Why is there no transmission fluid on dipstick?
Automatic transmissions which use World Standard (WS) fluid are sealed and do not consume fluid. This eliminates the need for periodic fluid checking using a dipstick.
How do I know if my transmission fluid needs dipstick?
Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, replace it slowly, and then pull it back out. Check the fluid level—how high the fluid comes up on the dipstick—against the “full” and “low” or “fill” marks on the dipstick. The color of transmission fluid can tell you a lot about the health of your car’s transmission.
Where is the dipstick on a Toyota Camry?
Click to expand… Ideally, the WS, World Standard fluid for the new generation of Toyota transmissions do not have to be changed; however, it is entirely up to the owner to decide. There is indeed no dipstick for the 2007 trans, but there is a drain plug and a overflow plug on the pan, and a filler plug behind the left splash shield.
What kind of ATF do I need for my Toyota Camry?
Synthetic ATF, such as Mobil or the new General Motors Dexron VI Synthetic Blend ATF, will extend the drain-and-fill interval beyond 30,000 miles and may extend the life of your transmission. 1990 to 2001 Camrys require Dexron III. The Dexron VI is backward compatible to Dexron III and will not harm your transmission.
Is the transmission fluid in a Toyota Camry Dirty?
Probably should have, but before you go about flogging yourself, take a look at it, knock the sand out, and hold it to a strong light to see how dirty it is. You might be surprised that it isn’t as dirty as you think.
What kind of fluid does a Camry I-4 use?
Just change my 2008 Camry I-4 transmission fluid at 60,000 with WS fluid. The fluid is discolored unlike when it was new. I know that color doesn’t tell the whole story but I wish I had changed it sooner and not as written on the owners manual.
