Any idea what tranny and diff fluid for a 2001 V6 Camry, Aotomatic , is Dextron lll the right one for both ?.

DEX III or the new DEX VI.

Dexron III

the differential and transmission are shared, no need to do separate drain and fills.

i believe its 3.75 quarts for a complete drain and fill, so about 4 quarts needs to be purchased.

Are you sure? It's not shared on my '92 4 cyl.

I wouldn't be surprised. On my gen of Corollas, the 3-spd auto will have separate tranny/diff fluid whereas the they're shared in 4-spd auto.

Find your owners manual and take info from there as canon.

i'm certain...gen 2 and gen 3 were separate but gen 4 is together. i would know...i own the car and a haynes manual.

I've got a gen 4 i4 and a Haynes manual and mine are seperate...

Her's a pic from my Haynes.

Do you know what size the Hex socket is to pull the drain plugs?

audionut71 · 08-12-2007, 08:15 AM

I think its a 10mm hex, but do a search it is on here a bunch of times.

nodrogkam · 08-12-2007, 09:08 AM

you're separate because you're an I4....go look on the gen4 v6 part of the haynes and u wont find that.

cool-vibes has stated he has a v6.

another thing is the power steering also uses Dexron III in this model.

audionut71 · 08-12-2007, 09:25 AM

My bad... it was early, eye boogers to blame.

cool-vibes · 08-12-2007, 08:11 PM

thanks for help .

***Eye8Pussies*** · 08-12-2007, 09:11 PM

yup- even though there are different drain and fills for the differential and the tranny on the v6, the design of the transmission is that they actually share the same fluid anyway

in the 4banger though, the diff and the rest of the tranny actually are entirely separate units though, so the differential fluid must be changed

Curious, what about in an i4 gen 3 Manual car? How do u change it in there? Is it shared? (I have never owned a manual car before and DONT even know how to check it)
