How Often Should the Transmission Fluid Be Changed for a Toyota Camry?

[MacGrace]

Transmission fluid replacement intervals are calculated similarly to vehicle maintenance cycles, based on mileage or time. For the Toyota Camry, the transmission fluid should be changed every 40,000 kilometers. Below are the functions of transmission fluid: 1. Ensures normal operation of the transmission and extends the lifespan of the transmission components. 2. Provides effective lubrication even at low temperatures. 3. Reduces fluid loss under harsh operating conditions. Below is the method for changing transmission fluid: 1. Drain all the fluid from the oil pan, then refill with new fluid. Next, disconnect the outlet pipe from the transmission to the transmission fluid cooler and use an air tank to blow air, pushing the fluid from the cooler back into the transmission through the return pipe. 2. Connect a long tube to the interface where the outlet pipe was removed. Start the engine, shift between D and R gears, and run for 5 to 10 minutes. The transmission will begin circulating, pumping the old fluid out through the connected tube. When new fluid starts coming out, you can turn off the engine.
