Thanks for the video....it motivated me to change my fluid on my 2017 Camry at 76 k miles. However, like anything and everything else in my life..I have to McGiver my own way of doing it and it worked out great for me once again. I didnt have a 24mm socket..so I used my 15/16 socket....perfect No jacks ..no leveling ..no running car. Not necessary ( for me ) I turned the wheel full lock...took off the wheel well piece you noted.....and removed the WS transmission fill nut ..as you noted....but no 2' extension needed. It was tough to remove torque wise ..but I got it I didnt have a 6mm socket...so I used a 6 mm alen key and clamped my vise grip on to it for leverage.. just slid an aluminum turkey roasting pan under the trans pan ( sorry wifey) ( thank you dollar store).. removed the drain plug with my allen key set-up . Let it drain.... Removed the overflow tube with Allen key.. let it drain..let it drain baby.... Again...no jacks no leveling...can be done just sliding along side car. no problem Once fully drained and no more drips.. I re-installed the overflow tube..then drain plug. I poured the drained trans fluid ( dark brownish red) ( needed changing) into an empty 5 qt oil jug,,,, to measure what came out. Approx 2 1/3 qts of fluid came out. I didnt have a funnel with long tube. ( I looked at 2 Walmarts .none to be found) so I set-up a series of daisy chained funnels and expandable funnel extensions so it just came out enough to pour the new Valvoline synthetic WS Trans Fluid in. Worked perfect.. No drips. no spills no errors. 2 1/3 Qts of new fluid added. I will drive it to dinner tonight and tomorrow I will repeat the process ..and then do it again in another week or so.... and I will be happy and be able to sleep better and my transmission will be happy with fairly clean and mostly new fluid. I will do this Once a year just to keep me happy...

I would add check the level the night before while it was warm so you know if it was right. You can always adjust later. And you can buy a kit of tubes for refilling, along with a fliud pump. Not cheap at first, it will pay for itself, especially if the old fluid is discolored, you will need to repeat as necessary. Do not use any trans cleaner. This is basically Mercon V fluid it will do the job by itself. Anything that isn't CVT or Chrysler/Jeep uses it. PS Trans pan warm to the touch is fine, also even a cheap scanner will show you trans fluid temp under ECU 2.

This method makes a lot of sense. You're checking the pan temp and the temp of the fluid as it's coming out. I've looked at all the other videos and have read the Toyota manual and this is method will get you very close to the right level. When you think about it, Toyota engineers have to have some tolerance built in for their transmissions that are a bit too full or not quite full. They you also have to compensate for altitude and stuff like that. Thanks for taking the time to make this video! Much appreciated!

Yep. The 4 cylinder is the U760 and he correctly stated the operating temperature for checking the fluid. 95 to 113 degrees F is when you check it. If you don't have a temp gun, then you can take a copper wire and jump the OBD2. The 4th plug at the top and 5th plug on the bottom. Then turn on car. Make sure all lights, radio and AC are off to avoid a load. Then move lever from P to D to P. Helps circulate fluid before moving on to next step. Next you move the shift lever N and D back and forth for more than 6 seconds to enter fluid detection mode. The D shift indicator comes on for 2 seconds and then turns off. Remove the copper wire from OBD2 port to get a smooth idle. When the D shift indicator pops up on the dash, it's at the right temp. Now you can check the fluid level. If the D shift indicator starts blinking, it's to hot. You need to wait until it cools down to retry. The fluid detection mode will stay active until you turn off the ignition. Also don't drive with the wire hooked up to OBD2.

Aside from one of the plugs being in the wheel well (odd place for that really), it is very similar to changing the fluid in my Passat. The key difference is that VW was nice enough to leave a fill plug in a place not too weird like in the wheel well. I noticed that Japanese vehicles often have oil filters in the wheel well too or in some cases under a manifold. I don't know why they make them so hard to work on in such a way.

I find having it the wheel well is very convenient. I much prefer that to having to be up under the vehicle.

I see that you do not answer your viewer comments so I guess this is rhetorical but it would be nice if you state where you get the instructions from. Some of your steps are not the same as other videos and some seems strange. Like why would you need to heat up the oil before you drain it -you can get out a lot more fluid from a cold transmission pan than a warm one that has moved the fluid to the transmission. Other videos said to turn the car off when checking the fluid level. A running transmission will have a lot less fluid in the pan than if it were off. The difference in fluid levels caused by a wrong practice could cause serious problems. I'm not saying your method is wrong, we just need to know where it came from to know if it is right. (Also your temperature was already above your maximum according to the temp probe when you removed it)

I think though that this video combines the Toyota literature steps of how to simply check the fluid level with actually how to change the fluid level. Seems crazy to add fluid to get it to the correct level and then drain it out again with the drain and fill. Why would we need to go through the steps of heating the car up, shifting, adding new fluid to bring up to the correct fluid level only to then drain it right back out? I think those initial steps are only if you want to check the level. If you know you are going to drain it then just drain it and then go through the steps you showed after draining it.

Hi Verlaryder, How come you heated up the fluid first to 104-113, and added fluid to make it level, and THEN drained it all out? Couldn't you have just drained it while cold, measured what you took out (which is a bit less than 2qts when I did it on my 2013 Venza), add the 2qt 4oz, heated up the transmission to 104-113, and then check the level, letting excess dribble out until level?

First half of the video is learning the procedure of how to check and adjust the fluid level which requires heating the fluid to 104-113 (V6) or 95-113 (4 cyl). Second half is learning the procedure for draining and refilling. The owner who first masters the first half of the video will then not have to worry about the temp of the fluid when they drain; e.g. they could drain the fluid cold or when scalding hot because they would still know how to get the fluid level correct after refilling.

Neither plug is under pressure so neither plug needs to be more than slightly snug to prevent leaks. Same with manual transmission drain and fill plugs.

I would update video as you put in wording “oil” pan drain. You might want to say “transmission” drain plug. I can see someone removing engine oil plug. I know if you are doing this then you should know which one is the transmission plug but some do not and have drained the wrong fluid.

When you park (geat shifter in park) your camry on a hill or even a slight slope and you let off the brake, and the car rolls forward. Does the gear shifter click or make like a clicking/locking sound when the parking prawl catches?

It's a pin like mechanism that gets pushed in when you shift into park. Then when you release the brakes it catches on a notched gear. That clicking your hearing is it catching. Try and ease your foot off the brake to gradually catch the pin. Don't just let off the brake fast and let your car bounce. They are super strong but why over stress it

Press foot brake to stop, hold the foot brake after stopped, then put the gear into Neutral, engage hand brake tightly, release foot brake slowly and let car roll forward or backward if parking on a slope, press foot brake firmly again and move the gear to P quickly, then turn off the engine, now the car gear wouldn't be in a tension position.

My TIS subscription has expired so I can't check for this model/yr, but many Toyota's that have no dipstick are put into "temp check mode" by jumpering pins 4 & 13 in the OBD port; then shifting between N & D x number of times in x number of secs.
@geecrawdad

That's correct. It's put into "fluid temperature detection mode", then "engine idle speed control mode" so it's around 800 rpm, then the level is checked. The procedure in the video, although not as accurate as Techstream, will likely suffice if done carefully. I don't use this method but, if I were to use it, I would want to know more precisely the temp of the fluid itself and the rpm, both of which are possible with little expense.

Inside the pan is a green plastic straw like tube. You let excess fluid drain from the straw to a fast dribble.

The part I don't understand is that when the fluid is hot it will expand and thus will appear to be overfilled (rise above the plastic overflow tube) when in fact it is not necessarily overfilled. I would think that you would want to pull the plug when the car has been off long enough and under 90 degree to determine if there is too much by pulling the plug? What am I missing here?
