2009 Toyota Corolla Transmission Filter Change 

perfect, its all about saving money, thanks for watching.

So....

AR A lot of oil stays within the transmission. Only put back exactly what you took out or you will overfill. Check the dipstick after you finished.

AR I am not a mechanic so I would not rely on my answers. I have watched several videos that discourage flushes as doing more harm than good.

What inch pounds did u use to tighten

48 inch pounds pan, 84 inch pounds filter.

Or divide by 12.

Yeah that look like oil there..

great info. thanks for watching!

Ya it's wierd when there is a tranny fluid fill cap on these older models lol. WIth a "full" line and everything.

perfect, thanks for watching.

topping it off and running it and re checking sounds like a must. ha. thanks for watching. and the great comment

for manufacturers, "life time" fluid simply means the lifetime of the transmission, once the transmission blows up or breaks, thats it.

It sucks the oil and absorbs all.

If it's popping out and you have a manuel. It's not the transmission. It's a plastic in the stick. That gets worn out and it's preventing it from staying in gear. You need to get to it from the interior side.

Use genuine toyota fluid its called world standard atf

ATF lasts a hell of a lot longer than the engine oil does. If you were to replace only 50% of your engine oil every 2k miles (assuming full synthetic will a life of 5k) it would indeed be 99% as effective as changing it 100% every 5k. Transmission fluid has a safe lifespan of usually 80k miles. Just make sure you do a change every 20k and you will have changed aprox. 95% of the old fluid before the end of it's safe life span, without the need of performing a potentially disastrous flush which requires a pressurized machine pumping mystery fluid (they dont flush the flusher, it will contain remnants of every ATF they have used even if they do use the correct fluid for your car) into a system that is extremely sensitive and reliant on pressure.

That's a great sales line from a stealership. Drain and fill is perfectly reasonable. The Corolla holds about 6.9q including the torque converter; that means your doing just under 50% replacement each time. Do that twice about 500mi apart and you've purged about 80-85% of that original fluid, and no "flush" machine touches it. If you *really* want fluid replacement, do it via the coolant output lines; drain it via the pan first, then route the trans coolant output line to a graduated container. Run the car only long enough to fill the container, then replace what comes out; repeat u til the fluid is uniformly "cherry." For me, the spill-and-fill has worked fine. Filter replacement isn't *that* critical because the media is really a coarse metal mesh, so it is unlikely to clog or truly *need* replacement. No harm if you do, though. But no "flushes."

@@DIYDaveOK I totally agree with your coolant line assessment. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. The best way to change tranny fluid is by coolant output line. The downside is you will likely use 3-4 gallons of fluid which is a lot of money. I also agree that tranny fluid doesn't have to be changed for 80K miles. I wouldn't go to any shops and do their tranny flush machine. It's a gimmick. BTW, you know they'll be using some cheap generic fluid. If you want something done right, do it yourself (if you can).

It was your first transmission fluid change at 180 km ? My corolla is 190 km and i am afraid to do that

Lucas Soares....yes it was the first time doing drain and fill on the atf. No issues.

Thanks for watching!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

The fluid pressure has changed because the dirty fluid should have been changed sooner. Use Lucas Transmission fix fluid

Never4getMusic did you ever know what was the problem? i have the same problem

Ik this response is super late but it could be that your transmission fluid was really dirty. Your transmission could be slipping or something like that

I'm with you on the same car with the same mileage. Having some shifting slippage on the first gear. I have an automatic. Thinking of doing this and also flush it as well. Looks like the ATF should be changed every 60k miles. Didn't know that and now it will be in my maintenance.

I would replace the 2 output shaft seals and toss in 2 new cardone cv axles while at it. 1st drain the pan and then do the seals and axles, then top it off with 3qt and test ws fluid levels. The axles will sometimes inhale some of the leaking transmission fluid from the bad output shaft seal right through its cup seal and into the cup which will liquify the cups grease. I would do a drain fill with 3qt of toyota ws fluid in another 2000 miles, then I would let it ride for 25k before another is needed. This way not so much of the old grit is removed and the plates will grab fine without slip or downshift clunk from being too clean..

yes, most try to sell you on a flush. do not do a flush on that car. he is a good man. never flush a transmission with 100k only change the fluid and filter. when you flush you remove some of the clutch material between the clutches and cause slipping. again he did the right thing. great question. thanks for watching.

Thank you so much I really appreciate you put me at ease and such a relief to hear 🙂have a great day !

Filter drain plug is 31ft lbs, pan bolts are 5 ft lbs....and unlike the video secure them in a cross hatch pattern a la lug nuts to prevent warping the pan

@@lucaswawryka9635 13 ft-lbs for drain plug?

@@lucaswawryka9635 36 ft lbs drain plug and 10-15 ft lbs oil pan bolts(19)

u341e, 09 corolla . Long, thin tip funnel right to the dipstick tube. The ones I use are from wallymart

Yes. The vibe was made by toyota and re-branded for Pontiac. They have the same engines.

i never skip it, the cost is not that much, and your there. people who do not drop the pan, and flush it are crazy to me. once you do them and realize how not so bad they are, the out come of a new filter, and the response is great. not to mention the stuff your keeping away from the shifting solenoids. people who flush only have something in common. they all believe they just got a bum trans when the clutches finally go. ha ever heard any one saying a job worth doing, is worth doing well. if your not gonna filter the fluid, why change it. might as well leave the old fluid in, because the dirty filter is not gonna let the fluid through weather it is clean or dirty, putting to much pressure on clutches and solenoids. save your self the money in 6 months to a year. change it. thanks for watching.

@@thomasbriansavingmoney thank you for the clarification! I I wondered about the same thing 😁😁

To add to the conversation it depends how often you do it. If you are changing tranny fluid rarely like most people, absolutely change it. If you are like me and do a ATF change nearly every time you change the oil every 5k miles or so, I dont bother with the filter each time. Closer to one every 4 changes aka 20k miles. Transmission filters dont work as hard as engine oil filters do. In fact most of the debris not caught by the pans magnet is created in the initial break in period of the transmission. If the filter cant go a solid 20 or 30k miles then the transmission is being damaged and will fail soon.

thanks for watching.

you must change the filter, because if it plugs, the fluid pressure will not be correct and the transmission will not get the proper amount of fluid. thanks for watching!

thanks for watching chee.

absolutely, i would just to have piece of mind. thanks for watching.

Not a cvt

CVTs didnt come on the Corolla until the 2014 model year

thank you for watching.

5 min and 15 sec into the video displays a area that is just for this cleaning. that dirt like a parts washer gets removed and disposed of just like a parts washer. dedicate a area as i have and it is just the same as my parts washer process. all trans pans are done in the same 5 foot by 5 foot area. there is 2x6 around and concrete below the soil. thanks for watching.

Yeah...I know. The Toyota Dealer in my area said it doesn't have a Filter...just a Screen. The Car in this Video is the same...only a 2010 Corolla S. Then the guy behind the counter tried to tell me that if I take the Pan off...it'll cause problems. Great...so how do you clean the Magnets and Screen (if any) of built-up metal debris etc? Wait...I know? They want you to buy a New Tranny or get a Rebuild is the only reason for this. I can't see how taking a Transmission Pan off would cause any problems...unless you're really, really careless or don't put the pan on properly. Go Figure??? This was the Parts Counter telling me this...not a seasoned Mechanic who actually knows the Car inside and out.

It's a good idea for cleaning the Pan...I would imagine that some Kitty Litter would also work pretty well.

as long as the engine is running, the front pump is spinning. thanks for watching.

some Toyota s have a synthetic that is good for a lot more miles, but i have never met a transmission that did not benefit from changing the fluid. some i will not flush, but all i will change. great question. thanks for watching.

safe and wise, but do not do a flush on that one, just change of filter and fluid. thanks for watching.

You should change fluid and firlter asap.

I did a drain and fill, a month later did it again, a month later did drain/fill and changed the filter

he is correct, but keep in mind that the torque converter will hold about 5-9 quarts that you will not be changing. so yes, and no. if you are not flushing the whole thing and you are just draining whats in the pan, your good. great question!! thanks for watching.

I always thought there was.

Perfecto, gracias por mirar!

yes it is, be sure you get WS . thanks for watching.

multi vehicle is enough

not gallons, 3.7 quarts.

gracias por ver a mi amigo!

RSHALO1316 i have the same year car 2014.let me know how u made out.my friend gas a 2008 and i have replaced that one and it is about 3 qts but it does have a dipstick unlike the 2014 sealed..

Why...because he didn't do a complete flush on the transmission...and I don't recommend it either. When you manually drain the pan, you'll only get about 50-60% Percent of the total amount of fluid in the Tranny. So...you're only going to need about half of the capacity to refill it. If you do this once every 1 or 2 Years, you'll be removing and replacing the old fluid and replenishing it with newer fluid over time. Less likely to run into problems that way! If you're wanting to replace the Filter on the cheap, and don't want to buy a new one? Just take out the old filter and wash it thoroughly with Varsol or another similar cleaning solvent, dry it reasonably well...save the rubber ring and buy yourself a new Pan Gasket in advance. Some guys just use ample amounts of Brake Cleaning Spray to wash out the old filter. They'll still work okay!

Sorry for the late respond. I have the 2014 Corolla L which has the transmission fluid dipstick. So looks like just draining the fluid only 3 quarts is required. However, if you take apart the whole transmission fluid pan I think thats when 6.9 quarts of oil will be required. So in conclusion if your planning on only draining and refilling 3 quarts of oil is all you will need. I will recommend you to measure out how much you take out and put back in that much.

Thanks for the information. I bought 7 quarts of toyota AFS oil did the drain and fill only 3 quarts drove it 1000 miles did another drain and fill just because i had left over oils.

i would, in my opinion it will allow the trans to last longer.

At least remove the old one and wash it out with cleaning fluid...make sure you save the rubber gasket ring and get a new gasket for the actual Pan.

Darrin G. Filters are cheap. Cleaning them is not effective and you risk contaminating the clean side of the filter with particles that will damage the valve body.

thanks for watching!

a cup? power steering fluid? i am not sure what your asking, but thanks for watching. if you have a question ask away, i will help if i can, but i am not sure what the question is.

It's electric. There is no power steering pump, lines, or fluid reservoir.

@Truett - that’s why this is a change not a flush.......

Chromatic Aberration Fluid should be changed every 30-40k if you care about the car.

Chromatic Aberration

Yque tal si lo publicaran en español

thanks for watching.

hmmm i would need to read that, clean fluid is always important. they sell filters and fluid for it, so maybe its reading something different. thanks for watching

That's because WS is "lifetime" fluid. In reality, WS has a weak additive package and is not synthetic (prone to oxidation at high temp). WS fluid is toast at 60k. You really should change it at 30k.

Sure...they want your business. It's a selling and marketing ploy. ATF does not last a lifetime, and over time it will accumulate microscopic particles, oxides, and metal shavings! Don't want an expensive "Transmission Job" at their Shop? Change your Tranny Fluid every 1 or 2 years or so!

Sell all your assets, transfer the cash to an offshore account then divorce

nice video but could of done without Quiet Riot and Aerosmith
