I currently have a 07 camry v6 with u660e transmission. Going to drain and refill of transmission fluid? How many quarts do i need for drain and refill? It seems it doesn't have a transmission dipstick.
View 1 RepliesI just found out there is no dip stick/fill tube for my 07 Expedition 6spd 6R. How to refill after service without using a flush machine. I also can't find any spec sheet on how much to refill or how to tell when it's full.
View 9 RepliesDrained and refilled 4qt on my 02 Camry. Also changed the trans filter. It used to be all the way up to "HOT", but very low after refill. What's the trick here? Need another qt?

View 6 RepliesI own a 2007 Toyota Camry XLE with about 95,000 miles and I was wondering if changing the transmission fluid is ever necessary. The maintenance guide, which shows required maintenance for every 5,000 miles through 120,000 miles, never mentions the need to change it (unless I'm doing towing, which I'm not). However, I found some articles on the web which suggest that it should be changed every 50,000 miles.
View 14 RepliesI have a 2009 camry 2.4L with a 5speed manual transmission. My car currently has 67,000 miles and I want to drain / change the transmission oil. Is there a type or recommended best oil to use? I was thinking of just getting toyota factory 75w-90 gear oil and putting it back in. Is the process for drain / change the same as the corolla because I saw a DIY for the 5 speed corolla trans.
View 14 RepliesFirstly I have a I4 2007 Camry LE with 102,000km.
I just did a drain a fill on the transmission [I didn't check the level before draining, but i should have]. While draining I did measure how much fluid came out and it was roughly under 3 Liters.
I refilled exactly 3 Liters. Checked the level and it was above the HOT mark. I though i filled up too much but after driving the car for 10-15 mins i brought it back on full level ground, ran it through the gears and checked the fluid level, the level dropped down to the COOL reading.
To be certain i left the car on level ground all night, checked in the morning and sure enough the level jumped back to above the HOT mark on the dipstick.
I have checked every day since the change and every-time I check the level when warm it shows around the COOL marking on the dipstick. Does this mean that my oil level is low?
This is the first drain and fill i did on the car, and as I mentioned i replaced the exact amount that came out.
i have a 07 camry around 121xxx on it, ive been hearing water sloshing around the dash and am pretty sure its a clogged ac line. Problem is i cant locate it.
View 3 RepliesI got home tonight and smelled coolant. Looked under the car, coolant everywhere. I see the issue: a big hose (maybe 2" in diameter) has a tear in it and is spraying out coolant. I'm going to replace it, but once I do, how should I add coolant back into the radiator? Do I just pour it into the overflow?

Last week I checked my transmission fluid and it was very low. I added fluid and checked it the next day and it was low again. I noticed trans fluid on the front of the pan so i went out and bought a new trans filter and a new trans pan gasket and replaced them, sealed and bolted the trans pan back properly, and added the fluid. I thought that this would fix the leak but I see that the pan is still leaking from the front of it.
Can the 2014 2.5 cyl Camry be driven safely for a short distance (under 10 miles) with some of the transmission fluid drained?I recently bought my wife a new loaded Camry XLE to replace her 2003 LE. She decided to surprise me and change her own oil to prove a point to me that she could do it. Long story short, she drained out almost a quart (I measured it) of ATF before she realized it shouldn't look red and re-plugged it.
Now I need to take it in to get it topped off, because as far as I can tell there is no dipstick or fill point for the tranny. The nearest dealership is about 9 miles of West Virginia mountain roads away. Do I need a tow or can I drive it in? It is a brand new car and I don't want to risk hurting it.. but a tow is expensive. The car has 6,000 miles on it.
I have a 2005, I4. At 60K miles did a transmission pan drop and filter change. Now at 75K doing a drain and refill, I realized that instead of the 3.7qt's I need around 5qt of fluid to get it to the normal level. Also drained 5 qt's.
So I am assuming the new transmission filter/strainer is not holding as much fluid as the original strainer.
My 2007 Kia spectra is losing transmission fluid but not leaving a spot user the car where is it going?
View 8 RepliesI just did a drain and refill method on my 2014 Camry SE last weekend. However, after measured and calculated, I took out 2qts 1.5oz, but I only pumped in 1.95 qts. So, now the fuild is about 2oz off. Later, I took about 100 miles trip, car shifted fine.
I planted to do a drain and refill again next week. This time, I think I will carefully measure how much fluid is out then pump in the same + 2oz.
I still not sure if that enough, my question is: Can I buy a thermal gun and then measure the temp of the transmission pan, then perform checking fluid? Should it correct?
I have a 2011 camry, I can not figure out how to check my transmission fluid. I don't see the dipstick under the hood anywhere.
View 14 RepliesI have an 02 camry and the transmission appears to be leaking fluid around the transmission pan. The tranny shifts fine and I wiped the pan noticed the leak to get a little worse since the last time I was under to change the engine oil. Does that pan have a gasket or does it seal with just hi-temp sealer?

View 14 RepliesI have a 2010 Santa Fe V6. The transmission fluid filler cap is too close to a housing unit that a wrench or a socket won't fit around it but I also noticed another plastic cap that is connected to it and was wondering it that was for (is this where you fill in the oil? seems too small). I've attached a picture and would love to hear what you think. The filler cap is at the bottom and the plastic cap is on the top.
View 12 RepliesMy mechanic says the transmission fluid in my 2007 Rav4 (about 47K, normal driving) is black and needs replacing ($144). I called the local Toyota service department who said this car has a sealed transmission and replacement is not needed. The Toyota maintenance schedule does not recommend replacement until 120K miles.
View 12 RepliesI have a 2007 3ld with 195 000 miles so about 300 000 km - I think it may be beneficial to change the transmission fluid as I have no plans to change the car.
View 3 RepliesI bought a 2002 camry last month. It has 180k on it, and the previous owner says he never had the trans fluid changed.
It started to slip, so I parked it and I had it towed to a trans shop. Of course, they immediately say I need a trans rebuild.
My house was close, so I drove it home without any issues.
What are the chances that a fluid change will correct this for a little while atleast?
