How to Change the Transmission Oil for Corolla Hybrid?

Corolla Hybrid transmission oil replacement method: 1. Drain all the oil from the oil pan; 2. Connect a long tube to the interface where the oil outlet pipe was disconnected, start the engine, shift between D and R gears, and run for 5 to 10 minutes. At this time, the transmission will start circulating, pumping oil out through the tube connected by the owner. The old oil will come out first, and when the new oil color appears, it indicates that the oil has been replaced. Then, turn off the engine. The Corolla Hybrid is a brand of Toyota Motor, with dimensions of 4630mm in length, 1775mm in width, 1485mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2700mm.
I've changed the transmission fluid for the Corolla Hybrid several times. First, warm up the car to normal operating temperature, then park and turn off the engine—this helps the fluid flow more smoothly. You'll need the right wrench, new fluid (specifically for ECVT, Toyota Genuine is fine), a drain pan, and a funnel. Locate the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission, remove it to let the old fluid drain completely, and be careful not to burn yourself. Once fully drained, reinstall the plug and slowly add the new fluid through the fill port. Don't overfill or underfill—follow the manual's specified capacity, usually 1-2 liters. I recommend checking the fluid level regularly to prevent premature aging and wear. The typical interval is every 40,000-60,000 km or based on driving habits. The whole process takes about an hour and isn't difficult with the right tools, but safety first—make sure the car is securely supported before starting.
