What type of Transmission fluid in 2004 Toyota Camry?

Answer 1

My 2004 five speed with the V6 uses Toyota Type IV. Mobil calls it 3309. Some parts houses carry a Castrol product that will work. You can do a good job of "flushing" your AT by draining transmission sump[oil hot] and then replacing like amount through the transmission dip stick holder. I measured 4.5 quarts. Run the new fluid a few miles,days,weeks or whatever and repeat procedure about three or four times. You will never get all the old fluid out as the torque converter cannot be drained. The procedure described duplicates what a flushing machine will do.About $80 to $90 to do it yourself. About $200 at a dealer.Transmission drain plug torques to 36 ft.lbs. Use a new 18mm gasket.As for pulling the transmission pan and replacing the filter-my Toyota dealer doesn't include this in the cost of "flushing" the transmission and in fact does not even carry the sump filter.
