How Many Liters of Oil Should Be Added to the Camry Transmission?
2 Answers
The amount of oil to be added to the Camry transmission depends on the oil change method. Approximately 6 liters are required for a conventional gravity oil change, while around 12 liters are needed for an exchange machine oil change. The Camry is a mid-size car under GAC Toyota, with dimensions of 4885mm in length, 1840mm in width, and 1455mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2825mm. It features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension. In terms of power, the Camry is equipped with a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine paired with a CVT transmission, delivering a maximum power of 160kW and a maximum torque of 221Nm.
I've been driving a Camry for over ten years, and the amount of transmission fluid needed depends on the specific model. My older 2.4L automatic transmission takes about 4.8 liters, while newer models may require up to 6 liters. Remember to warm up the car first and then check the dipstick—the fluid level should be at the middle mark. Too little fluid can cause overheating and jerky shifts, while too much may leak and affect performance. I've changed it myself before—basically, you drain the old fluid, add new fluid, and check the level. Always use the manufacturer-recommended ATF fluid. It's recommended to change it every 60,000 kilometers to save on future repair costs. The manual has detailed specifications, and if you're unsure, it's safer to take it to a 4S shop—spending a little money ensures safety. Pay attention to gear-shifting sounds during normal driving to detect issues early.
