How often should the CVT transmission fluid in a Corolla be changed?
1 Answers
The CVT transmission fluid in a Corolla is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. The Corolla uses a CVT continuously variable transmission (simulating 8 gears) and an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. The replacement intervals vary for different types of vehicles. Below are the recommended replacement intervals for transmission fluid. Manual Transmission: Manual transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every three years or approximately 100,000 kilometers. Automatic Transmission: Automatic transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 40,000 kilometers. Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): CVT transmission fluid is generally recommended to be changed every two years or approximately 60,000 kilometers. The methods for changing transmission fluid are as follows: 1. Loosen the drain screw at the bottom of the transmission to drain the old fluid, then refill with new fluid. 2. Remove the transmission oil pan directly to drain the old fluid and refill: This method is more thorough than the previous one, as it removes impurities from the bottom of the oil pan. 3. Use a circulation machine to change automatic transmission fluid: A smart circulation machine can perform dynamic fluid replacement, filtering and cleaning sludge and impurities inside the automatic transmission.
