Great video. Just followed this procedure on my 2018 camry se. Did this at 40,000 miles. I know the normal interval is 60k but my car was shifting poorly from time to time. The fluid came out rather dirty and so far the shifting has improved.
So, would 104° be the optimal temperature for getting the level exact, seeing that 104 is the exact midpoint of 95 & 113? Also, would several drain and fills replenish the fluid completely, or is that not recommended? Great instructional video though! @bennieaust
@@donniev8181 there is a range that’s acceptable, not an exact pin point. I would start the process at 95, that way, even though the temp will continue to rise, you will still be in the range when you have it set. If you try to do it at 104, the temp will definitely be higher when you complete it.
I bought Camry Se 2018 at 41k miles in December, 2019. 4 years later, it now has 160k miles and I have not replaced anything except Oil every 10k miles, brake pads good quality and One set of tires + Winter tires. I drive to Montréal 3x a Month from Boston.
They are great cars! Make sure you don’t neglect the transmission service and air filter changes. The owners manual has recommendations for service that should be followed to make sure it continues to work flawlessly for you.
@@Toddscamry-lk5wr i was about to say the same thing. Even though they say 10k miles i don’t feel comfortable waiting that long. 5k miles I feel is a perfect time to change it while I also feel very comfortable that I am extending the life of my car by keeping up with oil changes and basic maintenance.
They really are easy. Having a lift to keep it level definitely helps, but overall it's very simple. At first I missed the dipsticks when they went away, but it's actually way quicker and more certain to just drain off the excess fluid. I can't tell you how many times I've had a hard time reading the drip stick and it's very time consuming when you are filling through the dipstick tube and then trying to get a read anytime soon out of that same dipstick tube. :(
It’s so funny I just came across your vid. I’ve had my transmission replaced around 75k miles as well. It’s a 2018 I’ve had it for 6 years now. And recently my alternator pulley and belt as been destroyed. Sadly I gotta be DIY.
@@bennieaust yes it’s way easier. I’m thinking of getting a used alternator with only 70k miles on it. It’s only for $80, which compares to a new one which is $200. U think I should get the new one or the used one should get the job done.
Surprisingly I believe Toyota went SAE with a lot of bolts instead of metric now. That 24mm is actually a 15/16" which is slightly smaller. Lug nuts are also SAE I've noticed so far. Thanks for the video! Very informative!
@@joeybassett9685 I'm not real sure where Ford's are made these days? Lot of domestic brands are made in Mexico now I believe but I'm clueless about Ford's. Surprisingly, a ton of Toyota's stuff is made in the U.S
A great and detailed video, thank you so much! Only thing is i didn't hear what torque to use for the drain plug? Also, my camry is 2022SE, currently on 40000km (25k miles) and i just started experiencing a little delay and jiggle when accelerating. It even got a little clumsy once when accelerating in a traffic light, but other than that it's fine. It's strange to experience that only on 25k miles so I'm thinking about changing the fluid. Do you know any other possible issues that can be causing these problems in such early state?
Thanks! All the torque specs are in the description. I’m not sure what else could be causing those issues. Starting out with a transmission service is probably the best think to try first.
Great video, thanks . I cut up a 2x8 wood plank into 4 pcs to use as ramps for all four wheels to keep the car level and allow some room to get under the car. It would be impossilbe to check the fluid level with traditional ramps under the front wheels right? Since the car would not be level. Since many of us use the low cost infrared thermometers, what temperature does the outside of the transmission read when your Zurich ZR15 reads 100 degrees F? That would be a video people would be interested in as many cars have this requirement.
Thanks Gene, The 4 ramps is definitely a good way to go to keep it level and get the correct reading. That is a great question I can’t answer off the top of my head but next time I service one of these I will measure temperature both ways and compare. I think I will start doing that on all the transmission service videos because that would be really useful info. Thanks, Bennie
I tested that. I discovered that during a morning cold engine start, when the scan tool shows the transmission fluid has warmed to 95 degrees F, the car's coolant temp gauge will be 1/4 the way up the dial and the infrared thermometer reading on the bottom of the transmission case near the drain plug will be only 86 degrees. So about a 9 degree difference. So I recommend owners who don't have a scan tool to check the fluid level after a morning cold engine start when the coolant temp gauge reaches 1/4 the way up the dial and the infrared thermometer reading on the bottom of the transmission case near the drain plug is around 85- 88 degrees F
I'm 5 years into my 2020 Camry 2.5. I'm 71 now and do all my engine oil changes. On this transmission change I would have to get the car up high enough AND make sure the car is level. If I pay a shop to do it...they may have someone who doesn't do it correctly. How would I know that...unless they let me watch from 10 ft. away...which they would not allow me to do? The local dealership can't be trusted either!
Why transmission out before 80k? That is a real low number for Camry, even if neglected. I did my fluid drain and replace at 48k, and it was not a happy, looked bad. Worked well, but now again likes being warmed up to shift perfectly, so I am looking into doing another drain and fill at 65k miles. The transmission in this generation seems to me as being frail.
Just came across this video, I’m not sure if this was Covered but would you know why my local Toyota dealership says the 8th gen Camrys have lifetime transmission fluid and not to change it? Thanks!
There are a LOT of vehicles that claim that these days. If you read the fine print they always say unless you live in a harsh climate, which most of us do. Harsh climate or not, I don’t believe that’s a smart call to never change fluid. It’s cheap insurance.
500,000 miles of life is the reward a 2018-2023 Camry 8 speed owner gets for draining and refilling the transmission every 15,000 miles: imagizer.imageshack.com/img922/2046/A7BHjO.jpg
Yes many transmissions toyota has had in the past is lifetime. But the fine print not only discusses if you live in a harsh environment, or are in stop and go traffic, or i really want to say if driven at highway speeds. It basically covers Toyota’s a**. Should find all the caveats in the manual.
I have a question I have tsame car 2018 but the other day show me on the dash the check engine light on I check the codes and give Me 2 codes one shift control solenoid and pressure control solenoid so I change the transmission fluid was black but this car don’t have trans oil pan underneath so I don’t know how to replace this solenoid if you can advice me I will appreciate thank you I’m not sure if the transmission torch pan is the one front of the trans torch to the engine
I haven’t had to change solenoids on one of these transmissions, but they are generally located under the front cover. Because I haven’t had to do that job on this car I can’t really offer any more detailed advice than that. Sorry.
Awesome video! I’m about to change the Trans fluid on my 2019 Camry. One thing you did not cover was the torque spec on the hex bolt. What did you have yours set at?
Do you know if this is the same process for an AWD? I just removed my “skid plate” and noticed a few more drain and fill plugs. 2020 4cyl AWD SE. I’m assuming one is a transfer case, just not sure if the overall capacity of the transmission is different. Also, thanks for the video! Very well put together!
Thanks!!! I haven’t done this service on an AWD model. I’m sure it’s very similar, but the quantity of fluid needed could be slightly different. There will be a drain and fill port for the “transfer case” as well so I’m not surprised you are finding more of them under there.
There is a filter under the front cover. My personal experience has been that the filters will not need to be changed if you do regular maintenance (fluid changes) on the transmission. The transmission will not generate large enough particles to be caught in the transmission. The small particles generated by the transmission will be suspended in the fluid and therefore removed with a fluid change.
I have flushed a 2006 Yaris transmission by removing the transmission cooler lines and letting the transmission pump all of the old fluid out. I would pump a quart or two then add the same amount back and I think it took 11 quarts to get bright red fluid. Why wouldn't you do the same on this transmission? I also changed a filter on the Yaris. Does the Camry have a filter?
This Camry does have a filter under the front cover. I would do the same flush process on this that you did on your Yaris. I have done that same process on way to many cars to count. It works great and is a great option. It is not however the method Toyota recommends. This video covers the Toyota procedure.
Hello Bennie, Thank you for the great video. I have a 2020 Toyota camry Le and I bought the Zurich ZR15S to check the transmission temp. When I go to service check it does not show the transmission temp. It only shows engine and brake pad.Can you help with that?
Thanks! Make sure you use the down arrow to scroll down. If it still doesn’t show up I’m not sure why and you should probably contact Zurich tech support. Sorry to hear you’re having trouble. :(
One quick question for you. Do I need to let the engine run when the ATF reaches 95F? If so, will the temp reach over 113F while I am draining the excess? Thank you.
How many times did you go though the gears while it was warming up? I watched a few other videos and yours was by far the best. Really nice having the torque specs. Thank You
can you help me, I just bought that same zurich 15s scanner. I went to menu and I'm at the service check page, but I only get Brake Pad Check and Engine Oil Level it doesn't show transmission temp
I’ve heard this from a couple people. It sounds like the newest software version is having this issues. I haven’t personally experienced this problem. I would recommend contacting tech support to see if there is a fix.
What about changing the transmission oil filter? Do you leave the old oil in the torque converter? Just asking as I would rather do a complete transmission flush!
IMHO you shouldn’t need to do a complete transmission fluid change or filter change if you follow Toyota’s recommended fluid change intervals on this. If you do want to change the filter, it’s located under the black pan on the front of the transmission. I’ll link a different video below showing how to do a transmission flush. It’s not pertaining to this Toyota Camry, but it will give you an idea of how it can sometimes be done. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Vvdw5rk7N9A.htmlsi=jM2Wvc2CgiKpY_Ij
Hi Bennie. Excellent video! My only question is what is the torque spec on the metal drain plug? Your video skips right before you say it. Thanks in advance!
Quick question, is the factory ws fluid full synthetic? If not, would it be a gpod idea to do this procedure 4 times to try to get all of the old fluid out and replace with the new full synthetic?
The WS fluid is synthetic. Doing this procedure a couple times in a row is a good idea if it’s been neglected, but it’s not necessary simply due to fluid compatibility.
@bennieaust I tried searching online and couldn't find anything on it. I figured it cant hurt anything to do it twice lol. I'm at 60k and the fluid coming out was a darker red than the stuff going in, not horrible so I'm good. I ran it through all the gears and then drained it a second time. Figured it can't hurt it.
I did this procedure but is it normal for the fluid to drip out when im pumping it in? It’s almost like everytime I pump it in, it just flows right back out. Am i doing it wrong?
It can be difficult to do it without spilling. Make sure you have the hose in the hole as far as possible (you won't be able to get in very far in) and try pumping it slower.
I did my transmission fluid last week on 2019 Toyota Camry, I guess I warmed it up a little too much. I added 4 Cortes and when I drained the access fluid I noticed that I was a lot, maybe more than a Corte, anyway I been driving it for the past 3 days i noticed slight jerk around 60. Do u think I under filled it, if so should repeat the process since oil was really dirty or just top it off??
You have to warm it and get it drained while it's within the exact specified temp range using a computer that can monitor the temp. Without that these trans are super picky and you can kiss it goodbye real fast
If it's a car that's never been serviced, regardless of mileage, wouldn't you be able to just drain and fill with the same amount? I figure since it came from the factory, it should have been filled to the proper level to begin with?
Theoretically yes, do you want to risk your transmission though? There must be a good reason that Toyota says to do it this way. This video covers the recommended way to do it. It’s not hard, and I wouldn’t want to give the wrong instructions to someone.
Nice video. Do you drain the fluid when it's cold/haven't drove yet or hot after it's been driven? Is there another scan tool that measures the transmission fluid temp that doesn't cost a fortune like the one you used in the video?
Thanks! It is best to drain the fluid after a short drive, before it get's very hot. There are a lot of scan tool options out there for all budgets. I use this one because IMHO it doesn't cost a fortune (not the $5K-$10K like professional scan tools) but offers a lot of functionality. There are even cheaper options out there and there are a lot of RU-vid videos on here that can probably give you some great guidance.
@@bennieaust Thanks for the information. Do you have any recommendations for other scan tools that can read transmission oil temperature that are under $250?
@@deerphoria4314I don’t have any personal recommendations at this point. I’m currently testing a $100 Bluetooth to phone scanner that reads trans temp, so I know there are options, but I haven’t formed an opinion on it yet so stay tuned.
@@bennieauston the Innova and Zurich scan tool that you have in the description of the video, are the updates free forever or is it only free for a few years and then you have to pay a subscription fee?

I took my 2020 Camry to the dealership at 52,000 miles and asked for a transmission drain and fill. They told me they only do full transmission flushes so I gave in and let them do it. Ever since then the transmission has noticeably harsher shifts in the lower gears and especially when the engine has only run for a short time. Any suggestions?
The biggest concern I have is that they filled it to the correct level. I have heard many stories of even dealers not filling them correctly. Beyond that there’s nothing else I can think of.
@@bennieaust ok, thanks. I’ll live with it for a little bit but I’ll ask them to look at it when it goes in for the airbag recall. I love the car and plan to keep it for many years.
If you change the fluid as recommended, you shouldn’t ever have to change the filter. The filter is intended as a safety precaution for any partials left my the manufacturing process. The byproducts of transmission use itself (clutch material) are very fine and are what make the fluid dirty over time. They don’t get trapped in the filter and they get removed when you change the fluid. If you did have a filter that was full of material, you’d have much bigger problems to worry about.
I'm sure if you do a RU-vid search you can find some alternative methods. I don't like to make any recommendations other than what Toyota says. I know some people have used inferred temp guns.
I’ve heard from a couple people that there is a glitch in the newest update on these. I haven’t had that issue so I can’t say for sure but it might be worth contacting tech support on.
Hi Bernie, you make things like this service look so easy. You trust this Valvoline transmission fluid, is it much less costly than Toyota WS transmission fluid ? I know Toyota does not make their own fluid but I do not know what oil company does.
Hey Brett, I absolutely trust the valvoline fluid. The are a big, reputable company and it says right on the bottle it meets or exceeds the WS standard. It’s what I run in my 2007 Lexus LS460 with 284k miles. I think Walmart is the cheapest place to purchase it. I like it because it meets or exceeds a lot of different standards so I don’t have to stock 15 different transmission fluids.
Can the transmission fluid be drain properly with just the front lifted? And is the only time the car need to be leveled is when warming up the fluid to 95 F and draining the excessive fluid?
I use the scan toolsl you listed (innova 5610). However, the transmission fuild temp doesn't show up. I also used different scan tool that can read transmission fluid but no luck also. Do you know why I'm not able to read the transmission fluid temperature. My vehicle is 2018 camey Se.
So what about the eCVT ? Which came with the Hybrid 2.5 Camry 2018+ ? It said no maintenance require (the car located in Canada which outside temp varies between -40 to 95) I have no premature issue and it has over 190k miles
I’m not familiar with that transmission, this video is about the 8 speed auto in the 2.5 non-hybrid Camry. Most of the manufacturers recommending not servicing have exceptions to that for harsh climates. I’m a believer in changing all fluids at some point. There is no way the life of the component will not be longer with servicing. Personally I usually buy vehicles around 190k miles. My truck has 340k miles. I’m in it for the long haul and changing fluids on a regular basis is a good starting point IMHO.
Thank you so much for this video. Does this applies to a 2021 Rav4? Does the jumper cable method (Toyota maintenance mode)on the OBD2 works on these years? Than you in advance.
@@jonathanrivera283 that’s even better if you replace it earlier. If you keep up a schedule like that, in my opinion, you will not have to replace the filter. The particles you are wanting to remove are suspended in the old fluid.

@@jonathanrivera283 that’s a great question. I honestly don’t know for sure but would be surprised if you could. I would feel the same way though, 195 wouldn’t concern me but 217 is definitely getting up there.
I wonder stead of removing fill bolt, and need to remove tire . if you can push up the fluid through inside of plastic straw using thin tube using pump. I use this method to fill my Forester's front differential, though over fill check opening. that way, I can just using ramp with tire attached.
I'm sure you could. You don't have to remove the wheel to get good enough access to the fill hole, but it does make it easier. I never found it difficult enough to try and use a different method.
I used this fluid level check procedure to my Lexus ES transmission but the fluid level ended up being low. The vehicle sometimes has trouble engaging 2nd gear on an inclined surface, until I put another 1/5 quart of fluid in. Do u know what might be the reason😢

My car is 2018 Toyota Camry SE and milesage 170k and I always changed the transmission fluid every 30k each other . 7qtr to 10qtr ? Or full by leak ? So I’m deaf and I’m miracle . Nice video than ever :)
Thanks Miracle! I would recommend filling it like I do in the video, and draining the excess fluid with it at the proper temp. That the only correct way to do it. Anything else is just a guess.
You have to have a scanner to read the trans temp. There are cheaper scanners that will read it, some people have used inferred temp gauges. I don't really have any recommendations on that, The objective of this video was to show the Toyota procedure (the way I do it), someone else may have a video with a different way of trying to get close to the correct temperature, but this is the way I would recommend.
My 2018 Camry has 128000 miles I just bought it and I don’t want to flush I just want to change the oil what oil does Toyota put in the transmission because I want to match that oil so I don’t mix oils
Toyota calls out for type “WS” fluid. You can go and buy the Toyota fluid at the dealer. I don’t know who the actual manufacturer of the fluid is. I used Valvoline Maxlife fluid in this video which meets the “WS” standard. It’s very good fluid.
Where is the filter located i would like to change it out once i hit 100k. My other cars have the pan at the bottom so ive done those but, my 21 camry does not. I have changed the fluid the way you have show twice so far but want to do the filter for the next change. Thanks in advance
The filter is located under the front black cover. Personally, I wouldn't change it. If you continue to change the fluid like you have you will never need to worry about the filter. I bet your fluid has never looked very dirty, right?
Just a little dirty nothing crazy. Dark red, never purpleish or brown. And ive refilled with the valvoline max life both times with no issues whatsoever.
@@LouisValentin-x8yit’s not like it would hurt anything to change the filter, but with the regular fluid changes I think you’ll be in good shape leaving the filter alone.
Im looking at getting a 113k miles 2018 camry. Service records, oil changes/filter looks good. But no transmission services that Im seeing. Is it a bad idea to get this vehicle?
Hey Hannah, Generally Toyotas are about the safest bet out there. It seems this generation has had transmission issues so they aren’t as great as usual. I still think they are a great choice but it’s good to be aware of the possibility of transmission issues. Service is key to avoiding issues. If you have an alternative that has transmission service history that would be a better option, otherwise if this one drives and shifts good I wouldn’t steer you away from it. Just get the transmission serviced after you purchase it.
If you can verify it's currently filled to the correct level, then it would work great. There are comments in here from people who have found out even the dealer didn't fill it to the correct level. You can decide for yourself how you'd like to do it, but I wanted this video to cover the correct and certain way to get it right. Thanks for watching!
The manual says not to touch it I had old camry over 15 years 300k orig fluid same with my buddy ford van and lexus es 300k all orig fluid. Whats your take on this I always hear about people going 20 years plus orig
Most manuals state that no service is required unless it’s a severe climate. There are very few parts of the country that don’t get cold or hot enough to be considered severe. Regardless of what the manual states, I am a firm believer in servicing all transmissions on a regular basis. It seems crazy to me not to. It’s not apples to apples but can you imagine a manufacturer saying you don’t ever need to change your engine oil? I can tell you how long a transmission will last, but I can tell you it will last longer if you keep clean fluid in it.
They do have a filter. It’s linked in the description. This video covers the fluid change recommended by Toyota. IMHO if you do this as recommended, you will not need to change the filter.
You can’t follow Toyota procedure if you can’t read the transmission temp. You would be guessing. I would only recommend doing this if you are able to read transmission temperature.
If you change the fluid as recommended, you shouldn’t ever have to change the filter. The filter is intended as a safety precaution for any partials left my the manufacturing process.

Good and informative video, not any videos servicing the 8 speed this great. Going to be changing my fluid soon, about to hit 65k. Question, what is your opinion on using a infrared temperature gun to measure the transmission temp.?
Thanks Adrien, I have use an infrared temp gauge in a pinch. I don’t trust it as much as a scam tool but it will definitely get you in the ballpark. Even if you were off 10 degrees I can imagine it would make a huge difference in fluid level.
On some of them there is. The idea is to pin it open, to allow flow through the cooler even when the trans temp is lower than the thermostat will open for. If there is air in the cooler lines you could have improper transmission level. If the transmission is serviced when cool, this should not be an issue. It will be closed the whole time, not allowing any fluid to drain out of the cooler.
The drain / fill procedure I perform in this video is exactly what Toyota recommends. There is a filter, but if you perform the drain / fill procedure as recommended you shouldn't have to worry about the filter. Filter and gasket kit: amzn.to/3RGJs18 The crush washers usually don't need to be replaced. I typically inspect them and if they look fine, I haven't had any issues with reusing them. Drain plug crush washer: amzn.to/3NpK88D I haven't been able find a part listing for the fill plug crush washer.
@@viewlesswind You may need to / want to replace the filter if you don't perform the drain / fill procedure as recommended by Toyota or if the fluid gets extremely dark / dirty. I don't have any inside information on repair manuals. If you google it you will find several different options. Sorry I'm not more helpful on this.
There is. I typically don't replace them unless there is clearly an issue with them. I have occasionally had an issue with old one and new ones alike, not common though.
I followed all the steps in your video (thank you), but when I got the car up to temp and opened the drain bolt, nothing came out. It only started draining immediately once I shut off the engine. Once it started trickling, I closed the drain bolt. The amount that came out was the additional fluid that I added on top of what was initially taken out. Any guidance? Thanks.
Hey William, If no fluid came out, when following the procedure, then the fluid level is to low. I would suggest adding another 1/2 quart and check again. Make sure you keep it running when you have the drain plug out and are setting the level. If you shut it off it will drain additional fluid resulting in an incorrectly low fluid level. cliff notes: Add more fluid. Keep it running while setting the fluid level. Does that make sense?
@@Dreadvermin1 might be worth buying the stuff to do it yourself then. The most expensive part is a scanner and that a very useful and universal tool to have on hand.
You’re level will be incorrect. If it’s to warm when you drain the excess, the level will be to low. If it’s not warm enough, the level will be to high.
I think on this one it took a good 15 minutes. I just did a highlander yesterday and it took about 5 minutes and very quickly hit max temp range for setting the level. It had been sitting over night so it was stone cold to begin with. The Camry as done in the winter time though, even though it was in a heated garage it was definitely cooler to begin with.

Thanks and have a wonderful weekend
My Toyota dealership told me not to change the transmission fluid on my 2018 Camry until it hits 120k miles. I’m just at 115k miles and I’ve never changed it before. I’m now hearing from elsewhere I should’ve been changing the fluid every 60k. Have I done damage to the transmission for waiting this long? I’m taking it in for a full flush service in a few days.
It’s probably fine, but it’s definitely a good call to start doing it now. I’ve seen cars with a lot more miles and no trans service come out ok, but that’s rolling the dice a bit.
Do not do a full flush just do a drain and refill the gentleman from the carnut channel who is a Toyota mechanic said never to do a full flush that it’s good to have some of the old with the new fluid. If you do a full flush, the fluid will be thinner and it can mess with your clutches in the transmission.
No, if you change the fluid as recommended by Toyota you will probably never have to change the filter. The wear material is very fine particles that mostly remain suspended in the fluid. When you change the fluid, you are removing the particles.
