Changing automatic and manual transmission oil on a Toyota Corolla 120: how to choose oil

Automatic and manual gearboxes of the Toyota Corolla 120 operate in difficult conditions. To extend their service life, it is necessary to promptly replace the transmission fluid, purchasing only original or recommended oil. Otherwise, the gearbox will quickly fail.

It is recommended to fill the Corolla 120 manual gearbox with original Toyota LV 75W oil.

Original oil for manual transmission, but it is optimally suited for manual transmission. To replace, you will need from 1.9 to 2.3 liters, depending on the filling volume of the gearbox. The cost of branded oil ranges from 560 to 800 rubles per liter.

In addition to branded lubricant, the automaker allows the filling of transmission fluids from third-party manufacturers. In this case, the oil must meet the SAE 75W-90 specification. The use of thinner or thicker lubricants has a detrimental effect on the box. Another requirement of the automaker is that the fluid meets the API specification - GL4 or GL5.

Based on the operating experience of the Toyota Corolla 120, it has been revealed that it is better to purchase oil with the GL4 specification. GL5 grease has a more aggressive composition. Therefore, it negatively affects synchronizers. Its use can reduce the service life of a manual transmission by 20-25%.

You should not purchase transmission fluids that have the “HYPOID” prefix, even from Toyota. These oils have a different SAE specification than the recommended one. When pouring oil labeled “HYPOID”, the synchronizers may fail after 30-40 thousand km, since this lubricant is more intended for gearboxes.

Unlike manual transmissions, automatic transmissions are more sensitive to transmission oil. Therefore, it is recommended to fill the box only with original lubricant. It is available in two versions:

• in a black 4-liter container with article number 08886-81015;
• in a silver 4-liter canister with catalog number 08886-01705.

In terms of their composition and performance characteristics, both automatic transmission oils are no different. Therefore, lubricants can be mixed by adding or partially replacing. The price of oils is also the same and ranges from 2 to 2.

5 thousand rubles.

Branded automatic transmission oil The only difference between the fluids is the country in which they are produced. Branded automatic transmission lubricant is also sold in liter jars with article number 08886-81016. Its cost is about 600 rubles.

Description of the procedure for checking the oil level in an automatic transmission on a Corolla 120

In order to check the oil level in the automatic transmission, you must follow the instructions given below.

• Brake the Corolla 120 on level ground.
• When the power plant is running, it is necessary to switch the gearbox selector in all modes.
• Stop shifting the lever in the “neutral” or “park” position.
• Remove the dipstick from the automatic transmission.
• Wipe it with a clean, lint-free cloth.
• Return the dipstick to its place.
• Remove the dipstick again.
• Check the oil level on the dipstick. It should be between the marks. In this case, it is necessary to take into account whether the amount of lubricant is measured on a cold or hot box.

Features of choice

All presented products are divided into three large groups: mineral, semi-synthetic and synthetic oils. The first ones are made from oil. They have the lowest cost, and are used in old cars from the 90s to the 70s. If you have a modern foreign car manufactured in 2000 (and later), then it is recommended to use synthetic or semi-synthetic products.

Such oils (unlike mineral oils) have many advantages, including:

• High thermal and chemical stability.
• Higher turnover.
• Resistance to temperature fluctuations.
• Long service life.
• Better penetration.

Synthetics promote the formation of a denser film on the surface of parts, which significantly reduces wear.

If funds allow, order original products from the manufacturer. It is necessary to use TOYOTA Getriebeoil LV 75W, since it was created specifically for this car model and, accordingly, will provide high-quality protection for gearbox components. If these products are too expensive, you can take a closer look at more affordable analogues. Car owners celebrate products from Castrol.

Sequence of work

1. Warm up the engine and drive the car onto the overpass. The oil should be hot and thinner
2. Turn off the engine, go down into the inspection hole
3. If there is a motor protection, it must be removed to gain access to the automatic transmission housing.
4. Before unscrewing the plug, make sure that a pan is installed under the crankcase to drain dirty oil.
5. The drain plug is unscrewed with a 13mm wrench. Hot oil will pour out of the drain hole, so you need to be careful and wear gloves
6. After draining the used oil, unscrew the transmission pan mounting bolts. A 10mm head is best suited for this. Do not unscrew the remaining 1-2 bolts completely, so that the oil pan does not fall.
7. Take a flat-head screwdriver, disconnect the pan from the gearbox housing, and then drain all remaining oil from the pan into a previously prepared container. Move the transmission pan to the side until we need it
8. Using a 10mm socket, unscrew the three bolts securing the automatic transmission filter
9. To dismantle the filter - to do this you need to pull it down towards you and remove it from its seat
10. Thoroughly clean the seat from dirt deposits, and then install a new oil filter with a gasket. Tighten the filter with a torque wrench to 11 N/m.
11. It is advisable to use carburetor cleaner to clean the transmission pan.
12. Place the pan back in place and use a new gasket. Please note that the bolt attachment points may be greasy (due to oil), so they must be degreased. For greater reliability of bolt fastenings, you can apply a thin layer of sealant
13. Tighten the drain plug with a wrench to 17 N/m
14. Fill with new oil. It is advisable to fill in as much as the old fluid has been drained. To know the exact volume, any measuring cup will do. As a last resort, you can use any identical plastic bottles - the used liquid is poured into one of them, and fresh original oil into the other
15. After filling in new fluid, disconnect the hose connecting the automatic transmission radiator and the automatic transmission housing. Take the prepared transparent hose, put it on a metal tube, and release it into a 1-liter container
16. Give the assistant the command to start the engine so that it idles a little - until exactly one liter is filled in that same 1-liter container. It is important that clean, light pinkish oil flows out of the hose (at first it will be black and dirty). Please note that this process usually takes 4 liters of oil.
17. When the process is completed, we collect all the parts and put them back in place.
18. Start the engine, switch the gearbox selector to different positions, then switch back to parking mode. Stop the engine and check the oil level using the dipstick. If the fluid is below the Max level, then the oil needs to be added a little.

Lubricant filling process

Timely change of lubricant in automatic transmissions is one of the conditions for trouble-free operation of the transmission as a whole. Before changing the oil in the automatic transmission of a Toyota Corolla, you should familiarize yourself with the procedure for performing the work.

Manufacturers of modern cars often claim that the lubricant poured into the gearbox housing at the factory does not need to be changed throughout its entire service life. The oil change in the Toyota Corolla automatic transmission should be carried out according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, every 160 thousand km. But real vehicle operating conditions reduce the service life of the fluid several times, so it is advisable to change the lubricant after 40–60 thousand km. In addition, the main sign of the need to replace the fluid in the box is its darkening, accompanied by the appearance of a characteristic odor.

When should you change the automatic transmission oil?

Service centers recommend changing the oil simultaneously with removing the pan. It is possible to drain the old used oil without dismantling the pan, but in this case, about half a liter of old used oil will remain in the gearbox, which will significantly worsen the characteristics of the new lubricant. When replacing transmission oil, it is also necessary to replace the filter element, which becomes unusable after 40–50 thousand kilometers and does not provide the proper quality of filtering the oil from impurities and waste.

Changing the oil in an automatic transmission will avoid premature wear of the clutches and improve the cooling of the entire unit as a whole. The first step when automatic transmission jerks occurs is to replace the fluid in the machine. When using low-quality oil, not only does the lubrication of moving elements deteriorate, but also the solenoids, which are responsible for lubrication and cooling of the gearbox, quickly become unusable.

Experts recommend changing transmission oil every 30–40 thousand kilometers, especially when operating the vehicle primarily in urban conditions. This way you can significantly extend its service life and get rid of the need to perform expensive overhauls of the Toyota automatic transmission.

Is it possible to change the transmission fluid in a Toyota automatic transmission yourself?

You can often hear the statement that only professional specialists can carry out the work of changing transmission oil. As a rule, this is stated by professional craftsmen who work in service centers. However, this is not true. No special equipment or tools are required to perform this work. You can change the transmission oil in literally an hour using a standard set of car keys. That is why, if you want to save money on using the services of professional specialists, we recommend that you do this work yourself.

The procedure for changing the oil on a Toyota Corolla is not particularly difficult, which allows you to do all the work yourself if you have certain skills. To do this, you will need a garage compressor, 1 liter of gasoline, 4 liters of oil, a set of tools and a funnel with a high neck.

Selecting oil and filter

The manufacturer fills gearboxes with JWS3309 and Type T-IV (or T4) approved oil. When purchasing a replacement lubricant, you need to choose a liquid that corresponds to exactly these parameters. Original Toyota Genuine ATF WS oil (order number 08886–02305) is supplied in plastic cans with a capacity of 0.946 liters or in four-liter tin cans.

Original Toyota Genuine ATF WS Oil A good alternative to the original lubricant is Total Fluide XLD FE, as well as Castrol Transmax Dex VI Mercon LV. However, Toyota recommends using only its own oil for replacement. Analogues can be used to refill automatic transmissions of older Corolla models with a 110 body, designed for the use of lubricants with a lower tolerance - D-III.

The video, shot by Vladimir Pyanykh, shows the process of changing the oil on a Toyota Corolla 110.

When changing the lubricant, a new oil filter must be installed. For Corolla E150 2010 and 2012 models, the original device with catalog number 35330–0W020 is used. The same filter was used on the earlier Toyota Corolla E120 2007 model. There are many analogues of such filter elements, for example, JS Asakashi JT425K or SAT ST353300W020, as well as a number of others.

On right-hand drive versions of Toyota Corolla Spasio and Fielder, the original filter 35330-0W021 or its analogue JS Asakashi JT425K is used.

Level control and required volume

While operating a Toyota Corolla, you should regularly monitor the oil level in the box.

On a new car, it is necessary to control the amount of lubricant after 50 thousand kilometers. On cars older than five years, the inspection frequency is every 20 thousand kilometers traveled or once a year.

The oil level in the Corolla automatic transmission can be checked using a special dipstick installed in the transmission housing. With a cold engine, the volume of lubricant should be no less than about on the dipstick rod. After the box has completely warmed up, without turning off the engine, you need to make sure that the amount of fluid is at the o level. If the oil volume is insufficient, it is necessary to add it and find out the reason for the decrease.

The full filling capacity of a Toyota car box depends on the country where the cars are delivered. Four-speed automatic transmissions Corolla 120 and 150 for European regions hold 3.8–4.0 liters of lubricant. Cars for the Japanese domestic market - Spasio and Fielder are equipped with all-wheel drive, so their gearbox crankcases are more capacious and hold about 8 liters of fluid.

What kind of oil to pour into the Toyota Corolla 120 gearbox

Nothing makes your car last longer than regularly changing the oil and other essential fluids.

The gearbox plays an extremely important role in the functioning of each car, therefore, just as it is important to change the engine oil in the Toyota Corolla 120, it is recommended to change the oil in the gearbox on time (or if necessary) and always of high quality, which is best suited specifically to the operating conditions of your vehicle. car.

When to change

It is recommended to change the oil in the Toyota Corolla 120 gearbox according to the regulations - every 40,000 km. But each car is operated under different conditions, and therefore we recommend that owners of a Corolla 120 with a manual transmission take note:

• at 40 thousand km, check the oil level and replace it if necessary;
• when operating a vehicle with additional loads such as towing a trailer or using a roof rack, as well as prolonged operation of the vehicle at high speeds for more than 2 hours, it is recommended to change the mechanical oil every 40,000 km, or 48 months;

In an automatic transmission, it is recommended to change the oil when necessary, and the frequency of oil changes directly depends on the driving style/manner and the conditions in which the car is operated. Some Toyota Corolla 120 owners change the oil once every 50, 60, 80 thousand kilometers, while others change the oil 3 times every 80,000 kilometers driven.

It is worth considering the fact that the manufacturer of automatic transmission oil Aisin recommends changing the oil once every 20,000 km, or once every 2 years

However, it is worth considering that no matter how much you drive and no matter what kind of transmission is installed on your car, in any case it will be unmistakable to periodically check the level and condition of the oil.

If dark or burnt liquid is found on the dipstick, it is imperative to change the oil as soon as possible, regardless of the mileage and time since the previous change.

If you have any doubts about the oil, change the manufacturer.

Which one to fill?

First of all, we recommend avoiding counterfeiting in every possible way. And adhere to the manufacturer's TOLERANCES. Thus, the recommended viscosity classification according to SAE is 75W, according to API GL-4 or GL-5. For automatic transmissions, it is recommended to use transmission oil with the Toyota Genuine ATF type T-IV specification (ATF JWS3309 or NWS6500).

When choosing oil for an automatic transmission, such properties as viscosity, density, fluidity are important.

List of Toyota transmission oils for manual transmissions, which are used by Toyota Corolla owners and in practice are recognized as the best oils:

• Toyota Gear Oil LV 75W MT (low viscosity index) and Toyota Gear Oil 75W-90 (original Toyota gear oil);
• Totachi GL 4 75 W (counterfeits are quite common);
• Aisin AT-F6004;
• Shell SPIRAX S4 G 75W-90;

For automatic transmission:

• Idemitsu ATF TYPE-TLS;
• Toyota ATF Type T-IV;
• GT Oil 8809059407912;

Most owners of 120 Corolla use original TOYOTA T4 oil in the gearbox - Toyota Gear Oil Manual Transmission LV 75W MT. It is also important to know that LV 75W oil (08885-81001) is recommended for use at ambient temperatures below -20 degrees. Transmission oil 75W-90 (08885-80606) can cause a howling/humming noise in the gearbox when the engine is cold and not warmed up

Oil change options

There are several types of oil changes in Toyota Corolla automatic transmissions, which differ in complexity:

1. The simplest operation is a partial replacement of the lubricant, which does not involve installing a new oil filter. In this case, the liquid located in the oil pan of the box is drained through a special hole, which is closed with a screw plug. Fresh grease is added through the dipstick hole. When making such a replacement, you need to know exactly the type of oil previously poured into the automatic transmission, since mixing fluids with different tolerances is prohibited.
2. A more complex process is a complete oil change, which is carried out in specialized automatic transmission repair and maintenance centers. During this procedure, the old oil is washed out with new oil supplied under pressure. In this case, up to 12 liters of ATF fluid will be required to change the lubricant. This operation is carried out without changing the filter and is therefore risky, especially on transmissions with high mileage. Since the dirt and wear products contained in the waste fluid will clog the filter and spread throughout the transmission. How the box will behave and how long it will last after such a replacement is unknown.
3. The third option is most preferable for Corolla automatic transmissions with any mileage. It consists of a complete oil change with removal of the pan, which allows you to install a new oil filter instead of the old one, in which a significant amount of dirt accumulates. Another advantage of this method, unlike others, is the ability to wash the inside of the pan and magnets from wear particles.

Eighth generation E110, 1997-2000

In terms of design, the 8th generation Corolla was almost no different from its predecessor. The car has not changed much in terms of design, but it has received a wider selection of options. The developers have improved sound insulation and ergonomics, and improved lateral support for the seats. The engine range included 1.3-2.2 liter petrol engines, borrowed from the previous model, and their power ranged from 70-165 hp. With. In addition to the sedan, the family also included a station wagon with optional all-wheel drive, combined only with a 1.8-liter engine (other versions only with 2WD). In 1999, an updated version of the Corolla was released with cosmetic improvements in design, and by that time the engines had received a VVT-i system for adjusting valve timing.

Manual transmission oil: volume – 1.9 liters with partial replacement

Ninth generation E120, 2000-2007

The 9th generation Corolla was completely unified with the Vista sedan for the Japanese market. In terms of design, the three- and five-door hatchbacks were quite similar, but the sedan and station wagon had an original front end. However, compared to the eighth generation, the changes are significant - the body has become more streamlined and devoid of angular shapes, and the hood has acquired a sloping and shortened shape. However, the interior evoked associations with the previous generation, even despite the improved equipment. In 2005, Toyota introduced a restyled Corolla with minor changes to the exterior, which extended the model's relevance until 2007. The most powerful version was offered with a 1.8-liter turbo engine (192 hp), which was equipped with a variable valve lift system (VVTL-i).

Manual transmission oil: volume – 1.9 liters with partial replacement

Tenth generation E150, 2006-2013

In the next generation, the Corolla became even more similar to the large Camry sedan. This was facilitated by the streamlined design of the front end, characteristic of the flagship, with slanted headlights and a horizontal radiator grille. From now on, only the sedan remained in the family, and the hatchback received the new designation Auris and became a separate model. As for the station wagon, it was offered in Japan under the name Corolla Fielder. The interior space of the tenth Corolla, as before, stood out for its strict minimalism, but with thoughtful ergonomics and higher quality finishing materials. Handling has become more predictable, and without compromising the smoothness of the ride. The main Corolla engine range for the Russian market included gasoline internal combustion engines with a volume of 1.4 and 1.6 liters (97-124 hp). Gearboxes are manual or robotic, and after restyling in 2010, a version with a 1.3 engine (101 hp) and a 4-speed automatic transmission appeared.

Eleventh generation E180, 2012-2019

The 11th generation Corolla was different from the previous model in all respects. Thus, the car received a new design concept, became a more stylish and presentable car - also due to its increased dimensions, because the body length for the first time exceeded 4.6 meters, and the wheelbase was 2700 mm. As a result of restyling in 2015, the shape of the head optics changed, and the quality of materials in the cabin improved and new multimedia options appeared. In addition, a new model of wheels has been added to the range, on which dirt does not stick. The manufacturer also installed improved foglights. Compared to the previous Corolla, the interior has become more solid due to unusual shapes and curves. In addition, the car has become more composed and stable on the road - handling and directional stability have improved. In Russia, the car was offered with gasoline engines of 1.3, 1.6 and 1.8 liters (99-140 hp), which were coupled with a manual transmission or CVT.

Manual transmission oil: volume – 2.3 liters with partial replacement

Twelfth generation E210, from 2018

The 12th generation Corolla is based on the TNGA modular architecture shared with the latest Prius. The car has a stylish design and resembles a smaller 2022 Camry. The dimensions of the car have remained virtually unchanged - length 4630 mm, width and height - 1780 and 1435 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase volume is 2700 mm, like its predecessor. The sedan is equipped with full LED headlights, which have become narrower. Between them is a chrome decorative trim, and even lower is a massive black radiator grille, occupying almost half of the front part. There are also a lot of changes in the interior: this includes the improved quality of materials and the image shape of the front panel, above which a multimedia display is now installed (previously it was built into the center console). In the chassis, the main change was the multi-link suspension, which replaced the semi-independent one. In addition, the stiffness of the shock absorbers has been changed to reduce body sway and improve ride smoothness. These improvements improve directional stability and make the car sharper in corners, especially compared to the Corolla E150.

How to change it yourself?

Changing the oil in an automatic transmission with removing the pan is a fairly simple operation that you can do yourself.

When performing work, it is necessary to take into account that machines for the European and Japanese markets are equipped with gearboxes that differ in design and crankcase volume.

On European Corollas 120 and 150, the gearbox design is simple, and the replacement process is therefore simple. And in the Toyota Spasio, which is a version of the Corolla 120 with right-hand drive, as well as the Toyota Fielder 121, all-wheel drive is installed. Therefore, when changing the oil in these cars, it is important not to confuse the transmission pan with a similar part of the transfer case.

Toyota Corolla X

The tenth generation Toyota Corolla was produced from 2006 to 2010 (restyling from 2010 to 2013) in E140 and E150 bodies, equipped with a 5 and 6-speed manual transmission, automatic or robotic gearbox, as well as a CVT.

The cars of the model range were equipped with gasoline and diesel engines with power ranging from 90 to 136 hp. Belong to a C-class car.

As for the manual transmission, 1.9 or 2.3 liters are poured here. transmissions, depending on the gear levels - 5 and 6, respectively.

You can also navigate by the installed engine.

The manufacturer recommends filling the gearbox with original transmission oils, for example:

But since original working fluids are expensive, analogues can be used - the main thing is to adhere to the correct specification. According to API, this is GL4 or GL5. According to SAE - 75W-90.

Here is an excerpt from the manual.

The 4-speed automatic transmission U340E, which is installed on cars in the E140/150 body, is filled with other brands of transmission oils. Here you need to focus on the ATF specification.

The manufacturer recommends filling the Toyota Corolla automatic transmission with original transmission oil ATF Type T-IV (for early models) or ATF WS (for later ones, red).

It is not recommended to mix these oils, so read the documentation for the machine before replacing the transmission.

As an analogue, you can use other oils, for example, Mobil ATF 3309, CASTROL Transmax or TOTAL FLUIDE XLD FE.

There are many similar oils for automatic transmissions on the market, so there is no point in listing them all, the main thing is that they fit the above specification (ATF), but it is still better to pour original oils.

Replacement can be made either partially or completely. In the first case, when the working fluid is not very dirty and the replacement is done manually, up to 4 liters may be needed. transmissions (at a standard of 8). With washing it will take a full 8.

In the second case, when the replacement takes place using a service device, you may need from 10 to 12 liters.

As for the Aisin K311 variator, which is installed on a car in the E150 body, Toyota CVT Fluid TC transmission fluid is poured here - according to article 08886-02105 (for warm climates) or Toyota CVT Fluid FE (for operation in low temperatures) in an amount of about 10 liters (you will need 3 cans of 4 liters each). TC oil is more viscous.

Robot

As for the oil in the Toyota Corolla X robot box, 1.9 or 2.4 (for a six-speed unit) liters of the original Genuine Manual Transmission Gear Oil LV is poured into it - article number 08885-81001. The same specifications are maintained here - according to API GL-4 and SAE 75.

Tools and materials

To change the oil you will need:

• oil - 4 liters for left-hand drive cars and 8 liters for right-hand drive cars;
• filter device;
• filter gasket;
• new drain plug gasket;
• stable, wide container with a volume of at least 5 liters for collecting used oil;
• a funnel with a thin spout or rubber hose for pouring new lubricant;

• a narrow wooden wedge for removing the pallet;
• approximately 1 liter of gasoline to clean the outside of the box tray;
• rags and gloves.

In the video shot by user Maxim Denisov, you can see how the oil is changed in a Toyota Corolla 120 automatic transmission.

Algorithm of actions

Before starting the procedure, the car must be warmed up to operating temperature and placed on a lift or inspection hole in the garage. The procedure for changing the oil in the gearbox of a 2008 Toyota Corolla is as follows:

1. You need to unscrew the drain plug and drain the oil from the pan.
2. After draining the main part of the liquid, it is necessary to loosen the 19 10 mm bolts securing the pan.
3. Then you should unscrew all the bolts, except for any two located oppositely.
4. You need to insert the tip of a wooden wedge into the gap between the pan and the crankcase and disconnect the parts from each other. It is important not to damage the sealing gasket.
5. Unscrew the last two bolts and carefully remove the pan, tilting it to the side to drain the remaining oil as much as possible.
6. After this, you need to unscrew the magnetic cover of the differential box and drain the lubricant from there.
7. Wash the pan and plugs with gasoline, paying special attention to the chip-collecting magnets installed on the pan body.
8. You need to unscrew the three 10 mm bolts securing the filter and replace the device. It must be remembered that it contains a certain amount of oil. The tightening of the filter bolts should be no more than 10 Nm.
9. Reassemble the box in reverse order. The pallet bolts must be tightened crosswise, ensuring an even fit of the parts. At the same time, they should not be overtightened (torque no more than 8 Nm), since the body and pan gasket are very easily deformed. The tightening torque for the drain plug is 49 Nm.
10. New oil must be poured through the hole for the dipstick in an amount of no more than 3.5 liters. In this case, it is necessary to check that there are no leaks through the plugs and the pan gasket. Then warm up the car and once again make sure there are no leaks.
11. On a warm box, it is necessary to move the gear selector to all positions, holding it in each position for about 10–20 seconds. The car does not move. Perform these steps three times.
12. Then you need to park the car on a level surface and measure the oil level, which should correspond to the level on the dipstick. Volume deviations up or down are unacceptable. If there is not enough oil, it must be added. In case of excess lubricant, it is convenient to use a regular medical syringe of maximum volume to drain it. You need to put a long tube on it, which should be lowered into the hole for the dipstick.

When changing the oil in the crankcase of a Toyota Corolla automatic transmission, a certain amount of old lubricant remains. Therefore, if the car has a long mileage, then after 1 thousand kilometers traveled after the replacement, you can additionally partially change the fluid. This procedure will increase the percentage of new oil in the box and will remove accumulated wear products that can settle in various places in the automatic transmission crankcase.

How to change the oil in a Toyota Corolla automatic transmission?

Whenever you change the oil in your Toyota Corolla , we are preventing premature wear on the gearbox and significantly improving the performance of the entire system. Change the oil promptly and without delay. The automatic transmission especially needs careful operation.

On Toyota Corolla cars, automatic transmissions with marks U340-341 are installed. They are very durable and almost unbreakable. On average, the first major repair of such boxes is carried out by a machine for more than 350 thousand km.

mileage. Change the oil

In an automatic transmission, Toyota Corolla recommends every 150 thousand kilometers. But, taking into account the operating conditions inherent in our country, it is more advisable to replace every 50-60 thousand km.

To change the lubricant, there is no need to go to a car service center. With the help of this article you can change the oil .

Tools and accessories

To change the fluid in a Toyota Corolla

, You need:

• funnel with a thin neck;
• gloves;
• set of keys and sockets;
• selected ATF fluid for the automatic transmission (preferably Toyota ATF Type T-IV or Toyota WS);
• filter and o-ring;
• gasoline or kerosene;
• wooden spatula.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the oil

1. Having everything you need to get the job done, you can start changing the oil in your robotic gearbox using your Toyota Corolla.
2. We warm up the Toyota Corolla car engine and we call for a flyover or pit to change the fluid. If possible, we use a lift.
3. We open the drain plug of the automatic transmission tray.
4. Unscrew the bolts securing the pallet using a wrench. The first two bolts are completely twisted, but the opposite pair is completely untwisted.
5. Carefully remove the pallet with a wooden spatula; it will not damage the gasket and will not mark the pallet.
   When it's hanging on two not fully unscrewed bolts, make sure the spacer stays on the box machine body or on the pallet itself.
6. Then, after removing the hot pan from the heat and unscrewing the remaining bolts, remove them completely using gloves. The pan contains hot oil, be extremely careful.
7. Remove the pan, unscrew the differential magnetic plug, and then pour out the remaining fluid.
8. The magnetic plug, magnets and the inner surface of the pan should be thoroughly washed with kerosene or gasoline. Then wipe the parts with a dry cloth to remove any remaining fuel.
9. Using gasoline or kerosene, wipe down the area to install the gasket and seal itself. If the pan gasket needs to be replaced, replace it.
10. After this, the filter and o-ring must be replaced.
11. Place the magnets back into place.
12. Now that you have completed replacing the constituent elements.
    It is necessary to assemble everything in the reverse order: tighten the magnetic plug, carefully place the pallet in place and tighten the bolts.
13. Replace the drain plug.
14. Now, through the inspection hole, fill hole or dipstick hole, fill in the appropriate oil.
    The liquid needs to be poured out a little less than drained. Then fill it out if necessary.
15. We start the Toyota Corolla and leave until the engine warms up to operating temperature.
16. While the engine is running, we move the automatic transmission
    one by one to the RND-2-L modes, and then in the reverse order. Pause about 10 seconds between positions. Do this three times.
17. Use a dipstick to check the lubricant level.
    It should reach the top of the dipstick sensor. Remember, when checking the oil level and filling it, the car must be strictly on a flat and only horizontal surface. If it happens that you have poured out too much oil, then you should reduce the level. Recover the oil using, for example, a syringe and a tube from a dropper. Buy this kit at any pharmacy.

Brief instructions on a complete oil

in an automatic transmission.

For a Toyota Corolla automatic transmission, excess oil level is a critical factor. This can cause automatic transmission components to malfunction and cause the fluid to foam or the vehicle to skid.

Toyota Corolla automatic transmission in a garage. The entire process may take about two hours the first time.

Because you need to stock up on a little attention and confidence, and then success awaits you.

Remember that performing an automatic oil change on an automatic transmission is not an easy task. It is better to trust it to an experienced professional with special equipment.

Algorithm of actions when changing the oil in right-hand drive cars

Right-hand drive Toyota Corolla Fielder and Spasio cars are equipped with a separate radiator for cooling the lubricant. When changing the oil in the sump, the liquid from the radiator is not drained, since there are special valves in the pipeline design. Since the volume of lubricant in the radiator is comparable to the amount in the pan, it must be drained and replaced with a new one. This procedure will require the help of one more person.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. Remove the oil drain hose from the radiator, extend it to a length that allows it to be brought into the engine compartment.
2. The free end of the hose must be placed in an empty container with a volume of at least 4 liters.
3. After this, the assistant must start the engine.
4. Used lubricant will begin to flow out of the hose; at the same time, fresh oil must be poured into the hole for the dipstick.
5. At the end of the procedure, almost 4 liters of liquid will come out of the radiator, and the same amount should be poured into the crankcase.

The amount of fluid when filling is controlled by marks on the dipstick in a warm box and with the engine running. In the photo you can see the moments of changing the oil in the gearbox of a Toyota car.

Price issue

The cost of changing the oil yourself depends on the type of vehicle transmission, type of consumables and point of sale. Automatic transmission oil will cost the buyer about 3,100 rubles. - original and approximately 1500 rubles.

- analogue. An automatic transmission filter is priced from 400 rubles. for the simplest analogue up to 2800 rubles.

for the original part. The cost of installing a drain plug is 50 rubles. A filter gasket costs 120 rubles.

Toyota Corolla Spasio and Fielder cars require 8 liters of oil to change, which increases the cost of the procedure from 3,570 to 9,050 rubles. A pan gasket damaged during the procedure can add about another 500 rubles to this amount. But in any case, the cost of purchasing consumables will be lower than the cost of repairing a failed automatic transmission.

Consequences of untimely replacement

Aged oil has a negative effect on automatic transmission components. Moreover, each problem becomes the cause of another, more critical and requiring expensive repairs. Below is an approximate algorithm for complete failure of the gearbox in case of untimely replacement of transmission oil:

• the first thing the owner will encounter is shocks and jerks when switching;
• then the hydraulic accumulators in the box fail;
• after this, burning and chipping of the friction clutches begins;
• an increasing number of mechanical impurities completely clog the filter and it stops performing its functions;
• Because of this, mechanical particles get into the bearings and valves of the valve body, which leads to emergency operating modes of the automatic transmission and complete immobilization of the vehicle.
