2015 TOYOTA COROLLA CVT FLUID CHANGE, & FILTER 

Finally, a tech that does the job correct. So many do a drain and fill, 1.5 qts witch accomplishes nothing. Thank you for being a professional...

Best video so far on how to change the CVT fluid on Toyota Corolla👍🙏

Absolutely ...nobody else seems to think the filter is important.... Very good job !

Aisin now markets their own CVT fluid and sells it by the quart. Rockauto carries it for about $7/quart. Will be doing mine this weekend. Thank you for the very clear and instructive video!

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

Great job my friend , just missing the obd2 , jumper wire diagnostic mode to make sure the D icon is solid 👌, really enjoyed the full detailed work and filter /gasket , and cleaning the magnets in the pan and all the torque specs , 👏

Thanks for making this video! This is one pan gasket you dont want to start leaking, since there is no dipstick!

Much love for this one my friend. I’m helping the wife’s friend because she ran something over and was just doing some research on the cvt service. This was exactly what I was looking for

Hi just want to thank you for your video. It was thorough, step-by-step, well explained really appreciate it! Just the filter at one Toyota dealer charged $175. I ordered it on Amazon with gasket and O-ring exact fit $26! And for reference dealer orders it aftermarket, third-party as well. Not even OEM. Dealers are such a rip offs on every level nowadays.

Muchas gracias… Tu tutorial es el mejor que he visto de mucho. Bendiciones

Thanks ! I have a much better idea of how the service SHOULD be done as I am not able to do it myself . Much appreciated on you taking time to show us !

Once my drain plug is back in it stays in, I never did any of the checks and on the first change at 25K miles I added a extra 8 ounces. 65K now and no issues. Change five times and used Amsoil CVT.

Why the other toyota master technician didn't removed the transmission pan, clean the magnet and change the gasket?.

It is interesting to see the differing levels of attentiveness between various RU-vid mechanics. Most are kinda “here’s an overview of what we do” and a few are “ here’s EXACTLY how to do it the correct way” This video is kinda in between...

Key takeaway here is when checking fluid level, make sure vehicle engine is ON and correct temp

Toyota dealer said they would take all the cvt fluid out and would not change the filter because there are no replaceable filters to be changed. Is taking all the fluid out is a risky approach? Will it cause transmission slip? Please advise. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing this video. I am sure this is a very helpful video for people like me. More power to your channel.

I also have a 2015 Corolla S model. It currently has on it 27,500 miles. The CVT oil has never been replaced. When I replace the CVT oil, should I also put a new filter in, or just drain and fill? Thanks in advance, I appreciate your time and great video!

Thank you very much for the video, the best of which I have seen before, you give all the small and most important details such as the orange leveler, I am a mechanic and the following week I have a Corolla service, so it is very useful for me to do so. correctly, thank you.

Why would you measure the old fluid what happens if somebody put the wrong amount in before do you really think people will do the right thing

Best possible explanation. Short & to the point video. 💯💯💯💯💯

Very good video, the best I've seen for this procedure. Could you possibly tell me for the final fluid check do you have the engine running? Thank you kindly

Great video. It’s a shame cars don’t come with dipsticks for transmissions anymore

How did you check the level again? All I saw was you draining some fluid. How did that tell you the fluid level?

Very important question. I have a 2015 toyota corolla le. It has 250k mikes. The transmission fluid has never been changed. Should i do a drain and fill or just leave it as it is? Thank you.

Thanks a lot! All the information i need to do it myself! Keep posting useful videos!!

Do you know if they changed the part number? Toyota showing my car fits 35330-0W021 instead of the 35330-20020 Are they different do you know?

A great video, sólo quería preguntarte, xq en otros video conectan el el ODB 4 y 13, no es necesario? Y si no medi la cantidad de aceite que saque, con el tubo de rebozo puedo verificar que tiene suficiente aceite, thanks

How often do you need to change the CVT fluid?

Thank so much. This video very clear and helpful. I have been waiting for your next video. Best regard Ismoyo Riamah Indonesia

Hola, disculpa, espero puedas ayudarme con algunas preguntas, podrías decirme cúanto aceite lleva la caja de transmisión? Cada cuando es recomendable cambiar el aceite de la transmisión y su filtro? Los empaques al poner la tapa del carter no llevan silicon? Por que después de poner el aceite nuevo volviste a destapar y tirarle un poco? Saludos

May I know if the gear position should be shifted from R>N>D>L>D>N>R while doing the fluid levelling (draining excess fluid)?

You seem to be one helluva auto mechanic. I only wish I could find one like you, but that is impossible where I live. Question? Assume there is 10 million automatic mechanics in the US; just think HOW many of them would do what you did to this car? Huh? I would say less than 5 percent. Oh indeed. Most would laugh and scoff at all the wonderful efforts you did to make the job professional and right. For 95 percent ONLY care about their paycheck and/or commission and/or the "gestapo" pressure put on them to "GETTER DONE!". Others would disagree; but I hold to this. It is a horrible thing that is being done to automobiles ALL over America today. And worse are the dealer mechanics. Oh indeed. Only a blind fool does not know this to be fact absolute. I am very proud of you and the works you do. But you are VERY rare. GAR-OWN-TEED! May Jesus continue to give you the drive to do the job right.

I got toyota Axio 2007 model..went to work shop for CVT change & fell into trouble..now it slips tranmission & showing error of "solenoid k" ..the other thing i couldn't find, what is the exact quantity of oil recommended..?if you can help plz...

Hi is the drain plug and fill plug crusher washer the same? Also what is the code for them . Thank you!

Do you have a link to, or know where to find the service manual/instructions for this service? Also, do you have a recommendation for a scan tool to check the cvt fluid temp?

Excellent workmanship

Your professional....proud of you man...get the job done ...full stop.

I hace a Corolla 2017 with transmission trouble at 50mph the envíen accelerates and goes to 4500rpm and cannot speed Up. Have read its a Factory trouble bit dealer in Chile insist we need a new transmission and Charges US 12.000 More than car value What about warranty? I have read that Toyota recalled thouthands of cars in USA under warranty to solve it Do yo u have info about this? Thank Gunther Appelt

Was the cvt over filled from the factory? If I put in the same ammount of fluid that I took out will I be fine? Also is the engine running while doing the check?

Great video, thank you. I'm just going to do this on my daughters corolla that just hit 100K. Still in planning phase. I have a question about the gasket you peeled off the sump pan - is it a metal or compressed fiber gasket? It had a metallic sound when you tossed it on the bench :) I'm also planning on using the Aisin ATF-TFE fluid, as Aisin made the transmission, it should work fine??

My pan gasket was leaking. How do I know how much fluid should go in?

may I ask you how much oil you could get out with removing the CVT oil pan + filter (just want to figure out how much fresh oil to buy approx.)

hi brother thank you for this video.. the mechanic that change my transmission fluid make a big mess on my corolla 2014 it has p0741 code pops up and it has a hard kick everytime i put it to reverse.. he told me i had transmission problem but i feel i he make a big mistake doing my transmission fluid because before he changed it, it was running good 😞

Saludos muchachos les quiero hacer una pregunta. Yo tengo un Toyota corolla 2016 cvt. Tiene 138 mil millas. Este carro lo compre de segunda mano. Y no se el recor de su mantenimiento. Será remendable hacerle el cambio de aceite de trasmisión. Gracias de ante mano

What is the procedure to measure the CVT transmission oil level?

When accessing the bolt for the lower control arm next to the pan, can you just drop the transmission pan and get better access to that bolt? - It's the lower control arm bolt right next to the trans pan. I would prefer to just drop the pan rather than jacking up the transmission. Does dropping the pan sound feasible?

Best video explain how to professionally change transmission fluid in corolla cvt , nice job 👏 👍 👌

PROFESSIONAL! THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO! I PLAN TO BUY A 2017 - 2019 COROLLA SE. DO YOU RECOMMEND THIS VEHICLE?

Thanks for the video. Can you make a video how to change transmission fluid for 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback? I can’t find any information about changing transmission fluid for it. Thank you.

May I know how many thousand miles on the Odometer when you changed this cvt fluid?

Hello. I just bought an Aurion ATX 2010, with 220,000 kms on the odometer. It has no record of auto transmission service. Would you recommend transmission flush or a basic oil drain and top up? And is the flush safe enough?

Thanks again for changing my 2017 Toyota Corolla SE CVT fluid!

two drain plugs...wow...glad I saw your video...thx

Great video.. question, checking the fluid level will it be through the fill port if it drains out? Or must u remove the drain plug itself? If so it wasn’t clear.. must the fluid flow like that after fill in order to know if it’s correct ?

I saw the fluid in the container that you initially drained, but there was a lot of other fluid that came out after that -- was that also dumped into the same container, because it didn't look like it? If not the fluid fill would be short.

This mechanic is really good. He can measure 15-inch pounds of torque with just his fingers on that plastic insert. He's not afraid of stripping the plastic threads?

Hi i recently got a 2014 Toyota Corolla S with about 80,000 miles and i dont know ifs its been changed, do you recommend it to be changed or not? Thanks

I have 170,000mi on my 2015 corolla. I brought it to the dealership at 107k miles to have the CVT fluid replaced and they refused, saying it could do more harm than good. Now, I'm thinking of replacing the fluid on my own, but only doing 1/3 of the fluid at a time over say 3 months just to ease the CVT into its new fluid. I think doing it this way could help eliminate any issues. What do you think?

Excelente video, bien explicado y bien hecho, solo tengo una duda, para que sirven los imanes que limpiastes y que estaban en el carter y si por error alguien los quita y no los vuelve a poner que pasaria? gracias por responder y espero sigas haciendo buenos videos, espero tu repuesta, saludos

How do I get all parts involved? Do I search like "Transmission fluid change kit for Toy Corol 2015?" "Trasmission fluid for TC 2015?"

Wont be needing to change the filter and opening the pan if you just drain and fill every 30k miles. Trust me, I opened the pan even though i drain and fill every 30k miles lol It was clean af

To get the majority of the fluid to be new, it would be best to do this process 3-4 times consecutively in order to flush out. Correct me if I'm wrong otherwise you would be left with 2 thirds of the old fluid still in the trans.

Great job bro I have a 2022 toyota corolla le I hope the next tech that does the cvt fluid change at 35,000 to 40,000 miles does the same job 😊

Hola disculpa la consulta pero le cambie el aceite de la caja cvt al corolla, lo que me extraño es que no le cambie el filtro, pero si le quite el carter, pero salieron más de 5 litros de aceite y yo le agregue la lata de 4 litros y un poco más, te quería consultar es cierto que cuando esta encendido el carro y ya no sale más aceite, ya con el tubito puesto es que esta tiene suficiente aceite y ya se le puede poner el perno de seguridad de salida del aceite, gracias de antemano por tu repuesta

So how many miles did the car have since last change? Or was that the first time? After how many miles? If the car had a little leak as you mentioned, then how do you know the fluid removed is the amount you need to put in?

My 2018 Toyota Corolla has 35k miles on it right now. I intend to change the fluid at 60K. Would this be advisable? Or must it be done sooner? Thanks.

Hi. You have to check the fluid level while the car is idle or you can do it with car turn off but with right temperature 35-40C.

In the video it says to replace fluid with same amount that was removed. After it was filled( with the same amount removed?)with fluid you removed metal drain plug right away and fluid coming out was overfill? Confused.. is it safe to just put how much to pump in? then if you removed drain plug after, it wouldnt be so much overfill, right? is it neccerty to remove drain plug if you just pumped in what manufacture says? I am getting ready to do my own. so thats why i am asking detail thanks..,.

Why didn't he tighten the pan bolts using a star method, as you use on the lug nuts of wheels, to ensure that the gasket gets proper sealing to the pan?

How often for the Vios (2018) Toyota Thailand advised me they don't change unless a problem????!!! Am at 105000 km and am making a plan and get this done as per your video. Thanks for video.

What’s the torque spec for the drain pan bolts and torque spec for the filter?

Good video but u forgot to change the second filter (in a valve body)

Hi, do you have to wait until the car is totally cold before changing the CVT oil, and changing the oil cause any of the warning lights on the dashboard to light up? Tks

Please guide which gear oil we will use in Toyota Vitz Japan Automatic 2015. Thanks.

Does the 2012 Toyota Camry XLE have a CVT Transmission? I am asking because I want to add LUCAS fluid to the transmission because of a shutter I am experiencing at about 45mph. Car has 165k miles. Please advise. Thank you so much. Be well. JC

A question i have a 2013 corolla hatch just had it serviced 2 weeks ago before getting it serviced it was shuddering on 1st and 2nd hot and i noticed its shudders on 3rd when cold after hot it dosent shudder but 1st and 2nd shudders after 3 or 4 days shudders stop for about 5 days but now it shuddering again whats making it shudder?

What’s the music in the background??

Too much torque on the pan could easily crosstread the block and leak, check torque specs before DYU, does in need permatex?

Great video.. I wanna change the CVT fluid and filter for my Corolla 2014 and Pathfinder 2016, but the dealerships (Toyota & Nissan) refuse (or don't know how) to change the transmission filter lol. Where is your shop? Do you accept customers?

A 2019 SB from Toyota states to lightly clean with NEW CVT fluid contaminants from inside the pan. Never use brake cleaner. It’s not necessary to clean metal contamination from magnets.

How do you know you have achieved the correct fluid level? How do you go about knowing that after you let the engine warm up and run through the gears at 3 second intervals, do you release the drain plug while the car is still idling? And also how do you know when you have achieved correct fluid level and how do you know if you need to add more fluid if needed?

Is the 2015 model process the same as the 2020 model? Very curious to know since my wife and I just got one recently.

Thanks for the excellent video. When should the 2015 Corolla LE need to have CVT fluid change? 60K or 80K? Thanks in advance.

Kindly tell about corolla axio 2007 model to change cvt transmission fluid, details change the fluid when the car is in cool condition. Plz thats model is so much problem of changing cvt oil. Point to point details how to change.

Hi did you lube the pan gasket with anything like a oil gasket maker or just bolt it on dry?

I have one with 80k miles but previous owner did not do any transmission service. Should I do it even though it’s at 80k ? Thanks

Awesome video! Can I hire you to perform this task on my corolla? If so, where are you located? Your level of expertise and precision is commendable.

how can you tell at the end if the proper level of fluid is achieved??

DNY automotive, what is the torque spec for the 3-10mm filter bolts?

i drained 3.5 litres from camry 2014. put 4 litres of new fluid back in. i didnt check level when warmed cause the shuddering i was experience had stopped and everything feels new again

How did you know the right level?

Hlo sir my car toyota Corolla 2017 I am replace my Excel front and not working my gear what is this problem this car

Hi, I’m shopping for a new car right now. I am deciding between a Honda Civic, or a Toyota Corolla. I was curious how reliable the CVT Transmission is. I ask because I know a friend of mine had a Nissan, and the transmission inside the Nissan broke at 80k miles. My old 2003 Toyota Corolla had a normal transmission in it and it got to 320k miles before I donated it. Can I expect the same lifespan from a new Corolla or Civic ? Thanks .

Ah there's a fixed tube on inside of pan! Now i know why only 1.7qts drains lol. CVT belt system does create a bit sludge on pan bottom/magnets. Filter probably gets sludged up too. The drain plug method is a decoy to make you think you are taking care of your car!😂

i Have a 2010 toyota corolla which has CVT transmission i want to change the fluid do i need to calibrate the transmission after the fluid change is necessary can you help me out on this plz

Would of liked to know how many miles it was being changed at

hold up, if i removed lets say 20 OZ of fluid just as an example & i then put the same amount of fluid back in, how could the transmission be over filled unless it was overfilled to start with.

So far you are the best because you removed the pan and changed the filter. Unfortunately I still don't know where is missing 3.7 quarts of the fluid. I did everything the same in my Toyota so I put about 3.5 quarts of new fluid. Toyota's website and dealers said there is 7.6 quarts of the fluid. What is wrong?

What's the torque spec on the oil pan bolts?
