As a Toyota Service Advisor who wishes to help owners service their Toyota appropriately, without being taken advantage of, I wish more owners would watch your channel. Love the content.

@marcodarko6941 Год назад

Out of curiousity. 2016 Highlander @ 90k on the clock, transmission service recommended by dealer service advisor/tech is to flush only.. not a big fan of flush personally.. leaning towards a drain and fill. Service advisor doesn't recommend drain/fill, said it is more expensive (cost doesn't matter so much as doing what is right is more important) they have to drop the pan and all the old fluid won't get fully drained.. can they change the filter at that point?? What would your preference be? Won't hold you to it, just looking for a second opinion/advice.Also should I go ahead with a differential/transfer case fill and drain along with the transmission service while I am at it? Service advisor is also suggesting brake fluid flush. I plan to do some maintenance items throughout the next year as I approach 100k. Any of your time is very much appreciated.. if Mr. Car Care was closer I would would give him whatever he wanted to charge to go over my car with a fine tooth comb.

Thank you so much! When my husband passed away I thought I should learn about my car so I would make sure it was maintained like it should be. I am so thankful I found your channel. I bought a new 2017 Lexus ES350 and was having the dealer do the maintenance based on their maintenance schedule. Now I know I should be changing the oil sooner than they recommended. When I took my car in last time I told them I wanted to change my oil every 5K/6 months. They told me I didn't need to but they would be glad to take my money. It was so maddening. We only have one Lexus dealer in my area so I feel like I have to take it to them so I have a complete maintenance record in case I decide to sell my car. It would be a good selling point. It's hard to find a good honest mechanic. I'm sure there are some but I don't want to take a chance. At least if something goes wrong and they are the only ones who did the maintenance, I'll know it was them who did it. God bless you!

@gordonbarber9652 Год назад

All the videos I have watched from the car care nut have been very helpful in maintaining my toyota camry. When you are on a limited fix income your radiator coolant can be checked for consideration to change or not to change, or maybe even a flush. Use a fish tank PH stick for acidity level. The radiator cap being all slimed up is a good indicator for a flush. I have 120 thousand on mine and just checked it, and it all looks good and checks ok, probably will change the coolant before next summer when I can afford some good coolant.

Thank you for your work! It is extremely hard to find straight forward and honest technicians willing to share their knowledge. Regarding after market coolants, after how long do problems occur with those? I bought a used 2015 Scion at 47.000km last year and now it has about 78.000km, the dealership told me the previous owner had the coolant flushed with generic yellow “all makes and models” to replace the factory one. Should I wait to the 100.000km and just drain and flush with Toyota’s? Thank you for your help!

@TheCarCareNut 3 года назад

Honestly I would wait especially if the coolant looks clean. There’s no need to waste money. When you do get to replace it then use original coolant and you’re good to go.

I drive a 2004 Avalon. As of 08/2022 only 120k miles. Reduced driving drastically 10 years ago and still do a transmission fluid drain every three years and the oil every 3000 miles or at no longer than once a year. Even when I did "normal driving", the car handling improved with a transmission drain every three years. The family had three other Avalons of the same model and each attained at least 225000 miles. If I had owned them, I would have done more frequent oil and transmission fluid changes.

I asked for an ATF drain & refill service for my 2015 Sienna (it had 58K miles) but the service advisor couldn't find that itemized service. Then, he suggested 60K miles service and good thing I asked if ATF was included in that so he checked and nope! So, what's the point of suggesting the 60K service?😅 He then checked with 90K service and it wasn't there either. I'm just sharing my honest experience, I truly believe what you said, AMD - ATF needs to be serviced. However, my local toyota dealership couldn't do it for me. The advisor then came back with an explanation that because it has no dipstick, there is no need for service....unbelievable.

You might already know this but these early first gen RX's 4 speed transmissions was prone to early failures as soon a 40k.

I know you probably were not thinking about the ancient Toyotas when you were making this video, but there is another type of automatic transmission fluid that Toyota sells (Part Number 00718-ATF00) that replaces Dexron II and Dexron III that is no longer available (as true, licensed Dexron II or III). This transmission fluid is used in many Toyotas in the 1980s and 1990s as both transmission fluid and power steering fluid. This transmission fluid is not the same as Type T-IV.

Don't use Type IV fluid if your transmission needs Dexron III. My 1999 Toyota use Dexron 3 or Dexron 4 is backward compatible.

I would change it every 60-90k and it’s very simple drain and fill. It used WS fluid. I plan to do a diy video in the future once I get a hybrid Toyota that needs a trans fluid replacement.

Thank you for the great video! You've clarified confusions for me that I've bought Toyota Super Long Life coolant 3 years ago that was pink but in a red/black bottle with a yellow cap, and when I bought the same coolant this year, it has a different part# (00272 SLLC2) and label (also pink) just like the pink one you have in the video. I used this to top off the plastic tank in my 2007 Camry, and hope it is compatible with the red coolant in the car when I bought it. The manual calls for SLL coolant for this car. My car has 193,000 miles. The coolant loss is 5/8 of an inch down from the full mark for one year. The level is still on the upper side between "Full" and "Low." I've heard about SLL coolant is prone to leaks. But don't know if this is the case? I plan to have the water pump replaced next year.

@TheCarCareNut 3 года назад

Thank you for watching my video! Your car definitely takes pink coolant. They did change the packaging a while back. A very minor coolant loss over a long period is not a big concern. A very good inspection will reveal the source. Water pumps and radiators are common to leak on your car.

@peterchang4601 3 года назад

Thank you so much for your reply and advice! Your videos are very informative, and I love them! I replaced the radiator last year. I'll try to look for the dried pink crust from the bottom of the water pump next time when I get underneath the car.

I just did a transmission fluid and filter change on my wife's 2012 RAV4. I used Toyota WS automatic transmission fluid. However, I used a WIX transmission filter. I only buy OEM fluids and parts. I always used Motorcraft parts for all of my Fords.

Thank you AMD again for the great helpful videos. Your response and videos made me feel comfortable in buying a used camry 2012 xle v6. I am taking careful note on how to maintain the car as I truly love this car. I have two initial questions: 1) so the car is 9-10 year old with 60K miles. the owner hardly drove it for the last 5 years and kept it in a garage (so majority of the 60K miles are driven during its first 5 years). The pink coolant looks clean but I don't think it was ever changed. Should I still change it? If so it is 2 gallons of pink coolant that I need, correct? 2) for the transmission fluid change, a drain and fill would suffice (consider that it is at the right mileage but is like 5 year late)? If so how many quarts do I need? and no need to clean the transmission pan nor change the filter? Thank you so much again!

@TheCarCareNut 3 года назад

Hi! I would change the coolant. You’ll need 1 gallon and a bit so you’ll need 2 gallons handy and you’ll have some extra. The transmission fluid a drain and fill is sufficient, no need to drop the pan. You’ll need around 4 quarts to be on the safe side

I have always felt that the key to a car's longevity is frequent fluid checks and changes, cheap insurance. My engine oil gets changed at 3000 miles whether it is "clean" or not. I have the coolant changed every 50000 along with the manual gearbox oil. Really wanted to go for the V6 when I bought my 09 Camry, but high mile commutes forced me to stick with the 4cylinder (yeah yeah, I know, BIG mistake). I also felt that I would beat the crap out of an automatic trying to get the little engine to perform/pass at highway speeds so went with the 5 speed (yeah yeah, another mistake- never thought about sitting in highway stop/go traffic). Nonetheless, while I surely agree that lifetime fluids are a joke, there is this constant debate about changing/flushing automatic tranny fluids that I would love to hear your opinion on. First, how do you feel about having the automatic transmission "flushed"? So many scream never to do this, "you might free up debris/sludge which will damage the transmission". OK, I can understand that logic on an old transmission that has never been serviced with foul transmission fluid. But, what about on a relatively new car with say 30000-50000 miles, with normal looking fluid? To me, flushing seems like a great idea (but what do I know). Flushing is the only way to change all the fluid, just draining the pan doesn't even change half the fluid. I don't understand the notion that flushing will free up debris/sludge either. I am assuming that the direction of fluid flow is the same when you flush as it is when the transmission is actually working, so what harm could it cause?? Unless you flushed at a much higher pressure than normal fluid flow. I understand that many shops have probably been burned by servicing tranny fluids, only to have the owner return with a problem a short time later, but am assuming this is only on transmissions that have never been serviced properly in the past. I also understand that shops will probably tell you to "leave it alone" if your transmission has not been serviced properly and the fluid appears dark/burned. But, how do you feel about flushing automatic transmissions on a relatively low mile newer car with normal looking/smelling fluid?

@lukek1949 Год назад

Scotty and Chris Fix both have videos saying to drain and fill. No flush. If you change your trans fluid regularly, there should be no problem.

@DKSOOHOO1 3 года назад

When Toyota replaces the engine coolant, do they just draining the coolant from the radiator and then refill? Or do they "flush" the system with distilled water by draining coolant from radiator, refill with distilled water and run the engine with heater on, then drain and refill with distilled water again and run engine again with heater on, and then do a final drain and refill with fresh coolant? Thanks so much for all your great advice.

@TheCarCareNut 3 года назад

Hi Doug. Normally drain the radiator and block in models with a drain and refill and bleed. Unless there’s contamination there’s no reason to flush things.

Thanks for the informative videos. I have a 2012 Corolla LE and have been doing trans drain and fills every 30k at the dealer. It uses the WS fluid and I know you suggest changing it every 60k. My dealership does the coolant and trans fluid change at 30k, 60k, 90k intervals as part of the major service and it's all included for $400. Am I overdoing the coolant and trans changes or do you recommend continuing to do it this way? I really need this car to last me 330k.

@@TheCarCareNut Toyota does a drain and refill. 4 or 5 quarts comes out and then refill. Simple job. They way over charge for that. I just did my Acura RDX and Honda/Acura doesn't recommend flushing! Its hard on the seals. Check before you let anybody flush.

Actually most Toyota dealerships will flush the fluid then do a high temperature fluid level check.

@valleygirl2020an 3 года назад

If the flush is done correctly and followed by a level check then it’s good. Otherwise a drain and fill with a level check.

@lukek1949 Год назад

Well said. You say exactly what Scotty says about “lifetime fluid.” Don’t risk it! I have the rare manual transmission (6-speed) in my 2014 Corolla. Had the dealer change the fluid at 100,000 km (60,000 mi). Interestingly, they likely put the wrong fluid in (likely the more common 75w90), as it shifted hard from cold in 2nd gear. This transmission calls for 75W LV (low viscosity). Took a bit of research, but I found Redline made this exact fluid. Had the dealer change it at 140,000 km. Night and day in terms of shifting.

@jims2507 2 года назад

Hi AMD, I have a question about transmission fluid. I was just reading TSB 006-11, and it says a number of things, but I have a question about this: Containers storing Toyota ATF-WS should ALWAYS be sealed - If exposed to the atmosphere, ATF-WS may absorb moisture and potentially cause shift concerns if used in operation. Use only new, clean ATF-WS when refilling the transmission. This is some strong language, but they don't say only use WS-ATF from unopened containers (like brake fluid does). In the past I have kept ATF indefinitely until I need it. Do you have a feel for how long I can store it after opening and re-sealing a bottle? Thanks!!

@TheCarCareNut 2 года назад

Hi! Honestly I wouldn’t use open containers after max of 6 months

@lejoshmont2093 2 года назад

To me that sounds like WS isn't a life time fluid. It is my understanding that transmissions vent to atmosphere.
