.
Awesome tutorial brother! Saved me time and money.
Great pace of instruction, nice video clarity and HD crispiness. Thank you for the torque specs and quality of instruction. This was encouraging. I'm out to tackle my 2011 Corolla. Thank you sir!
Thanks for watching!
Great video, I am by no means a mechanic, but after watching your video I'm positive I can change both oil/trans fluids +filters. Probably save about 300$ in the process, and I'm also positive I will need to watch again while doing them😁...Thank You Sir👍👍🔧
Thanks for posting the 2009-2013 torque values.
Excellent video and explanation with wonderful details. Especially appreciated the torque values.
Thank you!
Great video, the best part is the transmission pannel and filter replaced. Thanks for your lesson.
Excellent video. Thank you very much for filming and posting.
By far the best how to video man! Aside to the fact that tomorrow morning I’ll be doing the same things to my car, you kept it plain and simple but with enough info and dialogue. Great job man
And no modern bone head music. Thank you for that too. Also, do not torque oil filter cap nut too tight, probably less than you think, if you do not use a torque wrench. I did and had to buy an impact wrench to get it off. Kind of a Mickey mouse clip to hold it in place, I ended up using a piece of metal and a big adjustable hose clamp.
Great video, just did the work. Strainer/good practice worked out well. Nice to do a complete job. Looking forward to more 2012 Corolla videos. Especially rear drum brakes if you happen to need to service or replace them. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Last time I did brakes, the rear ones looked great, so I just did the fronts.
He's methodical... and that makes it much clearer.... Be absolutely sure it is well supported and stable on jacks !
Great video I have seen others with oil splashing everywhere. I just changed mine. One step I did forget was putting a little oil on the o ring. Good idea. Thanks for the tips!
You're welcome! Glad it helped you out!
Great video and very easy to follow your instructions steps by steps. Good job
The most useful video of changing transmission oil
Thanks!
I was searching for corolla transmission oil change and found your video
I like the way you do and I love your work.keep good work.
Greetings from Egypt
Thanks!
Great job ! Well done, showing the necessity to use a torque wrench. You're good, buddy !
Thanks!
Very clean work and useful
Good job man keep it up
Thanks!
Great video. Very informative and easy to follow. thank you so much
Thanks for watching!
Excellent video. Thanks for producing.
Thanks!
Thank you, this video was super helpful! Going to attempt it on my 2013 corolla.
Completed the atf drain and fill with zero problems. Your video was super helpful! I bought the same filter from Amazon and fluid from Toyota. Saved me over $290 for what the dealership would have charged! Thank you!!
That's great to hear! Thanks for your comments! Saving money is always a good thing!
Great work. Thank you!
Very informative video! Thank you 👍🏻
Great video man
Greta video. Thanks for sharing that information.
Nice video, thanks! I’ve found Toyota WS gets very dark very fast. I did a complete flush on my Highlander at 45k miles and it was as dark as yours. Now I change do a drain and fill every year, which is only a few quarts (not the full 12 for a flush). Also, I like the idea of a quick drain valve! I stripped the transmission plug on my Lexus (despite using a torque wrench) and let me tell you, paying $145 for a new pan (parts only) from the dealer down the street is not something I ever wish to repeat!
The drain valve is for the engine oil pan not transmission oil pan.
Great video, you're very meticulous, thanks for posting.
Thank you!
I hope you will get more views from toyota fans. Please, keep doing great jobs :-) from Madagascar
Great video, thank you!
Very useful. Thank you !
Great video!!!!
good video! I learned much! I will try to do it!
Appreciate your help.
Nice very similar to the avalon. Helps alot thanks. 👍👌
Very professional info-video.
Nice job!
Thanks brother great video
Great video
Thanks!
Great video brother thanks
Fantastic thank you for sharing sir.
Well in Going to do it this week. Thanks for tutoriall
How did everything work out?
Good job!
Very professional, Thankyou.
Thanks!
Great job thank you for the video
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
Well done. Choice of oil filter cap wrench is right on (although the Motivx MX2321 may fit better). And drawing attention to the torque spec is a plus. I would trust you to change my oil and that earns you a thumbs up.
Only thing that I can mention is that the official instructions say not to use a pick or screwdriver to remove or install the o-ring. While I feel that is a bit anal, it's probably worth mentioning that if a person is going to use one of those be careful not to damage that plastic oil filter cap. 😉
I would also fill the engine oil up to closer to the full mark on the dip-stick. And I would take the car for a 20 minute drive to warm up the transmission hopefully to operating temperature and check that transmission fluid dipstick to see if it was in the hot zone as it should be. Technically the transmission fluid is suppose to be between 158°F and 176°F but since Toyota doesn't give you a gauge to read that, you kinda have to cross your fingers. 😉😏
Outstanding video!!! Ty.
Thanks!
Very good video.
Nice video i seen so far on ATF flush!
This was a atf CHANGE, NOT a flush. don't post what you don't know, you'll deviate people from the truth
Thanks. My toyota yaris looks the same. Torque specs i found: 5.75ft-lb for 19bolts, 8ft-lb for the strainer, and 36 ft-lb for the drain bolt
I actually got a comment from a user who pointed out that the torque values I used were for the 2003-2008 Corolla (with 1.8L 1ZZ-FE engine). According to his service manual, the 2009-2013 Corolla (with 1.8L 2ZR-FE engine), has different values:

So the values in my video are a little off:

Transmission Pan Bolts - 4 ft-lb
Transmission Fluid Drain Plug - 13 ft-lb
Nice work, Vance! You make it look easy.
There is one tip I read about on one of the car forums. Just before you put the gasket on the transmission pan, you can smear the edge with a thin layer of grease or motor oil. This holds the gasket in place. So it's not moving away from where it is supposed to be, as you lift the transmission pan and put the screws in.
Has anyone tried this trick? Ferris Bueller, Ferris Bueller, anyone?
Yes, that works good. Done it many times.
While the filter is out you could as well tighten the bolts that hold the transmission valve body. They could loosen overtime and tightening them to spec (8 ft-lbs) will improve shifting.
That's a great idea! Thanks for adding that info!
Buen Video - Excellent Video
Very well done, thanks
Thank you!
good; slow enough to show all the needed steps. With a secure lift method and a torque wrench, we can do it ourselves.
Nice tutorial
Thanks!
Nice video 👏
Thanks!
Very nice video , I have a 2012 Corolla and I'm researching this so thanks... as an FYI and possibly a cautionary note, the Haynes repair manual for 2003 thru
2013 Toyota Corolla specifies a torque for the transaxle pan bolts of 69 inch pounds for 2009 thru 2013 vehicles. It specifies 48 inch pounds for 2005 and earlier. Also it specifies for the transaxle drain plug a torque of 36 foot pounds for 2009 and later; and it specs 156 inch pounds (13 foot pounds) for 2003 -2008.
(BTW,it gives no specs for the torque on the strainer bolts, other than to tighten them).
Thanks for watching! The link below is what I found when I researched the tightening torque values. Not sure if I would trust a Haynes manual or not; its up to you. Good luck with the project!

@@VancesHowTo thanks Vance!... I'll check out the link
Very detailed :):):)
Thank you share clip
thank for you video
Would recommend when doing this to flush cooler out, by finding the cooler return line and putting that into a drain pan and overfilling the trans fluid by around 3 qts and run it until clear
非常专业！👍👍👍👍👍
hey would you happen to know if the differential is lubed by transmission oil? i am trying to find out if the differential takes a different type of oil but cannot seem to get a direct answer. From what im getting so far is that once you perform a transmission oil change you are also doing differential oil change as well
Nice!!
Damn your oil filter cap was so easy to come off 😲 wish mine was like that Lmao 😂 going to use a impact wrench soon when I do my maintenance
Make sure not to tighten it too hard. I made that mistake and it took me forever to get it off.
Thanks for the video but I have a question do we have change both oil at same time or we can change the transmission oil only?
Thanks for sharing . Can you tell me that many quarters you used. It’s 3 or 4 ?
Mr Vence thank you for the video. By the way do you know what it is the code p1602?
Is there an alternative way to clean the oil strainer rather than replacing them?
Hi, ia your corolla transmission a Cvt K111 or a K311? Tanks!!!
Hello Vance, I have a 1999 Toyota Corolla LE. The online manual says it need between 2.7-3.3 quarts. I have about 3 quarts. The dip stick has the fluid level between the too marks of cold when the fluid is cold. When the fluid is hot it is at the tip of the dip stick below the cold. If I add more to where the fluid is on hot, the fluid will be above the cold marks when the fluid is on cold. I check the dip stick while the car is running(on parked) I’m confused on what to do. Any suggestions?
Thanks fro you .
Hi dear, I have Axio 2013. Do we need to do any calibration after the transmission oil change..?
Like the tutorial on the transmission oil and filter change! Now, How well the after market drain plug (engine oil) works? Did you trust on it? 2010 Corolla owner
It works great. I have used these little valves on my cars and on my tractor for years. Never had a problem. They are a great product!
What is your opinoin of rtv sealant gasket maker in addition to the gasket?
Thankx sir
Nice video, thanks. Where did you buy all your parts?
Hey i have corolla altis 2010 automatic i replace my gear box becz old one was taking jerks on shifting from 3rd to 4th gear. Now after changing i used normal automatic gear oil should i change to WS?
That is a transsmission failure filter (its purpose is to stop chunks of metal from spreading through the tranni if there is a failure). It doesnt need to be replaced. You can just spray it out with some brake cleaner if you want and re install or just leave it alone. It has a steel screan in it.
I didn't know that! Thanks!
May i know how much cvt fe oil needed for altis 2011? 🙈
Does this procedure apply to a 2011 Corolla S? Same transmission filter and transmission fluid?
if i drainout the torque conventer, how many liters does it take for corolla 2009???
Vance, may I know that is it a filter at the transmission side and a filter at the oil change side? They are served at different areas? To fill up the transmission, is it 4 bottles of the ATF WS that put back to transmission?
Yes, the transmission fluid filter is different than the engine oil filter. Transmission fluid needed for the fluid change is 4 quarts.
what size key fits the drain plug radiator?
Vance, that petcock drain valve has a very low flow as compared to removing the regular drain plug. I feel the quick rush of the oil is better to flush out the oil pan. Petcock could also be knocked off if road debris flys up and hits it.
Those are definitely good points. My only complaint is how long you have to wait for the oil to drain with that valve.
Hi this video you did rocks . I have a ? My daughter corola just hit 100k dealership wanted $549 for transmission Oil change I was what lol so I just purchase the oil and filter the service guy told me I should get a 1 gal of ANTIFREEZE/coolant pink color he said I have to change that too have you hurt or find out any inf bout that
When you took the oil pan off theirs a part thats grayish, like a cylinder, do you know what's that called...I went and hit a curve and broke th oil pan and that cylinder looking part and I don't know if I should replace what broke or the whole transmission, if you can help il appreciate it.
Is it the part I replaced? That's the transmission fluid strainer. Otherwise, you may want to get it looked at by a mechanic.
Thanks. So what are the values for 2003-2008?
Hi. Didnt this transmission drain plug have another plastic drain plug within that needed a hex key to remove which in turn drains more fluid?😮
Hello Vance question: is changing the transmission fluid really necessary? Well my Corolla is 106,435 miles and it’s running perfectly let me know please thanks
What size wrench for the drain plug??
How is the transmission? I thought the fluid would be T-IV , it usually says what's required on the end of the transmission dip stick.
Do I need new transmission fluid for 3q? is it?
Make sure to read the description for updated torque specs. The trans drain plug is 36 ft-lbs, not 13 ft-lbs.
You may want to inform us how many QTS you put in , and where to it should be when it gets hot the mark on the dip stick thanks for that demonstration also everyone should know that to change out the trans fluid ,all of it the cost is 300 dollars at Toyota dealer 15 QTS just FYI guys and should be done every 60,000 miles
Is it recommended to change out the transmission pan bolts? Thank you for the video too!
I've never heard of replacing the pan bolts before.
Toyota has the most reliable engine.
