It's an easy drain and refill for your P610 Power Split Device (Electronic CVT). Total capacity is 3.8 US quarts (3.6 liters) of Toyota's low-viscosity ATF WS... It does not require any fancy or specific fluid as its purpose is for lubricating and cooling only, of the planetary and differential gears and bearings, and both electric motors/generators. I've replaced the fluid twice in a Lexus CT200h with ACDelco Dexron-VI ATF instead.

 

It'll look a lot like this after you remove the big plastic splash panel underneath. Many plastic push pins to release and remove, and a few bolts in front... Many like using a pump on the quarts of fluid, but that's with the car jacked up level.

You just need to jack up front end, remove fill plug, then the drain plug. Let it drain thoroughly, then reinstall drain plug. Route a hose on funnel from above engine, into fill port. Drop front of car back down. Add ATF until it starts dripping out with car parked level. Jack up front of car, reinstall fill plug and splash guard.

I am impressed I was thinking to have my Camry hybrid done by dealer and I was given a quote around $350 I am thinking to do it myself but I am quite nervous. My most worry is that I won't be able to drain them all out and then there will be a mixture between new fluid and old one. The dealer they have the equipment to flush all the old one out before they refill it.

 

Start by refilling with 3.5 liters (3.7 US quarts) before looking for some dripping out of fill port as you top it off... In Canada, your best bet is ACDelco Dexron-VI for about $6 per quart from your local GMC/Chevrolet/Buick/Cadillac dealer.

Why not use REDLINE SYNTHETIC FLUID? I know it costs the most $$$ but doesn't it have superior specs over all others including the Toyota factory fill?🤔

 

Thanks a lot for that. I saw the guy (Toyota master technician he claimed) did on youtube, he was going through the process of checking the temperature after refilling which I found quite complicated, I was wondering if you did the same thing? Thanks.

 

You mentioned a Camry Hybrid which has a Power Split Device (Electronic CVT).

 

Any ideas wher the drain and fill plugs are on a 2021 Hatchback CVT transmission? Don't see the same plugs as seen here in the pictures.

 

Picture is of a Hybrid's eCVT Power Split Device... Here is your CVT drain plug location. Fill plug is probably up on the driver's side, if not in front:

Yes, I found the drain plug but I can't find the fill plug.

 

If you can't see it on the sides it's probably gonna be on top .

 

😁🤢🤮

 

Great replies on this subject! Now my question is on a 2022 Corolla cross AWD, is their a dipstick or a way to check and see how full or low the trans fluid is? I don't see one, thanks.

 

No dipstick. You have to know what you're doing. There are many walk throughs available as it's not something you can just casually describe other than saying measure what you take out and put that much back in to some degree.

 

Thank you! so much to learn on these new vehicles, I can see that my old way of doing things is down the drain! lol!
