As a Master Certified Automotive Tech, I enjoy watching videos of people performing repairs on vehicles. I have watched many other videos of people performing transmission fluid & filter changes on Toyota corollas and this is by far the best one I have seen. You take the time to explain everything carefully and in a very detailed manner. Great video...
Wow, thank you what a great compliment to receive especially from a fellow Tech. 👍
@@redpillgarage Great video and the steps are straight. It's easy to follow. Thanks.
@@jimmytho5424 Thanks glad you enjoyed it.
Hi where can I get full toyota feilder 141 121 and Honda insight full assembly and repair videos thanks
Well explained how to do that. Thanks.
Finally a mechanic that uses a torque wrench. Great job and super video. Clean and careful work.
Thank you.
Yeah, except he didn’t torque down the transmission pan. Only the fill and drain bolts. I’ve watched so many videos read so many forums looking for the answer. Nobody gives you the damn spec. The bitch will leak if you don’t torque it down, right
I need to find a mechanic that puts this much attention and care into their services. 👍🏼
Thank you.
By far the best video on RUclips to do a Toyota Corolla CVT transmission service
Thank you very much Dan glad you enjoyed it.👍
Thank you for this video, im a guy who wants to do everything by him self because i have trust issues and this video helped me a lot❤
Your welcome! 👍If you decide to perform the service, add an extra 250mls/quarter of a litre on top of what is specified. I did not show this in the video as its not part of Toyota specifications, but it is common practice for us Mechanics to add a bit extra as to prevent any over heating issues or settling over time. Better to have a bit more than not enough.
@@redpillgarage Yeah, Now that i have done it i am thankfull for your help and i added the extra you mentioned thank you for helping me again🤍
Muy bueno y clara explicación, excelente taller amigo, y como decimos aquí, no hay mejor trabajo que hacerlo con las herramientas correctas..hasta con torque incorporado.. genial.
Thank you.
That overflow tube is a trap for new players. It 's a reminder to always read the service manual first. I wonder how many guys ended up covered in fluid when they removed the pan.
Thanks for the video and the detailed info! I always carefully measure the drained fluid and put in a extra 8oz on the first service. Once my tube and pan plug are in they stay in,70k miles and still running smooth.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you,
I used this video to service my 2020 Corolla CVT transmission at 20K miles. I purchased a Toyota pan gasket and filter for this as well as a couple gallons of Valvoline TS CVT fluid. Total fluid out was 4.5 quarts. I was surprised at the amount of sludge I cleaned from the pan and magnets at only 20K miles. Pan removal seems to be very important for the first fluid drain.
I'll be sure to do the same at 40K miles. If the sludge is less than the first time, I'll extend the third service interval by 10K miles.
I also did a temp check which is 97F to 113F while engine running and vehicle level. This is important if you cannot determine the exact amount of fluid drained.
Regards, Grandpa
G'day, after completing the temp level check and top up, always add an extra 1/4 litre more even though it's not specified in the specifications. This is what I personally do. It's recommended by all trany specialist I know. By adding a little extra won't cause any problems. Thanks for watching.
Very nicely done and explained. Thank you
You are welcome!
Very well explained. Thumbs Up Mate!!!
Thank you
Very good and detailed explainations..thank you so much
You are welcome
Thank you for this video ❤ I have a Toyota Corolla 2016 I bought it with 39 thousand miles.
Your welcome.
That was a great explanation and video. Clarified a lot. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Wow, I've learnt so much, thank you!
You're so welcome!
Hello sir I live in northeast Florida I was happening I could use your services, when I go to my local toyota dealership iam always told its a life time fluid it never has to be changed for the life of the cvt transmission thank you great video my friend
G'day @donaldshearer7551, I'm actually located in Sydney Australia. When a dealer/manufacturer says the term "life time fluid", what this actually means, the life time of the vehicle's warranty not the life time of the car itself. This is very deceiving to the public thinking that the fluid will last forever, eventually causing catastrophic damage to the cars trans and your pocket, and they still get away with it world wide. It is a marketing tactic that they sell to the public saying you never have to service your trany. Because I'm located outside the USA, what I recommend for you to do is ask friends, relatives, or neighbour's if the have a trust worthy Mechanic that they trust for you to use, or try Google and read the reviews carefully as some may be fake. When you do find a Mechanic, make sure you tell them what you want done to your car (like in the video). Do not let them talk you into upselling something else. Hope this helps, and thank you for watching my video.
USA spec says the CVT has to warm up to between 93 degrees F to 114 degrees F and THEN check the level . Becasue temp makles the fluid expand. And correct level will be set by the fill tube AFTER temp expansion. Prehaps the shifting and 30 second wait 3X helps to fill the voids after a Filter replacewment service. But the very last step should be letting the CVT get to its specified operating temp to set the correct level .
Thank you.
Thank you. Watched a different and the guy did exactly what you said not to do ( leave the plastic tube in while filling). You made the other guy look like a hack. This actually gave me confidence to do this myself.
Glad you enjoyed it thank you.
Tube in or out for filling. Seems to me you need in for filling or when you pull plug out for levrl check you'll drain out new fluid that you just put in.
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent 👍 🙏
Thank you.
Awesome 👏🏻
Thank you! Cheers!
Well done, I have a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport. I'm sure the same rules apply. ( mostly ) :)
Hi, always check specification procedure. If you get it wrong you could over heat the transmission and that's not cheap. Its critical that the oil level is correct, most manufacturers require the oil level checked at a certain temperature using a scan tool or a infrared thermometer.
How awesome is this video! I'm in the market for a new car , but I want to know the ins and outs of different transmissions before i decide. Cheers from Perth
Glad it was helpful!
Great work. But I think the temp has to be with range to check the level. Otherwise awesome job
Good day mate, so far your method is the best I've seen. What if I don't want to replace the filter? Is it the same process? My vehicle is 2020 Rav4. Thank you. Emmanuel from Sydney.
Hi E.M, the process is similar but you'll need to get your hands on the specifications, some vehicles require the oil at a certain temperature, oil quantity, etc. But yes similar process. If it has done a lot of kilometres I would recommend a filter replacement, if not you can get away without changing it.
okay so i rang 2 toyota service centres today in sydney to ask for a quote to do the job in your video, both declined, say its not part of their maintenance.
Called a few chain mechanics ultratune, mycar, they listened they walked away...
so i think the verdict on this is pretty clear..
I think it would require some effort to find a mechanic who will do this job
G'day, try Marko Automatic Transmissions Specialist : (02) 4732 3024 these guys are very good at what they do.
Thank you ❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Greetings from Chile, very good video, I already have all the elements to maintain the CVT transmission of my 2017 rav4. The only problem I have is that I have not been able to find information on the tightening torque that I should give to the bolts of the frying pan. I hope you can help me with that information please. A hug .
G'day @alejandrocentonzio9730, sorry I don't have the specs for your enquiry.
Hi Sir, your explanations are excellent! May i ask what’s the reasonable labor cost of doing the CVT fluid change job? I have the exact same car and located in Melb, who should I find to have a proper fluid change like you did?
Thank you
G'day gsgfdesf55, in Sydney approx $120 to $180 for labour + parts all depends in the location of the repairer. After watching my video tutorial you should have a go at it. Its only hard if you don't understand. By watching the video step by step whilst your doing it yourself you'll be ok. I don't miss any steps in my videos so my subscribers know all the full details of all my work. I have seen other youtubers over the years and they don't always show the viewer the complete process and that's when you'll get stuck. If you are unable to do it yourself for what ever reason, I would see a good independent Mechanic with good Google reviews or a transmission specialist. Just make sure you tell them that they must change the filter and ALL the oil as shown in the video, otherwise they will do a drain and re-fill. It is unfortunate that in our industry the word "SERVICE" has many different meanings, so make sure you tell them exactly what you want done.
Thank you.
I really enjoyed your video and info! A couple questions though. Is this the newer k120 transmission? I drive 2020 Corolla and don’t want to pay the crazy labor price here in the states. Also is there really no specific torque measurement when bolting the pan back in place? And I’ve also seen other videos where they say you have to temp the oil to get a proper fill. How relevant is it for this process. Thanks again!
G'day Alberto, the transmission in the video is a K313. I usually tighten the pan bolts by feel and don't use torque specs, the reason for this is in the past I've not been happy with some settings as they are to loose, after 33 years of experience you develop a good feel for certain things. We cant always trust these automotive engineers as they constantly make mistakes, and an example of this is constant vehicle recalls around the world almost on a weekly basis. Using the steel gasket you wont need to worry about over tightening as the bolts but up against the pan you wont be able to tighten it much more than that. Yes some transmissions you do need oil temperature up usually around 30-45 degrees Celsius. There are to many conflicting ways on refill procedures out there that becomes really frustrating even for mechanics, for example I use 2 different software programme's and sometimes have 2 different specifications for the same exact car. I use 2 auto transmission specialists with very goog reputations which do work for dealerships on a regular basis, and they tell me don't even waste your time going over specs on refill procedures, once you've got the oil dripping out from the over flow or check plug hole, then screw the plug back up and pump in another quarter to half litre oil, this is when your finally finalize the oil level, including running through all the gears and temperature settings with the engine running and in park, (NOT with motor turned off). (I did not do this in the video as I did not want to confuse people if they referred to their specifications, not to create confusion). In your case you have a different model as to the one in the video is a 2017 model, so its best to say to get your hands on the refill procedure specifications to be safe. Having said that the procedure is similar as to the video you watched. By the way thank you for spending the time to watch the video. Hope this helps.
Awesome thank you so much for this information and taking the time to respond! Finding good info like your videos is really hard to come by! Please continue in what you do cause it’s helping a lot of people save time and money! God bless you!
I'm 99 % sure this procedure is the same on the US Corollas CVT ty so much for the video
Your welcome
Great job! Can you please tell us what is the torque specs for the transmission pan bolts? Thanks.
G'day Dajen thanks for watching. I usually tighten the pan bolts by feel and don't use torque specs, the reason for this is in the past I've not been happy with some settings as they are to loose. Also keep in mind if you do use the specified torque specs that will be for the steel pan gasket not cork etc. For example if you were to use a aftermarket gasket (cork or paper) you will overtighten it and cause a trans oil leak. I use the 2 leading Australian online specification ( Boyce & Auto Data) and both don't specify any pan torque settings. I recommend on using the genuine steel gasket and when you tighten the bolts up all the way in, what you'll find it wont turn much more, unlike bolting up a cork gasket. Hope this helped.
I just put in about 1/2 quart more than what drained, then do the level set procedure.
G'day @jeffkeryk3550, once you've set the final level, I then personally put little more in approx. 1/4 litre.
It is said that the filler tube is to help leveling the fluid but only if it's at a specific temperature. If the fluid is over the specified temperature then the filler tube will give it the wrong level and it will end up underfilled, if done cold or not hot enough then you can end up overfilling since fluid expands as it gets hotter.
What is your take on this? I learned this from the car care nut channel .
G'day @waltermauricioherrerasanch841, that is correct, you will need to get the temp specs way out for that to happen, its like saying how long is a piece of string lol. What I personally do is add an extra 250mls to 500 mls more to be safe, even though the specs doesn't mention this but this is what most Mechanics do. By adding a small amount of fluid is perfectly safe to do. When I made this video approx. 2 and half years ago there was no temp specs, but now that has changed. Thank you.
I would really like to know the difference between this procedure, and that for the K120 box on the E210 2022 Corolla.
Unfortunately I haven't done a video yet on this model, maybe as they get a little older.
I love that the trans in my cheap Corolla that I bought because it was cheap and got good mileage, requires a complicated fluid change and EXPENSIVE A$$ fluid. Yay for my poor ass!
Lol
Great illustration.
How did you ensure that the proper qty of fluid was replaced. Since Tranny fluid expands with heat, Toyota calls for the level to be checked when it is within a certain temp range. The spec for the K313 tranny (2ZR-FE / FAE) is between 35C- 45C (95F - 113F). The engine has to be running when monitoring the temp along with the fluid from the drain plug. You close the drain plug when the fluid reduces to a trickle within that temp range or at a minimum the drained fluid should have been measured and replaced with the same qty
Is there a reason this step was skipped?
G'day @ab-zo4su, at the time of filming this video over 2 years ago I followed the Toyota specifications 100%. From time to time manufacturers will amend or update specifications. I didn't agree with not suppling temp specs at the time. Just to let you know, when ever I've serviced a new car with a CVT, the trany always needs a top up. What I personally do is always put an extra 1/4 - 1/2 Litre trans oil in the trany with engine running and in gear. Also if temp specs are not supplied I normally top up around the 35 - 45 degrees Celsius. (most manufacturers specify 35 - 45 degrees Celsius). Thank you.
Dumb question as I probably already know the answer and am just hoping I can be lazy lol, but is there not enough room in the transmission case to add 5 quarts initially, then crank the vehicle, run it through the gears, and then remove the 6mm hex plug and let it drain until there is a small trickle from the overflow tube?
G'day @josephherring8761, you might be able to get away with it, but it's always best to stick to manufacturer's recommendation. By doing so you won't be creating any problems.
Thanks so much for the video! I have the exact same model. Does this mean I don't need to measure the temperature when setting the level as long as I follow the procedure and add the extra 250ml to 500ml cvt fluid as the final step.
G'day @brettaitken2542, At the time of filming about 3 years ago that was the re-fill procedure with no temp specs ( going through the gears would bring the temp up ). Now Toyota recommends between 33-45 degrees Celsius. Yes, you can put an extra 250ml on top of what is specified.
Great thanks so much! Appreciate the feedback and the amazing videos!
Hey I have an IMPORTANT question.
Firstly I just want to say that this video is incredibly educational and helpful as I have a CVT corolla with 150k miles.
My question is:
I don't think I'm able to get my hands on a new drain pan gasket, transmission filter.
Should I
Option1) Just replace the oil all the oil by removing the plug, pan, and filter, cleaning them and reusing those same parts(pan, filter, gasket) back onto the car?
Option2) Just replace the oil by only draining the oil by only removing the drain plug and orange plug, and not removing the drain pan? (I've seen multiple other RUclipsrs do this, but it doesn't make sense to me as there's clearly a lot more oil left inside the pan and oil filter, and that will just contaminate the new fluid).
Option3) Don't change the oil at all, leave it as it is.
Please let me know which of these do you think I should use, or if you have some other suggestion to add, I would be very grateful if you can help me out.
Thank you in advance.
Thank you for the question. I would go with option 1, but if your trany has never been serviced and the oil is burnt black, this option could be risky as it may disturb/dislodge any large dirt particles that could float around and cause a problem. You've probably heard that saying if its not broke don't fix it. Then option 3 sounds better. If the oil isn't burnt then option 1 is good to go. So you'll have get a sample of the oil onto a clean piece of paper. Just remove the fill plug on the side of the trany and get a clean piece of long wire like an old coat hanger that you can cut a piece off the long side and use that to get a sample of oil. Hope this helped.
Hey mate , I saw a guide from eautorepair for the 2014-2016 corolla with a k313 CVT transmission and where the instructions differed from your video is that either a Toyota Techstream tool or bidirectional scanner if available was to be used to put the car into , 'Active Test' mode to detect oil temperature and adjust fluid levels. Alternately , if Techstream tool or bidirectional scanner was not available , pin 13 and pin 4 for the OBD2 port were to be shorted to put the vehicle into 'Active Test' mode.
I think the guide was for the North American E170 Corolla Sedan and not the E180 Corolla Hatch/Auris.
My question is that is this necessary for the e180 Corolla Hatch? I have a 2013 pre-facelift corolla hatch and would like the service the transmission in the near future.
Cheers
G'day Vin, It can be confusing out there with similar makes and models. The best thing to do is get the specs for your car, try Google first. Don't worry you won't cause any damage providing the trans has sufficient amount of oil init. Most times you'll get away without using a scan tool or Active Test Mode. I'm assuming your trans does not have a dip stick, general rule of thumb with CVT transmissions once you've reached the correct level to press and HOLD the brake pedal then place the trans in drive (2 man Job, get someone to help you) and you'll be able to pump in more oil until it comes out from the overflow plug (this procedure is not part of factory specifications ask any trans specialist and that's what they do and recommend to the dealership otherwise no warranty). Its better to have more oil than not enough as you can over heat the trans if the oil level is to low. Just make sure the car is dead cold so you don't have to worry about temperature specification, the time you spend pumping oil in and re-checking, the temp will be around the factory specs anyway. I'm assuming your from Australia, I've always used Marko Automatic Transmission Specialist (02) 4732 3024 they are in the Penrith Sydney area. These guys have always performed good trans rebuilds for me for more than 20 years. Hope this helps, and thanks for spending the time to watch my video.
Can you please tell me what torque to use for toyota corolla 2018 transmission
1) pan bolts
2) inside 3 filter bolts
3) plastic drain plug
4) main metal drain plug
5) the bolt where we put transmission oil in?
G'day @KalindKPatel, I currently don't have access to any torque settings. Try doing an on line search, thank you.
Good clear instruction but does some Corollas have a eCVT system?
G'day @davewebster1627, best thing to do is to contact your local Toyota dealer to find out what models have this.
What is the service interval schedule for these cvt corollas, great in depth video thanks !
G'day, according to Toyota Australia, never needs serving. But they do mention every 40,000 kms service, to perform a "Inspection, correct or adjust as necessary" are their exact words. As common sense tells us nothing will last forever. This is clever marketing, reducing the cost of serving whilst under the warranty period, after that, they wouldn't care if your trany failed. To prevent this from happening any honest Mechanic would tell you to get your trany serviced every 50,000 kms. If you use your car under what they call "severe driving conditions" for example towing, you may need to service it earlier. Hope this helps.
@@redpillgarage thanks!
@@samuelgrieco2572 your welcome
so i maybe a little confused, what stage in refilling the oil did you put the 5 liters back into the car or however much comes out of the car?
Gday TLG, around 11:30 into the video I began the refill procedure.
very nice video, thank you my friend, but if I have a question it's have 2 dipstick? one inside oil pan and one up ?
G'day thank you for watching. This is the K313 transmission in a 2017 Corolla it does not have a transmission dip stick at all. If your transmission has a dip stick it would be the previous model to the one in the video, which means you can easily top up from the dip stick tube only. If your Corolla is the same as the one in the video (2017 Corolla K313 trans), you'll have to follow the same procedure in the video. You may have to watch the video again to get familiar with the re-fill procedure, take your time so you feel confident to do the job. You may want to play the video one step at a time on your phone while doing it. Hope this helps, thank you.
@@redpillgarage thanks you man..
I have Mazda Cvtf DJVA transmission and have dipstick same like engine oil level check..
i have the same car in your video with cvt transmission, it makes whining noise at speed 15 to 20 mph, it was like that when i buy it brand new, dealer said this was the torque converter noise and is normal. but i dont believe the dealer, i think its because it have less fluid. if you give me your opinion on this matter i will really really appreciate your help.
Thanks for sharing. It is not normal to have this kind of noise from the trany, it should be quiet. I would take it asap to a good independent mechanic with a good reputation or a Transmission specialist. They can give you a diagnosis in writing. A brand new car should not have any type of noise at all. If it was low on oil the trany should slip when driving. If their diagnosis is correct, the torque converter is making the noise, this will lead to it over heating the trany, burning the oil and eventually causing major damage, so get it checked ASAP. Let me know how you go, hope this helped.
I have always been advised never to use lubricants on the wheel studs as the torque rating is on dry studs. Lubrication will cause more torque to be applied to the studs.
G'day @TomSkorupski yes you are correct, but from my personal experience after 35 years I prefer doing it this way for at least a couple of reasons, I've never once had a problem. Also, take note that this particular car does not have the factory wheels. I noticed that the wheel nuts did not line up perfectly with the "Disk Wheel" of the rim. So I would rather have it slightly tighter than normal. Keep in mind that the manufacturers have so many re-calls these days that sometimes you have to use common sense. Thank you for watching the video.
@@redpillgaragedo the after market wheels have hub centric rings? If not that probably explains why they don’t line up. Genuine Toyota wheels are hub centric 😀👍
@@timwilson5471 G'day, this does have the h.c.rings, I don't think these wheels are perfectly suited for this car.
Other videos suggested that you have to get the transmission up to a certain temperature? Did you avoid this because you dropped the pan down?
G'day @belatorius3442, at the time of making this video ( 2 years ago ) Toyota did not specify temp specs which at the time I also thought was odd. Manufacture's are constantly updating specs and performing recalls. To be safe you can always add an extra 1/4 - 1/2 litre of trans fluid at the end. This is what I personally do with a CVT trans service, even though its not specified to do this. All the transmission specialist that I know, recommend this should be done with CVT trans service's. When running through the gears and checking the level, it would generate enough heat that it would be approx. around temp specs. Thank you.
Great video. But are you supposed to warm the new fluid to 95 degrees to get the fill level right?
G'day John, at the time of the video recording my specifications instructions claims to only let the engine idle for a 30 second warm up. Some manufacturers say 30 degrees Celsius, others say 50 degrees Celsius on other car types. I have seen over the years specifications change from time to time. All I can say is that I use Boyce's Autolibrary data specifications and also Autodata Technical solutions for all my specification needs, and to this day I've never had a problem. Both software specifications don't mention anything about temp settings which I found to be odd also. My trans specialist has always told me to pump in an extra 0.25 - 0.5 of a litre of oil, this method is common in the industry. What you have to be careful of is, if your checking the fluid level too hot (indicating a higher oil level) you may cause the trans to overheat when cold or it may slip going around bends, as trans oil expands as it warms up, in other words the trans level could be too low if your checking the level when the oil is too hot. Hope this helped.
On my 2015 Corolla CVT the temperature spec is 35 to 45 degrees C. Per the Toyota manual.
@@jshepard152 sounds about right.
Outstanding video, thanks so much. I was curious, you didn't mention the Transmission Fluid temperature being monitored, with a 2006 Toyota Tundra the final trans fluid level check is done with the trans temperature at a sepicfic range and then overflow outlet is checked for a trickle stream? Thanks so much !!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes most transmissions you have to check the temperature. According to Toyota there is no temp specification on this model 2017 at time of publication. I guess that's maybe why they say turn engine off after 30 seconds not to get it hot, thanks.
@@redpillgarage For the 2014-2016 corolla with a k313 CVT transmission , a table in a guide published by eautorepair shows that during 'Active Test' mode which can be done by connecting pins 13 & 4 of the OBD2 connector or using a toyota techstream tool , it says that the , 'Fluid Level Adjustment
Temperature' is between 35-45 degrees celsius.
In 'Fluid Level Adjustment
Temperature' mode , the overflow plug and bolt gasket of the CVT transmission is then removed so that either the overflowing fluid can flow out till a steady drip or more fluid is pumped into the transmission if no fluid flows out from the overflow plug.
I'm just not sure whether this is applicable to the e180 Corolla hatch but the guide just states 2014-2016 corolla with a k313 transmission.
Cheers , buddy
@@sneedsfeedNseed007 G;day mate, yes it does apply to the E180 with the K313 trans, it is the same procedure. Another thing you can do also if you don't feel confident, is to measure the quantity of oil removed from the trans and then you'll know exactly how much to put back in.
@@redpillgarage Thanks cobber , that was loads of help
Fluid lavel is checked with the engine running . Is that correct?
Hello, did you put 5 liters of oil, it does not show well on the gauge and one more question I have a Toyota Auris 2015 hybrid before the facelift, how many liters of oil does the gearbox collect and at what km interval is it recommended to change.
G'day @user-jd3ld7yy6m, yes approx. 5ltrs trans oil. We don't have Auris model in Australia, I recommend every 50,000kms to service the trans if you want it to last for many years. You have some options to check for specs on your car, you can go to the Castrol website and type in your licence plate number and it will show all the fluid specifications for your car (this is what Castrol Australia has to offer their customers). Also you can call your local Toyota dealer and quote them your chassis number and they will tell you how much oil you will need to purchase. Or you can check in your owners manual that came with the car. If your trans code is a K313 then it should be the same as the trans in the video. Thank you.
Hi Red
Does Toyota corola 2023 has direct shaft in cvt transmission
(dcvt)to help cvt in the bigning of car motion and thanks
Yes they have the launch gear.
Canadian resident here...Just wanna share my unfortunate experience with my local Toyota dealership. Last year i took my CHR to their place for transmission service and almost had to kneel down & beg for it as those folks just didn't believe the necessity of tranny fluid replacement ("It is life time fluid"). So basically after I begged over and over again they got pissed and did some "drain and fill" (well, allegedly)... then my transmission went out. They refused to take any responsibility because I "insisted on a service that is not needed". That dealership is owned by a powerful family which allegedly owns half of the city so i didn't even bother to take any further steps. I went to another mechanic who took the transmission apart and found coolant contamination...and yeah i had to pay $9K out of pocket for a new tranny.
G'day @FC-ue1yc, absolute nightmare, what a horrible way to treat a customer that's willing to throw money at them. All I can advise in the future to never use any new car dealer unless it's warranty work. It's always best to find a good Mechanic from a local small business that's got good Google reviews or word of mouth from friends or family. I'm guessing you know this now, but what "Life time fluid" actually means is the life time of the "new car warranty" and not the life of the car. You might want to check with your insurance as in Australia some insurance company's will pay a large % of the repairs. Hope this helps. Thank you
Ottawa?
I followed this procedure an all went well, but the drain pan is dripping fluid a little on the back side. I pulled the pan off again and replaced the gasket with an OEM gasket. So I got to do the job twice. :) But the darn OEM gasket is leaking some fluid too, still getting a few drops on the driveway. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Did over tighten the drain pan bolts? Under tighten? Any ideas?
Oh no! G'day @tarheelhemoglobin, the first thing you actually need to clean that area so it's absolutely dry, then you need to pinpoint the oil leak exactly, in other words, you need to see the oil dripping from the source, no guessing. If you had cleaned both surfaces correctly then it won't be the gasket, more than likely either the pan bolts are too loose (if unsure get specifications torque settings) or it may be leaking from one of the pan bolts itself. If it is leaking from a pan bolt and it's tight, just remove the bolt and apply some automotive sealant or thread locker Loctite 243 to both threads. Are you sure this oil leak wasn't there before? When cleaning the surfaces make sure you didn't put any deep scratches with a scraper in either the trans or the pan, if this is the case, just apply automotive sealant to resolve the problem. Without seeing it myself I can't say much more than carefully retrace your steps. Hope this helps.
I am very curious about one thing, why not put the entire extra fluid in at the end, so the overflow plug has at least a full quart over, not just a "trickle"? Seems this would be much safer as to not letting it run low for any reason. Other than that, I think this is the BEST video for explaining everything I need to know on how to do this full procedure now, not just the drian-and-fills, like I've been doing. Thank you sir!
G'day @Cyclingmasterseller, when making these video's I try to stick to the manufacturer's specifications to give the viewer an accurate service like performed by Toyota. I personally don't always follow manufacturer specifications as manufacturers are always putting out so many recalls and sometimes they still can't get it right. I usually put an extra 1/4 - 1/2 litre of trany fluid in most trans work that I do as the manufacturer does not specify to do this. As an example, every time I've checked the trans fluid level in almost every new car that I've serviced, always needs a top-up. Thank you for watching.
@@redpillgaragethe extra 1/2 liter is interesting, I don’t understand why so much oil is overflowing the first time you remove the overflow plug, if the level was correct,shouldn’t you just have a trickle?
@@S35CANAVERAL Yes correct if following Toyota specs. But not all Mechanics agree. All trany specialist I know say this is wrong, always put an extra 1/4 - 1/2 Litre more to prolong the life of the trany. Keep in mind when you go to a new car dealer to get your Trany re-built, they send it to a Trany specialist or the try to sell you a new transmission that cost many thousands of $. I have more trust in the trany specialist that has decades of experiance and common sense copared to a new car dealer. Thank you.
I let it go to 100k miles. I’m going to change it now and hope it doesn’t slip
How did it go?
How much do you think it would cost to program a 2016 Toyota Corolla transmission cuz I just replaced mine and it’s not really working and I did some research they said you have to program so how much would you program my Toyota?
G'day @Mrpxndrifter, it can cost approx. $75 - $200. I recommend giving Marko Automatic Transmissions Specialist a call Ph:(02) 4732 3024, these guy are very good. Thanks.
It looked like you were pausing right before the torque wrench clicked and moving again until it clicked. Or is the sound just out of sync and the wrench was actually clicking before the audible click is heard?
I honestly can't remember a minor detail like that, too long ago. What you see on the video is what you get no special effects.

G'day @salvadorgomez9803, you can watch this video How To Flush Coolant. ruclips.net/video/NMkL3Wo4Cyc/видео.htmlsi=iXjLLTYc0WpMioN4
Is there a specific amount of torque for the drain pan screws?
G'day @macditty, I currently don't have the torque settings for the pan bolts. I prefer not to torque pan bolts up as I have found over the years that it has caused oil leaks as they are not tight enough. If you decide to torque the pan bolts up, it will only work with a genuine Toyota gasket only. If you are going to use a non genuine gasket you can't use the Toyota torque setting as you'll cause a oil leak by damaging the gasket (if it's not a metal gasket). You maybe able to Google the torque settings. Hope this helps.
Hi, great informative vid, just a quick question, the CVT from my Australian 2015 Corolla whines at about 100km/hrs, and I was wondering if that is an indication of a need for this transmission service?
G'day Steven, Its possible it may need a service, it could be a number of things like a clogged oil filter, low oil level, diff bearing, or the beginning of the end of your transmission. Without me looking/listening at it I don't want to send you down the wrong path. Check the oil level first. What you should do next before you spend any serious $$ on your car, get it properly diagnosed. If you are thinking of performing a trany service you could be wasting your money, so get it checked first by a Mechanic with a good reputation or a transmission specialist. If they say to you it simply needs a service because the filter is blocked, then you can service it your self just like I performed in the video. You did not state how many kilometres your car has, if it has low kilometres I wouldn't think it would be serious as Toyota transmissions are very reliable. I don't know what state your from, but if by any chance from Western Sydney I recommend giving Marco's Transmissions a call in Penrith, they have a very good reputation. I wouldn't waste your time going to the dealer as most dealers will drive your car to a trany specialist for diagnosis, then slug you with a cost. Most importantly to be safe, just check to see if you car has ever had any factory recalls for the trany (call local Toyota dealer). Hope this helps.
Hi Steven, my old 2014 corolla hatch (bought in Dec 2018 with 96k mileage) with CVT did exactly the same. Once I reached 100km/hr, it made that countinuous whine, not very loud but I got ears for car noises and know when something isn't normal. So I took it back to Rockingam Toyota within 14 days of my purchase, had their mechanic sit with me and took a drive on freeway. Turned out it was CVT bearing and their mechanic said Toyota would have to replace the whole transmission for you because CVT's can't be repaired. Toyota Rockingham did try very hard to delay and ignore me for 3 months because they did not want to replace something that would cost around AUD 8k to AUD 9k. I finally had to visit Toyota WA head office to make a complain and guy their made a phone call to them asking to fix it for me. I even marked my old transmission unit with a screw driver at 3 different locations because I completely lost trust in dealerships and thought they would just acid clean my old transmission and refit it haha
So then I got a brand new CVT in my car and guess what? Same whining, this time considerably low. They said it's normal but it's not and I had to make peace with it.
Now I own another, 2013 hatch, same CVT and everything, just bought it like 4 weeks ago with 58k on odometer and there's no whining in it.
@@gilgitister Thanks for the advice. I searched online for months for owners with similar problems and it seems this is an extremely rare case. My corolla has about 150,000kms and I 've owned it since 123,000kms. When I first picked it up, I notice the whine immediately as I drove onto the freeway, but as it was from an auction, I couldn't raise a case to get it fixed. The transmission actually runs perfectly fine, with absolutely no problem with how the car drives in spite of the irritating noise. I've actually raised the issue with Toyota Moorooka while getting it serviced and they said it was due to the "new tires", what a joke. Over the past 27,000kms I've driven it, I've come to terms with it being "normal" and just drown it out with music while on the freeway, and occasionally it doesn't whine, such as before the engine fully warms up or after driving for over an hour, weird. Just a quick question also, when I let the foot off while on the freeway, the whining stops, did this happen to your car too? When I noticed this I immediately narrowed it down to something to do with the transmission.
@@redpillgarage Thanks for the super informative response! Based on your checklist we can rule out oil filter and level as my vehicle was serviced on time by Toyota Moorooka in QLD and I hope to dear God that they serviced it correctly. Seeing as that’s what dealerships would probably do, I will take your advice to have it checked out by a reputable transmission specialist. I’ve also contacted Toyota about any recalls and the car is all in check. I’ll update on any new information I get from the specialist. Thank you again, you’ve earnt a new subscriber, I’ve actually used 3 of your videos and managed to restore my headlights, replace my batteries, and properly remove my tires!
@@stevenlam4802 You're welcome. I too spent hours searching for similar cases on every forum including toyota owners club and whirlpool Australia but to no avail before contacting my dealership. You're right, either it's a very rare CVT problem or owners having similar noise haven't noticed it or feel like it's normal because of this other whistling noise toyota cvt makes upon decelerating on low speeds (flying saucer effect). Even the technician took a while before he noticed the noise and just to narrow it down further to CVT, I asked the technician if they have a system in place at their workshop where they can raise the entire car and do 100kms just to eliminate the road/air noise and then maybe it's more clear, to which he said yes they do have and he will definitely carry that out on my car. So he came back after another 30-40 min and confirmed it was the CVT bearing. Another thing was when I went to Toyota WA, they said Toyota Rockingham tried to pass this on to us as if Toyota Australia is responsible for something like this, which made me thinking that it could be some sort of manufacturing fault and not general wear and tear with usage.
To your question, Yes, as soon you lift the foot off, it stops and like you said, other than the irritating noise, my CVT was smooth as butter. And mine always made that noise on the freeway.
Hi sir, is this Corolla a ZRE182R type model or ZRE172R type model? Just felt hazed about how to select correct Automatic transmission filter on eBay. Thank you.
Gday, the Corolla in the video is a 2017 ZRE182R 1.8 Ltr engine. Thanks.

G'day @tercelito92, simply just take your sample to the local Auto Parts Store and they will easily match it up for you. It is a very common size.
Hi, what model is this? It says Corolla in the title but it’s clearly an Auris. Is it the 1.6 or the 1.8 hybrid? Toyota told me that my 1.8 hybrid doesn’t have the filter… could that be?
2017 Corolla ZRE182R 1.8Ltr Petrol only, with a K313 trans.
Question can you reuse the old gaskets for the drain and fill plugs or is it recommended to replace them?
G'day @FIVESTARPOKEMON, you can get away with it, but its best to replace them. What you'll find is that you will have to tighten them a bit more as the aluminium gasket washer is already partially crushed from the last time it was tightened. Once you've tighten them both, just check for any leaks after a test drive. If it's okay then you can leave them alone till next trany service and replace them then. Thank you.
@@redpillgarage Thanks so much for the quick reply and detailed answer!
@@FIVESTARPOKEMON you're welcome
In my corolla service book, it never mentions replacing the transmission fluid, only says inspect it every 2years or 40k. Do you think it's still necessary to replace it every 100k? Cheers
G'day @au750, yes I would definitely replace it, no oil last's forever.
Hi Red Garage, thank you very much for your video. I am going to change transmission fluid myself. just wonder if you could tell me what is your car transmission volume. mine is an australian model 2017 1.8L ascent sport hatchback, with a volume of 7.9qtrs.
Yes, absolutely 7.6 Litres total refill. You will need to buy 2 x 4 Litre containers. If your not buying genuine oil make sure you look up on oil companies website which oil they specify for your car, for example if you decide to by Castrol oil look at their oil recommendation guide for your car. Do not ask at your local parts shop as they often get it wrong, resulting damage to the transmission. Hope this helps thank you.
@@redpillgarage many ones showed us on their youtubes that they could only replace about 2 litres each change. You amazed me by doing this for 5+litres. I tend to buy Toyota genuine cvt fe fluid though it is very expensive here AUD142/4L. No much alternatives otherwise here, Penrite and Nulon are both local makers having some reputation but I am still a bit cautious. BTW I have some idea about how to measure the fluid with some common sense. That is what I am going to do---first, loose the filling bolt then remove drain nut, some amount of fluid comes out and stops flowing, then we get Volume1-V1. second i will remove the plastic over flow tube and the pan, i won't record the volume V2. after new filter and gasket (do you use glue for the gasket?) are put in and pan restored with the plastic overflow tube in the original level, and leave the drain plug off, we then fill in fresh fluid till i see the first drop from drain plug, meaning just reaching top of the overflow tube. finally drain plug tighten and add V1 equivalent fresh fluid into the filling hole, that will be the exact balance of in and out fluids, given we do this procedure under the same temperature.
Hi, I never use any glue for the pan gasket as the genuine Toyota gasket is metal and a 1 use item and its very cheap to buy. If You are unsure at any point of the transmission service you can re-watch the video or play step by step as a guide not to make any mistakes. Good luck.
@@redpillgarage thanks a lot
@@redpillgarage I have now drained near 6.3L of the CVT fluid. Unable to get the filter so use the old one. Just wondering whether you have the torque of nuts of the transmission pan. I cannot find it. Thanks a lot.
So filter housing bolts and pan bolts get no torquing ? or did I miss it.
Hi Julio, I usually don't torque the filter and pan especially if they are after market, I personally don't recommend it. I've never had a problem with it.
HI, The owners manual does not shows at how many miles i have to change the cvt fluid, i have corolla 2020, somebody can tell me where i can check that information? thanks
G'day @user-ke3ir8jf5r, best to speak to your Mechanic as he knows the condition of your car. Make sure you give him enough info so he can tell you his recommendation when to service the trans. For example do you do short or long trips? Does it have a tow bar? Is it driven aggressively? Extreme heat and so on. A average recommendation to perform a trany service would be 50,000kms.
i have a corolla altis 1.6 automatic, how many liters do I need to put on the transmission fluid cvt fe waiting for your reply.
G'day Aries, the information supplied is not enough. You'll also need to supply year model, trans code, or licence plate number. The easiest thing for you to do is simply type in your licence plate number on Castrol website, and it should give you all the fluids and quantity required for the car. Another option is simply check your glove box manual also. Hope this helped.
I see what you did at 8:00 😂😂😂
Nah not me 😁👍
@@redpillgarage yeah who did that not you not me 🙃
May I know why you didn't do the temperature thing that most mechanics on youtube did? Like the basically top up the transmission fluid, bring it up to temperature, and then drain, and apparently that's the correct amount of fluid.
G'day
@samuelcarvalho3691, at the time of making the video back in 2021 my Toyota specs did not give me any temp settings which I questioned at the time, and was told the time spent running through the gears would bring the temp up to specs. What I do with every CVT Trans service is always add between 250mls to 500mls extra than what the manufacturer specifies. This is common practice in the industry because lets face it the dealers are constantly publishing recalls, they still can't get it right. Just to give you an example, every new car that I've serviced ( 1st log book service ) with a CVT Trany I've always had to top up the level once set at correct temp specs. Also our Data is always going through updates where they make corrections, it can be really frustrating. The Dealers never checks the trans oil level. I've had new customers come to me to check their CVT oil level because the Dealer won't do it in the service. Yes you are correct trans oil final top is checked at the correct temp settings.
Great video, thanks! What year is that Toyota? I have a 2021 and at the dealership they told me that they don't remove the oil pan but suck the oil out through the fill hole. So obviously they won't change the filter either.
G'day Mike, it is a 2017 model.
Hi sir , i have a question for you , i have replaced the old fluid to a new one from toyota cvt fe like in the video and follow your steps one by one to the end but i have use 4 L of fluid not 5 L , is that ok if i drive the car with 4 L ?! , i have ordered another 4 L to add one more liter maybe two days from now i will receive it .
G'day Rabsal, I recommend for you not to drive the car as this will cause the transmission to overheat. Also you may find the trans could start to slip when going around a bend, this on its own can be a danger to you or others in the wrong conditions. It is not worth the risk.
@@redpillgarage thank you sir I'm really appreciate your help
Approximately how many quarters did you use ?
Thanks in advance
G'day @marcosgarrido2686, have a look at 1:50 time in the video and then convert to quarters. Just a quick tip also, once you have completed the trany service, just add an extra 250mls on top of what is specified in the video. thank you.
Why did you lube the wheel studs and then torqued up all the way to full spec? That lube will fool your torque wrench into going ~30% higher than spec.
G'day @greggie111, yes you are correct, but from my personal experience after 35 years I prefer doing it this way for at least a couple of reasons, I've never once had a problem. Also take note on this particular car does not have the factory wheels. I noticed that the wheel nuts did not line up perfectly with the "Disk Wheel" of the rim. So I would rather have it slightly tighter than normal. Keep in mind that the manufacturers have so many re-calls these days sometimes you have to use common sense. Thank you for watching the video.
How many pounds of pressure did you put on each transmission screw?
G'day Jonathan, I always do the pan and filter bolts by feel as over the years I have found the factory specs to be a problem from time to time on some transmissions. Keep in mind you can't use factory torque specs if you are going to use a after market gasket (cork gasket) as this will cause a leak eventually.
had toyota do a CVT service at 40k miles on my 2020 corolla. Im now looking at the invoice & it doesn't say anything about changing the filter. Do you think this is a issue & should I just worry about it at the 80k service & have them changed the filter as well?. Toyota doesn't even look at the CVT until 120k miles which I didn't like & decided to get it serviced every 40k or 2 years
Hi, they probably haven't changed the filter as you have not been charged for it. Service could mean 3 different things, for example, 1) they drained what ever comes out from the overflow plug hole (drain plug), 2) remove the trany filler tube, 3) remove the pan and filter. My guess is they did step 1 or step 2 also. The only way to find out is to call them and find out exactly if they removed the trany filler tube which means most of the oil was removed. If they didn't change the filter this means the trany sump was not removed. Its up to you. You can wait for the 80k service at least the oil has been changed, but at the 80k service make sure you tell them to change the filter also. I wouldn't worry about it at this stage. Hope this helps.
@@redpillgarage yeah I figured since it was a CVT service it would be the filter as well. Specially for the price of the service lol

How can i proper use the manual mode, the engine break during long downhill
Please advise me. Thanks
I’m your new subscriber
Hi, I'm assuming your car has a CVT trany, it is no different from a non CVT trany when using engine braking going down hill. Just make sure you lift your foot "off" the throttle and gently "apply the brakes", and then shift the lever over to manual mode. The trany will automatically work out the resistance applied to slow the car down, but you "still" have to apply brakes through out the down hill run, other wise over time with regular heating and stress of the trany you will shorten its life. Depending how steep the downhill is, the trany will not slow the car down on its own, you will also have to use the brakes. Its cheaper to replace brake pads than replacing your trany. I hope this helps, and thank you for subscribing.
@@redpillgarage thanks
This car has very weak engine braking. S and B modes help. B is specific for engine braking.
This video is a masterpiece. A couple questions I truly hope you answer.
1. I currently have a Toyota Scion im 2016 and am at 67,300 miles and have never done a transmission fluid change. I plan on doing one soon as possible as soon as I have some clarity.
For a toyota scion im 2016 how many miles should transmission fluid changes be made? Do you always replace all the parts just like the parts in your video?
2. I get a little bit confused and was hoping you can walk me through step by step how to perform the final task when your video hits 11min.
The total number of quarts my toyota scion im takes for transmission fluid change is 7.9 quarts. This is where I get confused in your video. Once everything is replaced screwed and you go into the final steps of pouring the brand new oil in the FE hole. How does this work step by step? Do I pour in 1 quart at a time? screw the bottom? screw the Fe hole? and then unscrew the bottom and it should not pour out? Can you please give me the step by step play for the last steps in pouring the 7.9 quarts in the transmission changing the gears every 3 seconds and screwing and unscrewing the bolts to know when the oil should pour out and when it should stop? Could you just pour in all 7.9 quarts of new oil in the FE hole and run through the gears and be finished?
My biggest fear is messing up and ending up in 10k costs for messing up my transmission. I follow the video extremely well until 11 minutes and the final step with pouring in new oil, when to let oil leak out and then when it stops and how many times this process is repeated with 7.9 quarts of new oil going in the final step process of filling the FE hole.
I thank you so much.
@redpillgarage
G'day @nenadkomljenovic3017, answer to your first question, I recommend 50,000kms maybe earlier if driven hard or extreme driving conditions. Yes most times I do replace all parts including the filter. If the car is driven in a stress free environment and your on a tight budget, then you can skip the filter change until the next trany service. Next, don't worry about how much oil you pour into the re-fill/FE plug hole, just pour it in until it comes out from the over-flow plug hole ( "do not" pour in your 7.9 quarts in one go, it was not designed to take that in one shot ). So to put it as simple as possible, just keep repeating that same step ( including running through the gears ) until you get a constant stream of oil at the end like I did. This step will have to be repeated 3-4 times until "finally" the oil keeps pouring out ( I think this is where you are getting confused because its repetitive and I didn't film repeating the same steps over and over again as it would of been too boring and the video too long ). Don't worry you will not cause any damage to your trany. For this to happen you have to run it low on oil, thats the only way you'll damage the trany. Just a couple of tips before I finish up, when you are doing the trany service, have your phone close by, so you can watch each step and pause the video until you completed that step. 2nd when you are completely finished with all the steps and the oil is finalised, I want you to put an extra 250-350mls approx. more than what is specified. This is to make sure you have a bit more oil that is required, this is playing it safe. I did not mention this in the video as its not part of the Toyota Specifications, but it is common practice amongst Mechanics. Just take your time and strictly follow my video and you'll get it 100% right. Hope this helps and thank you for watching my video.

Is this the same procedure for a 2023 corolla le?
Almost, but to play it safe, it's best to get your hands on a workshop manual.
At what temperature the oil drain should be done and when is cvt oil calibration is required ?
Hi, specification does not list a recommended temperature for this 2017 Corolla, but generally its best to service the transmission at ambient temperature. I personally recommend to service the transmission every 50,000kms if you want many years trouble free motoring. Just a reminder CVT transmission cost a few thousand $$$ to rebuild if it fails. If you are planning to keep your Corolla for a long time then I recommend servicing it. If you are thinking of selling the car in the near future, then don't bother. Hope this helps.
@@redpillgarage Thanks 👍. What is cvt oil pressure calibration from the software ....I have seen in some videos .
Its performed by using a scan tool to make sure the transmission runs smoothly. If major work is being carried out like transmission replacement, computer/ECM, oil pressure sensor, or even Yaw rate, and acceleration sensor, then its best to perform a reset memory or calibration as you call it. If this is not performed the trany may have drivability issues. For example if you were to replace the ECU or main computer in your car, it will not start and run, it will need to be programmed. Unfortunately that's the way the industry is, they want you to take it to the dealer so you cant fix it your self.
@@redpillgarage thanks again , nice explanation.
Toyota's service manual lists the CVT tranny fluid check to be done between 35 -45C (95 - 113F) with the engine running.
I am in Sydney and have all parts listed in the video on order. Can you perform the service for me ?
G'day @Galaxys-tz1kq, at the moment we are currently closed/not operating anymore. I can recommend 2 workshops that do high-quality work. R & G Vaccari Mechanical Repairs. Ph.

@@redpillgarage thank you will give them a call.
Do you always replace the filter with the fluid?
G'day Pat, yes I personally do. You can get away without changing the filter if you want. for example, if the trans oil is not too old but the trans may have had a hard time like towing a trailer perhaps I would just change the oil even if its not due for its schedule trans service. But if the oil is overdue past its maintenance interval its recommended to also replace the filter. Think of it like your engine, the car may sit around for a while or short trips like less than 10 kilometres per trip and no where near its due kilometre service you can get away with just changing the oil only. Most cars need to complete 14 kilometres of driving for oil to reach its normal operating temperature. Hope this helps.
@@redpillgarage it does help. I’m thinking about getting one if these cars and drive about 60k miles a year. Sounds like I’d better change it with each service. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I have corolla 2019 E18 . And its 60000 km now . The toyota dealer said no need to change it transmission oil its life time. He said they will just check it .and i dont know what to . Should I change? Or listen to the dealer? . Pls help .and thank you in advanced
G'day @fouadsaleem3475, The dealer did not explain himself properly to you in saying " oil is life time", what it actually means is the oil is the life time of the "warranty only", for example if your car has 5 years warranty that means the oil will expire after the 5 year warranty. This is very deceiving to the public and false. No oil will last forever this is B.S. Does this mean we should never change our engine oil also? The dealer doesn't care because once the warranty is over and if you are unlucky to have a transmission failure it becomes your problem as the warranty has expired. They don't include trany services in their regular service because it's too expensive and bad marketing for them, for example if you go to buy a new car and ask what it cost's to service it will scare many people away as it would be a very high price and people wouldn't buy the car. This is why they have "fixed price servicing" as it's a lot cheaper for them to service. To put your mind at rest, you can speak to another Mechanic with good Google reviews or even a trusted transmission specialist. Yes I recommend to perform the trany service now. Hope this helped, thank you.
Thanks for your answer. I agree with you 💯 I need to change it. But the issue is the dealer don't have such a service . And I have asked many workshops to do that ,thy said according to toyota instructions never change the transmission oil ( that's is Sally) . I live in sweden. I really don't know what to do.
@@fouadsaleem3475 G'day it sounds like those other workshops are useless also. I don't understand why no one wants to do the work, unless they really don't know how to do it. Keep asking around untill you find someone honest enough to do as you ask. You can also try a smaller workshop like a family run business, they're usually more confident in the work they do and listen to customer requests. After all it's your car and your paying to get the work done. How stupid are some Mechanics to refuse such easy work like that. Talk to a trany specialist and tell them thats what you want done. Tell them you already know what Toyota recommends BUT you still want to do the trany service anyway, it's your money your spending not theirs. The absolute last resort you have is to do the work your self and save a lot of money. Just watch a few different RUclips video's to build some confidence and you'll be okay.
I don thing I well fine someone's how did the job in honestly and professionally and clean as you did . It's fantastic job you did 👏. I dont want to get my transmission box damaged .
@@fouadsaleem3475 I'm sure you will find someone to do the job for you, just be patient. Thank you.
Hi i got corolla 2015 hatchback how many litres refill transmission fluid if replace the filter as well ? Thanks
the information supplied is not enough. You'll also need to supply model, trans code, or licence plate number. The easiest thing for you to do is simply type in your licence plate number on Castrol website, and it should give you all the fluids and quantity required for the car. Another option is simply check your glove box manual or Google it also. Hope this helped.

Do you use any sealant cover?
G'day @albaniapascal7102, no I only use gaskets. The only time I'll use a sealant if there is some type of damage or imperfection to the surfaces that may possibly cause a leak.
How often should I change the fluid
G'day Classace, as a guide you can service/inspect (inspection 40,000Kms) the trans as per manufacturers service interval as stated in your service manual. It also depends on driving conditions, for example does it do short trips, long trips, carry heavy loads/tow. Most Mechanics would recommend approx. 50,000kms to perform the trans service. You can also get your Mechanics opinion on your car as he would be familiar on its current condition, like if the trans oil is burnt/discoloured for example. If you don't have a current Mechanic, I would recommend to just get it done every 50,000kms as these trans cost several thousands of dollars to replace. Hope this helps.
Is this for Corolla with the 2.0 engine?
G'day @zzzzz1682, no this car has the 1.8Ltr engine.
Hi how many litres refill fluid in car?
Hi Gopi, about 5 litres.
10:47 need to add glue to it in order to stick
If your not using a gasket yes.
Merhaba. İlk dolumu alt tapa açık yapıyoruz sıvı akınca kapatıp motoru çalıştırarak tüm vites kademelerini gezdiriyoruz. Sonra stop edip alt tıpayı açıyoruz. Yağ sızana kadar ekleme yapıp tıpayı takıyoruz. Atladığım önemli detay var mı?
G'day @nafiklc, just follow the same steps as in the video. Once complete, just add an extra half a litre of trans oil just to be safe. Better to have more oil than not enough if you are unsure ( low oil level can cause the trans to overheat). Hope this helps and thank you for watching.
Teşekkürler.
Your Welcome@@nafiklc
Hi there, my scion im has 100 thousand miles never change the transmission is it still safe to do so?
G'day @ericacosta2335, it is risky at that mileage. If you decide to do it just make sure you keep all the old oil in a clean container. If the trany was to play up you would have to remove all the new oil and re-use the old oil again.
Do you suggest changing the filter and re úse the oil?
Thanks in advance
Yes I would just in case. So in other words if the trany was to play up just put the old oil and filter back in the trany and it should go back to normal. @@ericacosta2335
