How often should the Camry's transmission fluid be changed?
1 Answers
Toyota recommends changing the transmission fluid every 60,000 kilometers, with a replacement capacity of 2L. Below are the methods for changing the transmission fluid in a Toyota Camry: 1. Gravity Drain. Loosen the nut at the bottom of the transmission oil pan and allow the old transmission fluid to drain out naturally by gravity. This method is the simplest, but it cannot completely drain the transmission fluid, leaving residual dirty old fluid in mechanical crevices and dead spots. 2. Machine Flush. First, add new transmission fluid to the flushing machine, then connect the transmission to the machine via hoses. The new fluid is pumped in under pressure, pushing out the old fluid. This method cleans the fluid passages more thoroughly. 3. Oil Pan Removal. This method cleans from the source, providing a more thorough cleaning, and also allows for the cleaning of the transmission fluid filter.
