I have a question please, my car uses cvt fe for Toyota I mixed with 1ltr swag cvt is it advisable

 

I do not know what "swag" is, so I cannot comment on it or recommend it, nor do I recommend mixing anything to save a buck when it comes to the most expensive component part on your Corolla. If your 24mm fill plus has the letters "FE" printed on it then you really should use either Toyota's brand FE fluid, or what came in the transmission from the factory.
What came from the factory can be obtained at a lower cost than that of the factory marked-up brand. Here is a link to the original OEM that came in your transmission, if you have the FE CVT transmission. IT IS CALLED AISIN AND IT'S PART NUMBER IS AS FOLLOWS: part # ATF-TFE. BELOW ARE TWO PICTURES OF THE PRODUCT. NOTE: I DO NOT WORK FOR, NOR DO I REPRESENT THIS COMPANY IN ANY WAY. YOU CAN PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT WAY LESS EXPENSIVELY BY GOING TO THIS WEBSITE. HERE IS THE LINK ---> AISIN CVT FLUID FE

IN CASE THE LINK DOES NOT WORK, THE WEBSITE IS www.stockwiseauto.com

Lastly, if you must, you can use a substitute, as long as it says "FE" -- it cannot say "WS"

Good luck on your journey.

WHAT YEAR IS YOUR COROLLA? YEARS BEFORE 2014 HAD REGULAR TRANSMISSIONS. IF YOUR COROLLA IS GENERATION 11, THAT IS, IF IT'S MADE FROM 2014 - 2019 IT IS A GEN 11 COROLLA AND REQUIRES "FE" TYPE CVT TRANSMISSION FLUID ONLY. To replace your transmission could be between $4,000 - $7,000 to replace. The choice is yours.
I am afraid the cheapest way out for you would be to buy the best aftermarket cvt FE fluid you can and perform multiple drain and fills (USING Valvolinee CVT FE #804751 quart) or have a dealership remove the pan and do a complete refill and filter change.

NOTE: THE ONLY CORRECT WAY FOR YOU TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM IS TO HAVE THE PAN DROPPED AND HAVE AS MUCH OF THE 8+ QUARTS IT HAS IN IT. IF YOU DON'T, YOU'RE CHANCING YOUR TRANSMISSION TO LUCK.

When I comes to CVT Trans vehicles I am a big proponent of 2 things.
1. Installing an external CVT fluid cooler to help keep the fluid cool, Something simple and inexpensive like this for example does well.
2. Regular frequent fluid drain and fills.
Even with toyota, just because I like to cover the bases, but Toyota does make a far superior CVT, they do not really fail often like Nissan. But CVT is CVT, they run hot and dirty.

Now if you have a Nissan with a CVT, I would suggest the 2 things above as mandatory if you plan on keeping the vehicle past 65K.

 

¿Pudiste adaptar el enfriador al Corolla?

 

Valvoline CVT for 2008 Toyota Vitz SCP90, bought vehicle in 2017, fluid was black and filthy and cleared up after 3 drain and fills within a month apart. Did a 4th drain and fill in 2019 and another one last month in March 2024. There's sump plug and a straw that uses a #6 hex wrench to remove, 7 ft/lbs to tighten straw, and 24mm fill port on the side of the transmission. Reinstall straw and start filling transmission case till straw overflows, jack car 1st and leveled, run the transmission gears P R N D 2 B, 5 times then fill transmission case with CVT till it overflows again, reinstall sump plug, and add 100ml of additonal CVT fluid, and thats that. Transmission 24mm fill port bolt should say FE or TC, these are designated for CVT fluids, while WS is World Standard Toyota Transmission fluid but Valvoline Max LIfe ATF should be alright. 7 years running like a champ, hope this helps.

 

¡Hola! De casualidad ¿alguien ha aplicado el ATF MAXLIFE de VALVOLINE 773775 a un Corolla 2015, transmisión k313?
Lo pregunto ya que, el aceite que recomienda la TOYOTA es especificación CVT-FE y el VALVOLINE cumple dicha especificación. Me contacte directo a la VALVOLINE para solicitar más información al respecto, el cual me dijeron que:
“El ATF MAXLIFE es un fluido de transmisión automática que también está formulado para cumplir con las especificaciones de transmisión variable continua (CVT), incluyendo la especificación CVT FE. Aunque en la presentación diga "ATF PARA TRANSMISIÓN AUTOMÁTICA", si el producto especifica que es compatible con CVT FE, entonces es seguro de usar en tu Toyota Corolla 2015 con transmisión CVT. Sin embargo, siempre es una buena idea verificar en el manual de tu vehículo o consultar con un mecánico de confianza para asegurarte de que estás utilizando el fluido correcto”.
Por lo tanto, verifique el manual y el tapón de llenado e indica FE, sin embargo, tengo dudas.
Estoy anuente a su respuesta, gracias.

hola hermano yo tengo el mismo carro que usted ,encontro algun aceite similar o uso el valvoline 876133 ,se lo agradeceria que aceite uso gracias desde el estado de NEVADA USA.

 

Can you get the AISIN fluid shown in post #3 above?? (AISIN makes the CVT transmission)
I would use that before using a generic fluid, even from a well known company

 

Qué tal, hermano. Realizando consultas a diferentes marcas, LUBRICANTES TOTAL me confirman que el FLUIDMATIC CVT MV #3425901110080 tambien cumple con las especificaciones que requiere el Toyota Corolla. La verdad es que no lo llegué a utilizar, ya que cuando TOTAL me respondió el correo, ya había cambiado el aceite. Saludos desde Panamá. FICHA TÉCNICA

 

La duda que aún no me queda clara es que la agencia de Toyota en Panamá indica realizar el cambio de aceite tipo diálisis.

¿Saben algo con respecto a eso?

 

Someone has a cooler adapter, in one of the transmission threads.
They take off the cooler and put on the adapter, then they can run a fluid replacement machine.
Put the cooler back on, get the filled level correct and off you go.

 

At less than $9 a quart from Rockauto for the Aisin fluid, there seems little reason to purchase the dealer fluid or any aftermarket fluids. This is what's in my daughter's '19. Zero issues.

 

Buen dato RichBinAz.

Buscando encontré un adaptador como mencionamos, pero ¿es algo seguro?

 

Que tan cierto será este proceso?

The adapters look similar.
Need to plug the coolant lines while running the engine.

 

I just did a fluid and filter change with the same valvoline cvt fluid that says it’s for FE Toyota transmissions, but the color is yellow and not the OEM Toyota red color. Is it just a dye that makes it red or did I put in the wrong fluid?

 

I can't answer whether it's the "wrong" fluid. If I had to gamble I would say you'll probably be fine. That said...Aisin OEM fluid is cheap, around $8 a quart. As I mentioned in a previous post, there really isn't a reason to use an aftermarket fluid when Rockauto stocks the correct fluid and ships quickly.

On a side note...I'm not opposed to using aftermarket fluids for some applications and I have done so many times over the years. But one thing I always stick to is the OEM color. For example, in many of our older Toyotas I have used Valvoline Maxlife ATF as a substitute for WS and Valvoline Zerex Pink coolant as a substitute for SLLC. Both are excellent products and match the OEM fluid colors.

 

The Valvoline does not have FE on the bottle...

 

 

Yes, you can. Sorry for the late reply. Search for it on ROCKAUTO.COM They have it for just under $9.00/qt. If you are doing the drain and fill yourself, I recommend getting 3-quarts minimum, just to have about a half quart left over -- just in case of spills, etc.
