Tech tips for the peeps that want to do this themselves. -Hybrid transmissions are not the same as non hybrid transmission. Fill procedure is different -when doing drain and fill procedures, always open the fill port first, then open the drain. Especially if you live on the East where there’s a lot of salt on the road.

I remember that was the first thing I was taught when I started working at the dealer: Make sure you are able to fill before you drain any fluid. A simple fluid change will become a disaster real quick. (I'm in Quebec, Canada so rust is really a thing here).

I reviewed the video several times but did not see a way to flush fluid out. When I did it on my tundra I drained the pan and over filled it with 8 qts, then disconnected a line in the front close to the radiator to get the nasty fluid out of the torque converter and system. With that said which line on this trans mission should I disconnect to get old fluid out of the cars tranny torque converter and system once I fill it like you did in the video?

@@misterbean8213 I’m sorry I didn’t read your first question entirely. If you want to flush it then yea disconnect one of trans lines at the cooler not sure which one comes from the trans or goes to the trans but should be pretty easy to find out once disconnected. Might make a little mess. But just make sure you have fresh fluid constantly running back into the trans to avoid running it dry. We hardly ever did actual flushes at the dealer it was always drain and fill.

car care nut(toyota master mechanic) explained how to do trans fluid change on 4runners. it definitely wasn't a simple drain and fill process. he said how you have to remove/fill depending on the temperature etc. is this something all toyota mechanics know?

For anyone that doesn’t know, you can buy the rubbers for the windshield wipers so you don’t need a whole new windshield wiper

Make sure you check the air flow direction when changing the cabin filter. It has to be put in a certain way to filter properly. There are arrows on the door to the filter compartment and the filters.

It's because most people at dealerships don't know how to talk to their customers and instill confidence that they are recommending needed services.

If people that worked at dealerships just knew how to converse with customers without coming off as sleazy salespeople, it would be different.

Muchas gracias por compartir 😇!

Literally did my transmission today at my local shop. Car was up in the air on a lift. Took out 3.5 qts. You only took out 3 qts cause your car was only lifted from the front causing the ATF to roll to the back of the transmission behind the drain bolt. Should've lifted the rear to make the car even as possible.

I have a 2020 Camry Hybrid LE... The Transmission Fluid drain and fill is the same procedure correct? Are the drain plug and fill in the same location as the 2022 Camry Hybrid? Should I hook up an OBD 2 Sensor to check exact transmission fluid temp (hot ATF expands and cold ATF contracts) that could change the amount of ATF that drips out the fill plug? Should I cycle through the gears (Drive-Reverse-Neutral-etc.) to run the ATF through before capping the fill plug drain off?

Also clean the throttle body and add injectors cleaner and open brakes clean and lubricant the caliber pin

Just drain the inverter and fill the reservoir back up and run the vehicle with cap off to let bleed or use a vacuum bleeder. I have a CT200h so basically a prius might be doing a video on that service soon.

Sounds false to me, running the heater just allows a valve to let coolant flow through the heater core located beneath the dashboard, The hot coolant running through the heater core allows the air being blown past it by your cars blower motor to allow hot air to be blown out your vents into the cabin. If that was true, then I guess you could possibly "ruin something" anytime you ran the heater in your car which makes 0 sense.
