Thanks Peter for the introduction to a necessary service. Using fresh fluids along with some regular servicing will prolong the life of almost any vehicle.
You are an outstanding teacher, instructor, mentor. Love your videos! Everything is clearly explained and you don't take for granted that your audience understands things that they likely may not know from your years of experience. I'm so glad I found your channel.
I thank you very much. You and AMD/the Car Care Nut are the caretakers of my recently bought 2001 2.2 Camry. Without the two of you, I would feel somewhat helpless :)
I change my transmission fluid regularly in my 1996 Avalon. My differential is separate from the transmission. I have a fill and drain plug on it. I use a hand pump to pump the fluid into the differential. The power steering also takes trans fluid and I syphon it out of the reservoir and fill with fresh fluid also. The car has 225k miles and still runs great!
Great Video! I Inherited my greatgrandfather's old camry. Same year same motor. Already did, timing belt, waterpump, and valve cover job. This job is up next.
SAL R 7:35 and 9:23 Differential bolt access SOLVED for you. My 10mm SnapOn hex/Allen socket is too long with any ratchet or breaker bar. Slip a 10mm BOX wrench (or ratcheting wrench) & also a pipe, if needed, over the hex/Allen shaft to loosen/tighten. No tool cutting, no ratchet or breaker bar needed. Simple. I have this exact car and color, Japan model, just changing mine at 113K miles. Toyota Dexron III ONLY.
Hear it likes to turn on ABS light for other reasons too. Failing alternator or other electrical. And also dirty wheel sensor. mud, road grit, grease or combo of any.

We have a 2004 RX330 with 150k. Never serviced the transmission since we’ve owned, do you think we should change fluid or wait? Also have a 2012 RX350. Please do a video on transmission service on 2010 + Lexus.
This helped me in a few ways, one you zoomed in the differential. I wasn't sure about my drivers cv axle went in all the way and its not suppose to as the dust cover rests on the outside of the diff. Second, I realized my fluid looks black (I've been a bad boy). Thank you.
@@nicewknd Not all! But some engines more than others. That's why Toyota recommends 6mo/5k mi intervals on the older ones now which is an update from when they came out and it was double that interval
I have a 4 cylinder version. I believe the differential and tranny are not connected. In my case I will have to fill the differential with a pump. Great video though!
Excellent video, thank You.I have Toyota Sienna 2001 with exactly the same V6 engine. I wasn't sure if there is a differential transmission fluid (gear oil) fluid in the transfer case or not. At toyota dealership they told me 85w90 gear oil and they were clearly wrong. Your video is expaining it very good. Subscribed.
Thanks 4 yr great video. I have a 94 Camry(Aus) with a 3VZFE & A540E. My diff looks exactly the same as this one but has a fill plug (17mm bolt on the same side of the diff as the short side axel). I have just drained the pan, drained the diff, drained the ATF oil cooler, removed the pan and fitted a new filter. After refitting the pan and both plugs I filled the diff till ATF started to dribble out past the fill tube in the diff (about 4 liters). A check of the Transmission dip stick showed an ATF level that was half way between the Cold mark and the Hot mark. I was surprised - I'd managed to over fill the transmission thru the diff. I'm gunna run it and see how it goes. The ATF oil cooler is empty and the 4 liters confirmed by yr video sounds about right. Thanks
Hi. Thanks so much for your work and videos. I have the '95 Camry with the 1MZ-FE engine and planning to do a transmission fluid change. The manual says the fluid is DEXRON II. Can I use the Toyota ATF WS instead? Thanks and Merry Christmas to you!
NO. Do NOT use WS fluid. WS is only for 2002 and newer Toyotas. WS fluid is not backward compatible with previous Toyota fluids or Dexron fluids. Use Dexron III, the improved version of Dexron II. Avoid any issues, buy the Toyota brand. 5 qts are $44 on Ebay, $55 at the dealer.
I have a 2002 Highlander with the V6 1MZ-FE engine, two wheel drive. Will this same procedure apply also? Is my differential sharing the Transmission fluid with the transmission like in this Camry?
I was actually concerned for a minute because i remember reading about the differentials being seperate, but i can relax that the auto trans fluid is shared on the V6. I'm presuming this is the same for the Australian market Camry/Avalon of this vintage that are mated to the A541E ?
For anyone reading this - I have a gregorys manual covering the aussie avalon 2000 - 2006 . Mine is a 2005 avalon. Has a auto transaxle which means they are (have) shared fluid arrangement. the a541e gearbox. not separate.
Thank you for your excellent videos. You are a great teacher. I have a something to share,, though. In your video you say that all 1mz fe engines have transmissions that share oil with the differential and the differential will not have a separate fill plug. I own a 94 Camry with the 1mz fe 6 cylinder engine. I recently did the at drain and fill in both the granny and the differential but I did notice a fill plug on my tranny. I called the dealer to ask about this, and after checking the v.i.n. on the car, they confirmed that in fact this car has a separate fill plug on the differential and at has to be added via that separate fill plug.
Seems like there ARE some 1mz fe engines that DO have a separate fill plug for the differential. Can you share and clarify for me and your other subscribers? I would really like to know if I should follow your advice or the Toyota dealer's advice. Thanks again for your excellent videos. I'm a big fan.
just got done doing this on the 5sfe you had me worried at first with the "shared"fluid till u said v6 shewwww,so i did it right 🤣my fill plug for the diff was on so tight i had to use the double opeen end wrench trick and it felt like i was gonna break the wrenches
Even after a tranny fluid flush and change, my 2004 Camry V6 (USA) still makes a whiny noise when first accelerating. Could it be clogged or the tranny pump is going out ?
I believe he did a lot we didn't see for this video. See how that dexron in the diff was pure and clean? Never saw so little come out before. For sure he forgot and just started it up and somehow filled it.
Hi Sir, I'd like to replace front Differential 0il & Transmission Oil for Camry SE 2010 V6 the first time. What kind of Differential 0il that I need & how many Quarts? Thank you so much.
Great video! I was surprised that you used O'Reilly's ATF Fluid. I've always been told, "Use ONLY Toyota ATF Fluid on a Toyota". However, knowing your knowledge on Toyota's, I now know that as long as the required "Grade" is met, manufacturer is not as important. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I try to change my Toyota Transmission oil every 50,000 miles and it looks about like the fluid in your video. I really believe in required maintenance. I will stick strictly with recommendations.
Any brand of fluid that meets manufacturers specs is fine. Why spend more $ on "Toyota" fluid? That being said, the fluid that came out looked in really good shape. I would have waited a few thousand miles before I changed it
Probably because it's dex III, which is readily available in the aftermarket. However, no one in the after market specifically sells the Toyota T-IV or WS fluids - I wouldn't trust those 'multi-vehicle' fluids that claim to work with every transmission under the sun.
I have the same exact car and engine 1mzfe I'm on my 3rd tranny drain and refill and I can tell you the fluid is alot cleaner and you can definitely tell cause im getting way better mpg and it shifts alot better. I plain on doing it every 5th oil change it definitely easy and transmission fluid is cheaper then transmission itself
Do you know if the 3ZZ-FE engine’s 5-speed manual transmission shares its fluid with the front differential as well? Or does it have a separate fluid for the manual transmission and front differential?
Wait so how did you fill the differential? Don't you have to fill it separately with a pump going into the fill plug? Or does excess fluid from the transmission drain into the differential?
On this engine the transmission fluid is circulated through the differential as well as the main part of the transmission. As soon as you start the engine the differential will fill. Note that that only applies to the transmission on the 6 cylinder model. On the 4 cylinder model the differential has to be filled separately.
is that the A541E trans? same as my99 v6 solara? i I put 3.5 in drain and fill. dead center (hot) on stick...does the solara have the addtional drsin also?🤔🤯
Seems I read somewhere the transmission and the differential use the same fluid but you cannot refil the differential through the dipstick. They are separate refil areas
I've noticed that some vehicles with the 1MZ-FE with their transmission will state DEXRON 3 in the owner/repair manual, while some will state Toyota ATF Type IV. My 99 Lexus ES300 has the U140E transmission, which says Toyota ATF Type IV. The Camry around the same year has an A541E transmission, which I guess says Dexron 3. Some ES300s will have an A541E transmission. I've also heard that Toyota ATF Type IV is basically Dexron 3 with a slight change to it. Some forums have some discussions on ATF like this: "T-III is Toyota's equivalent spec for DexronIII. Don't let anyone tell you its different. T-IV added HFM smooth shifts, timing and slip control, and longer life additive package to the Dexron III spec. I've seen a bunch of dealers blindly use T-IV in place of DexronIII with no apparent ill effects. If anything, the transmission shifts better" ^ Taken from a Bob the Oil guy post ^ . True or not, I don't know.
People on that site like to preach and hear themselves talk. Some good advice but take all of them with a grain of salt. Grown men on an oil site arguing and bullies act as the hall monitors. Use what the dipstick says to use.
That is the best looking Camry design of all time. The lines of that generation are stunning.
I actually think the 3rd generation looks the best.
Love em
I love my 92. Still looks good and drives so smooth.

Underside of that 20 year old Camry looks brand new.
Those of us in the Salt Belt have to diligently rustproof to keep corrosion away but they have no such worries in California.
@@rightlanehog3151 Yes but those Toyotas have good corrosion resistance right off the assembly line compared to Mazda and others.
@@rkgsd I concur.
Mine in Idaho with salt on the road...at 24 years old...has basically zero rust!

P. S. Toyota’s Rule!
I had that same engine in my 2000 Avalon 1MZ-FE and it ran great. Common issues knock sensors and ABS light.
All Toyota V6 engines have the knock sensor problem and location of it makes it worse
Same. Drove my 01 camry 1mz today
Hear it likes to turn on ABS light for other reasons too. Failing alternator or other electrical. And also dirty wheel sensor. mud, road grit, grease or combo of any.
Always fill differential cold. That fluid expands with heat.
If you open the plug hot you may get a outpouring of fluid despite being low.

Wish you included the mileage in the description as well. Would you ever purchase a cheap Toyota from Craigslist and make it workable again?
@@nicewknd Not all! But some engines more than others. That's why Toyota recommends 6mo/5k mi intervals on the older ones now which is an update from when they came out and it was double that interval
great tip on the differential scenario! I have this v6
You are the best . Now I know I don't have to worry about that differential.
If the transmission and transfer case have common cavity, why does the fluid of the transfer case look so clean compared to that of the transmission?
I think he drained and the camera didn't get it so he filled some and did it again for us
20 year old car with No rust!! 👍
Have a 92 Camry with the 2.2 just as clean. What a great car. High quality and simple to work on. 184k and smooth running car.
Excellent work sir. I have a question regarding 2005 camry 4 cylinder 2.0 G . Does these model also need differential oil in their gear box ? Thanks
Thanks for quoting me on the fluid :) had a good laugh. Love your videos, keep it up they're extremely useful and helpful.
I have a 4 cylinder version. I believe the differential and tranny are not connected. In my case I will have to fill the differential with a pump. Great video though!

Hi how long should I change automatic transmission fluid on my car ?
When should you or how often should you change the transmission fluid?
Depends but on trans Toyo no tow, 50-60k mi
You didn't do a transmission filter change. How often should that be done?

You make fantastic videos. Please talk more about torq specs when tightening.
I never changed mine and it has 95k miles in my Corolla, should I change it?? 😅
I believe you have to go through the gears before measuring the volume via the dipstick.
I believe he did a lot we didn't see for this video. See how that dexron in the diff was pure and clean? Never saw so little come out before. For sure he forgot and just started it up and somehow filled it.
what about the torque converter, do i need to account for the fluid there?
I had a 2005 camry xle never replaced timing belt or waterpump 138000 but did front coils and struts and many of sensors
Is that 39 Nm torque on ATF drain plug for dry or lubricated condition? Obviously the threads are wet after the drain.

Why?
Would this be the same for a 1997 Lexus ES 300? Or did they change the design quite a bit after that year?
Can we use Dexron VI or do we have to use just Dexron III?

so you mention that v4 is not connected as v6 is, how do I find the refilling location for it if v4 is not connected?
How much fluid would it take if I also do the filter?

Could you do a video doing valve cover gasket as well and intake?
About to do that job. Will be recording.
Seems I read somewhere the transmission and the differential use the same fluid but you cannot refil the differential through the dipstick. They are separate refil areas
That applies only to the 4 cylinder model. On a V-6 the same fluid is circulated between the main part of the transmission and the differential.
Thank you the video was extremely helpful.
Good job. Very simple and nice. Thanks!
how much fluid is left in the torque converter after draining auto filter sump?
depends on total capacity. something like 3.7. drain/fill once or twice more for close to as red as it can get
Great video! Thanks!
Thank you so much. My 2001 sienna share atf transmission and differential
Thank you very much Sir for your valued video. Really do appreciate it 🌹
Does the 3rd gen 95 camry v6 have the same one as this or it has its own fill hole?
