Hey Vinnie , I found your channel by accident . I’ll never forget you were always the level headed guy on OCC !! You continued to work through all the Chaos in that toxic environment . Your a good guy and well respected.
You will under-fill it if you open up the drain (with orange pipe installed) if the transmission is anything hotter than just barely warm. ...... You are supposed to run the car, and get the TFT (tranny fluid temperature) on the OBD scan tool to read between 104F to 113F when you are letting excess fluid spill down the installed vertical orange pipe here. Also, make sure you shift into D and R a couple of times while it's running to get fluid into all the circuits. The required range of 104F to 113F is barely warm for a tranny. ..... Notice that full hot operating temperature (150F to 190F or so) is TOO HOT for the orange pipe, so if you do that you under-fill the thing.
You are right, it more complicated that what is shown in this video.
Remove the fill plug first. Just in case you can't get it off.
Blah
Agree. You are screwed after you drain and find that you can't remove that 24 mm.
Smart tip; thanks!
Us Technicians have to get everything off . You just end up making more money.

From the UK here, it is that easy & i'm no mechanic by far. I got a 2015 1.3L Yaris CVT with 88,000m 2 yrs ago (I assumed it was never done) I did a drain & re-fill 2x in 2 weeks. Rather than taking the plastic cover off by the inner wheel arch i used a 24mm spanner from top of engine bay,used a garden hose pipe & a funnel to pour in the fluid like in your movies about college kids at a party,them going "Chug,chug,chug", there is room there for me. The fluid i used was the proper Toyota FE,cost £58 for 5L bottle & that's why i did 2x drain n refill....each drain was 2.2L. It drives smooth as silk 2yrs later.
Drain and fill for life. Been with Toyota over a decade. Put in what you take out every time
He makes it looks very simple. Others make it more complicated
When Vinnie left OCC, it was a huge loss in my opinion. Superb all around mechanic, diagnostics guy & fabricator. Salute to you Vinnie.
He showed up in my feed. Thank you for saying that, was driving me mad. I know this guy! Where have I seen him before 😂😂
SOB Was it this guy I somewhat know brother? No. Hmm gotta be the guy from the shop from the town over. No hmm Lmao I know the face and voice but couldn’t figure where. 🤯
Oh man, thank you! I'm sittin here like, where do I know this guys from? Did I work with him a long time ago?! Freakin Vinnie from OCC!!! Unreal. Talk about a blast from the past! 😅
Vin, I don’t know if you’re reading this. But my guy, thank you so very much for taking the time to make an easily understandable video and to show us step-by-step!! That’s invaluable my brother! Thank you so much for your time
Makes it look way easier then it is but that’s what years of experience does
My Pleasure my friend
@@dimartinoindustries6026 click! lol...right on point my brother
Those Words Of DiMartino Wisdom WITH a sip of coffee afterwards are Priceless AND Comical too! Great share Vinnie. No surprise you helping your daughter with her car and in the process teach her and your other children the Number One Rule of Ownership....Take Care Of What You Have AND It Will Take Care Of You! We should ALL be so lucky to have a Friend or neighbor like yourself Vinnie! Cheers From Ohio to You Vinnie and Your Fan Base in here!
I'm almost certain that you need to measure the fluid to a trickle within a specific temperature (105F-115F) to make sure that you don't take out too much when the oil expands. This transmission typically drains 2.5qt of fluid from the pan. Also, that tube you pulled out is not for show-and-tell. It's part of the official procedure to check the transmission fluid level when the temperature is between the specific range. Car Care Nut does a very good job at explaining in detail how to drain and fill this same exact transmission with the 2ARFE engine on a 2016 Toyota Camry. I recommend anyone to also take the time to watch his video before moving forward with the maintainence.
"How to change your Toyota Sealed transmission" by Car Care Nut
105 to 115 is the right temperature to check it at.
I don't know what you mean by "show-and-tell" - you don't remove much fluid unless the overflow tube is removed, and it's essential to remove it if you're dropping the pan to replace the filter.
@@atticstattic Vinny says the only purpose of that tube is to indicate where the fluid sits while the car is at operating temperature, so he's basically telling us that the tube is useless to the procedure, right? Showing us the tube and telling us that it serves no real purpose in the demonstration. The tube has a purpose. You need to make sure that after draining by removing both plug and plastic tube with a 6mm hex drive, put both back on, add about 3 quarts back into the transmission, and either use a temp gun (in a very specific area of the transmission pan) OBD2 scanner or the official Toyota procedure to find the temperature range that many have already said. Please refer to an actual Toyota technician for a deeper analysis on changing the transmission fluid in a sealed case. I own a 2ARFE engine and do all of my own maintainence with the guidance of Car Care Nut. It's not rocket science, and I would appreciate it if you didn't respond to this comment because I'm not here to educate or debate you on this.
@@junglejuice23 You agreed with me in your original comment and now you're _disagreeing_ !? Reading comprehension is essential- work on it.
I would add onto the advice Vinnie gave by strongly suggesting that you FIRST crack (but there is no need to fully open) the fill plug BEFORE you open the drain plug and drop the old fluid. If that fill plug is seized there is no point in draining the old fluid if you cannot fill with new - you shouldn't drive the car with no fluid. Now Vinnie stated he did this exact service earlier so he knows that the fill opens and he is the one who torqued that fill plug the last time. For others - possibly doing this service for the first time - crack the fill first as it could be torqued from the factory or torqued by some newbie mechanic or Quick Change tech. It might save you a tow to a shop with a lift and possibly specialized tools to extract the seized fill plug.
you can use an impact wrench to get it off, but hand tight to put it back on.
Vinny, I had no idea you had a KZhead channel. You were one of my favorite people in OCC. I am about to do my wife's trans fluid. Thank you so much for making this video and for you time!!
Just stumbled onto you Vin!! you were always hands down,, THE best favorite on OCC. I knew you opened a shop. You seem so at ease doing your own thing brother! I'll go sub for you now! I plan on flushing my Sienna this summer.AWD just turned 70K. Never ever towed anything.
It’s cool to see I’m not the only one who’s not scared to get in there and make it happen. Also cool to see you again. And I whole heartedly agree about Toyota. That’s all I’ve driven for years. I have a 2006 scion XB with 327k
Glad I found your channel, after watching you for years on tv you and Rick were always my favorite and really glad to see that you are happy and doing well. Best of luck to you and your family you deserve it? Thank you for sharing Vinnie. 😎🏍🏎 Dave L. From Massachusetts.
Woah! We need more of these type videos Vinnie! Man.. how time flies! Remember when you were in that toxic work place on TV. Lol
Thanks for this video. this video gave me the confidence to do the transmission fluid change myself. there are other videos out there, which show you a complicated procedure getting the transmission in the right temperature range (with a very small margin of a couple of degrees). I can't imagine that with a manual that explains about self-service so much that this is really so complicated. Anyway, I did it, and my transmission is more 'alive' now, shifts back quicker and smoother. it was necessary despite it has only 30.000miles on the odometer after 6 years. greetings from Europe with an american imported 2017 Toyota Sienna (8 speed)
I never knew Vinnie was so naturally funny!!! Great video. He knows his stuff.
Great video.... tells you exactly what you need to know. Just did my 2017 Sienna. 3 quarts out, 3 quarts back in.
Hello Vinnie from North Carolina. It's great to see you doing what makes you happy in life working a job you actually enjoy instead of one you've got to do with little choice. Thanks for the tip on changing the tranny fluid. My Dad was a mechanic from the time he got out of WW2 until he sold his Texaco full service gas station and I learned a lot from him but with these new cars that knowledge don't do me much good unless I'm working on a car that's a "classic" like me. Lol...if I lived up where you do I would definintly take my cars and trucks to you because I feel like I can trust you and I don't even know you. I've got a '96 Chevy S-10 LS that has the 4.3 Ltr V6 in it and the motor don't burn a drop off oil and its for 203,000 miles on it. My fuel pump went out and a guy was gonna charge me almost $900 to put a $100 fuel pump in so I said not just no but hell no! I've been told many ways to fix it but I'm thinking because I have no lift, no forklift for the tank because it's full of old gas that I don't want in my motor, so my idea was to unhook the gas line near the chassis, tap the old pump to get it working long enough to pump out the old gas in the tank, then take the bed bolts out, lift the bed up just enough to get the fuel pump out and install the new one, then simply hook it all back up and bolt the bed back down. I pray this will work because I'm about to start on my truck since we're having warmer weather now. I know you can't answer everyone's comments Vinnie but what are your thoughts on changing out a fuel pump and filter in a '96 Chevy S-10? Keep in mind I have no lift or forklift to take the full tank out and even if I emptied it I'm not sure I could get those bolts loose holding the straps for the gas tank. Thanks Vinnie and keep making these videos my friend, I subscribed a while ago as soon as I saw your first video. May God bless you and your loved ones and always watch over you and keep you safe from all harm!!! ✝️❤🙏🇺🇲 WWG1WGA!
Thanks for the clear and well explained instructions. Love your torque wrench click !
I do this the identical way you do, I just did an A/T service on a 2016 Es350 the other day at my shop and I have the exact same filler as you minus the valve stem, the extension hose & the 90º end, sure be nice to have those! nice video.
Can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I first watched you and jr building custom bikes.
Nice work Vin. Good to see you doing something you love and being your own boss.
Vin looks great....notice how direct and to the point of the matter he is with exactly the correct info . OCC wuda been nothing without him
awesome video Vinnie! Getting ready to change the trans fluid on my 2019 Camry with 80k on it. The dealership wanted $700 for the fluid change. I'm mechanically inclined so, no way am I paying that for fluid changing. Love how you keep it real and straight forward.
About to do my wife RX with 88k. Debating whether to change the filter too?
Yeah, my dealer quoted me $600. No thanks. $55 for 4 quarts of Toyota WS, and I did it myself.
I agree with that comment for sure
Good to see you in a calmer situation.
Yupz this is where we want Vinnie! 🌹♥️⭐😄 Keep making content, i wish there was more from the old OCC crew.
vinnie great to see you on utube! since the occ days, great work! god bless
Holy shit! Vin! It's fantastic seeing you here on you tube! I watched you growing up and have wondered where your journey has taken you. I'll be tuning in often most definitely!!! Happy to see you Vin
Hey Vinnie, great to see you again. Stumbled across this by accident. Nice to see your calm demeanor outside of that old toxic environment. Stay in it man.
Just ran across this randomly and it’s great to Vinnie again. Subscribed!
I been a tech for 11 years. Your honesty is extremely admirable. Hard to find tech like us anymore.. 💯
What type of technician are you? Im pretty sure there are 100's of thousands like you
Had me nervous for a sec lol. I've been adding fluid 1st with dipstick plug in it, then turn vehicle on and raise it back up then fill it again when the trans is at running temperature. But I think I'll be doing it ur way now, it is just as efficient and faster too. Ur a great mechanic brother Vin 👍
Imagine, your father or other family member is a mechanic (& one you know won’t cut corners) & treats your car, the way he’d treat his! But Vic, even though we’re not related… I wish you were my mechanic. Liability, honesty & quality etc., generally aren’t words you can use for the average mechanic
I love what you do for us. No one else tells it so honest and with confidence.
You are so right! My dad was a mechanic. Many a time he had to convince customers to flush trans fluid. Sometimes he would spend 30 minutes or so to convince people.
This was great! I’d bet you would have an immensely popular series of DIY car maintenance. There’s a lot of guys like me who just never got into or had the time to be handy around cars, I’d love to be able to do more on my own. Take care!
and so many cars have NO drain plug. So it's off with the pan and putting a new gasket,magnet and filter in. That is not so easy. However, if you had that done a while back, now you can buy a pump and stick the hose down the dip stick and suck it out.
Well wow, Finally You Tube recommended an excellent content Chanel instead of the usual TikTok junk. Great to see you Vinnie, dam a little time has slipped by since watching OCC. Love this kind of content Subscribed and liked right away. Keep the videos coming, don’t ever think they won’t want to see this or that, if it involves using tools it is worth watching. I can see you smashing that 100K button soon, no problem.
I'm from the UK,i learned from guys like this on youtube & did a few jobs on my cars over the years...saved so much! I just invested in some tools & carry them in a laptop bag. I did this job myself, i panicked but followed this & other vids,nothing to worry about.
Good to see you vinnie getting it done.
Thanks my man. Very helpful. About to change my 2011 Sienna transmission fluid. Maintenance place wanted $380.
Vinnie, did you know you had a fan base in NICARAGUA?, Wooow! I found you channel out of luck! So happy to see you're doing good I remember you use to be the guy to fix or complete the repairs when everyone else was done and gone The great Guy everyone should have learned from!
I’m sure Vin is happier doing this stuff than the BS he had to put up with on the show, but I sure miss him and Paul Jr doing some of the most creative entertaining shit on television.
OCC is the best thing that ever happened to Vin.
Robert Fernandez Are you guys buddies?
OCC pauls were all fake, just acting
@@stoweman34 No, but who would care about what he is doing if he hadn’t worked at OCC.
Way Happer!!!
I have that exact same filling tool and will definitely be copying your cheat! Brilliant 👍
Hey Vin missed your input good to see here, good content I'll be watching every post. 👍
I’m glad to find your channel, really enjoyed you and Rick on the show, I stopped by your shop a few years back, but unfortunately you weren’t there at that time, would have liked to say hi. To bad your shop is on the other side of the state from us, I am a muscle car fanatic, and as I recall, you have an interest in the older muscle cars. I have one left, a 1972 W-30 442, that I ordered new in 72. If we ever travel to your corner of the state again, I will try to say hi again. Be safe.
Nice job Vin 👏 👍. Correct procedure given....must watch to the end.
Vinnie you seem like a genuine guy.
I remember when you worked for the teutals' OCC.. Great to see you doing good these days 👍
Vinnie good to see you in action again.
Thanks Vinnie, it’s good to see you man. I’m subbing right now.
ALWAYS did like your explanation of things Vinnie….👍👍
It’s like being ten again watching these videos. Lol Nice to see you back!
Wow Vinnie you look a lot different, healthier and happy since the last time I saw you on TV. I said to myself I know that voice and then I saw your name tag. Looking great Vin and stay safe and healthy.
Good to have these to show and for some one to listen too.
I had a twin turbo bmw as my daily, it sits in the driveway now. I bought an 02 Toyota Highlander with 160k miles and it runs smooth as butter.
That guy right is Orange County chopper and is one hell of a mechanic Thank you Vinnie
Vinnie good to see you bro always nice to have your knowledge passdownn to us since west coast choppers
Damn, So cool to find Vinnie! I was trying to find out how to check and fill the transmission .n my friends Camry. You answered my questions. Thanks for the video and I just subbed you, I hope life is good for you post the OCC stuff.
Wassup Vinnie, good seeing you keeping busy. Great work
Great Video Vin, learn something new everyday. (Unrelated) I had a funny thought today. Remember the episode of American Chopper when you were hitting Jr. with spit balls through the glass and he had no idea where it was coming from? 😂 I thought about today watching KZhead and I still laugh my ass of over it. That was one of the best episodes, thanks for the great memories. Hope all is well with your endeavors.
Nice to see you back Vinnie
GREAT idea on the valve stem in the pump
Love this guy spirit ! He’s funny as heck
Glad to see your video, looking forward to seeing more
Nice video Vinnie. Wish I lived closer to your shop I would bring all my cars to you
Vinnie mechanic that is honest great video man so nice to able to still be connected keep videos coming when it works hope you and your family all well 🙏
Good job. Easy to follow and concise.
Thank you for the great Vlog. From all your fans up in Beautiful Vancouver British Columbia Canada. 👍😎
Miss you Vin! Always my favorite!
Good to see you doing your own thing. Thanks for the video.
THanks for the video. I"ve looked at a couple of other KZheads on this procedure and apparently there is a proper tranny oil temp involved in order to get the right amount of fluid back in the pan (109 - 113 degrees). If you run the vehicle up to operating temp, the temp will be alot higher and you'll have a higher amount of fluid in the pan, and potentially drain off too much.
Hey!! Good to see you kid!!! Glad to see you still wrenching. I do agree and is good practice that I learned from my Pops is when you buy a used car or bike just drain all the fluids and pay close attention to the tranny. My daughter just bought her first car and is a 2009 Toyota Prius. First thing was to drain the enginge oil and tranny fluid....made a pump for the tranny and flush it out and 5k miles later, flush it out again. Now it nice and clean... Good to see you are doing well. Be good and all the best!!!!😁
Vinnie, I wondered what you been up to after american chopper, it's good seeing you again, keep up the good work.
I like using the cooler lines to get all the fluid out. Pump out 5 quarts from the cooler lines, put 5 quarts in. Repeat 2 to 3 times and youve got fresh fluid throughout the whole trans and torque converter
Good video....only thing I do different is make sure the fill plug breaks loose first. I have used aftermarket on my Tundra though...Amsoil ATF because of so many good reviews.
Good to see you again Vinnie
Great information! Thanks for sharing
Me too, good to see you Piasan. Don, CA. 2-26-2024.
Vinny , Good to see you doing your own thing after the OCC bs.
Im gonna have to make an oil/ air equipped like that !! Works perfect
I like the way you explane how to do drain n refill transfluid on a Toyota Camry no dipstick watching you from Los Angeles you have a good day master techI
Thank you for the information. Well done 🙏🙏👏🏻
Love you Vinnie! I miss watching OCC like crazy. OCC was my favorite show, but I can understand why you and Paulie left. I would have left too! There was a mechanic in Lexington, Kentucky named Steve DiMartino that was really good with cars. Not sure if he is a relative of yours, as Steve was also from New York state. I just changed the transmission fluid on my 2011 Camry with 127,000 miles. I use a clear Rubbermaid pitcher and just mark the level I took out with a Sharpie marker. That way I know exactly how much to put back in.
I thought this was the person from OCC, how neat. Thanks Vinnie.
Vinnie seems like he'd be a cool guy to work with...or for.
I'll shadow dancing to you too, Vinnie! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for posting Vinnie
Vinnie - wow. Looking good. Great to see you again. Took me a minute - "where have I seen the guy?" Glad I found you.
Regarding filing up the transmission with the fill plug, You can tell if it's full by it leaking out of the fill plug correct??? That way you don't have to measure how much fluid you drained right???
No idea about cars and how they work internally or external but in Vince I trust!
Nice video, very professional content. Thanks Wade Out..
Ayo, Vinnie good video. Im the same way. Change the ATF like every 10-15k because it’s so easy. Bought the car new in 2014, it’s got 200k and runs perfect.
Oh God I'm glad i come across your channel Vinnie
Are you Vince good to see you again I did not know you had our own personal channel glad to see you once again I’m going to continue watching your channel because I love seeing you on American chopper are the best to you
Vinny you are doing a good job keep it up
Hey Ven didn't know you had a channel and when I seen it I just had to watch because I knew it would be informative and must be my lucky day because I have a Dodge Caliber with no dipstick and they're bad about overheating in summer and I been worrying bout getting it changed. I had a mechanic but died from COVID and he really was a good one and honest one too. He told me he wouldn't fool with changing the fluid because there wasn't anyway for him to know exactly how much came out and was afraid wrong amount may do damage. At the beginning of your video you were talking about knowing how much to put back in and then after your fluid had stopped draining into the mop bucket you said ahh that's about 2 and half maybe 3 quarts and then when you went to check the dipstick after you filled it and as you were waiting on that little bit to drain you said this why I just go ahead and over fill it some to make up for this. Once again it seems that exact amounts aren't that important just as long as you don't over fill it or under fill it.??? Seemed like a pretty easy job but I'm wondering how much is not overfilling and how much is under filling. Didn't mean to write a book on the subject but just need to know. Sure am glad I stumbled on to your channel. I had just watched a documentary last week on what happened to the characters from Orange county choppers.
Your temperature advice is spot on....but it doesn`t take long to hit the check temp. I just slip on my bluetooth OBD sender and watch the temp rise while on the rack and as soon as the temp is hit cap it all off. 290K on a 2010 Camry. Only things replaced so far has been brake pads at 210k (autostick saves brake wear), drivers side rear wheel bearing at 50k (freak), tires, fluids, and a clockspring because of my own stupidity. the last thing replaced was the heat shield toward the middle rear of the exhaust (long aluminum piece of crap that corroded and broke the mounting tabs). Dorman replacement is, surprisingly, heavier gauge.
Very nice tutorial for Toyota's CVT. I recommend getting metric sockets when dealing with Asian / European vehicles. They're worth it.
He wasn't working with a CVT.
Holy Shit!! It’s Vinny!! Glad you doing well had not seen you since around 2005 at a bike show. Glad you are well.
Vinnie, Thank you Sir great Video... I've had great results using Amsoil Fuel Efficient ATF in my 2013 Tacoma.. For people who don't know it is a low viscosity ATF just like the Toyota World Standard ATF.. Only a far more superior product In opinion.. Not knocking on Toyota WS, just like it because its a step up in fluid quality..
Maxlife for me. Never an issue.
@@cyoungso Always good to hear what everyone is using
I also use Amsoil Signature Series ATF ony 06 Toyota sequoia 4WD. Change fluid and filter every 20,000 miles drain and fill drive it 10 miles and drain and fill. I do this three time and that's when I see full cherry red color as it drains. That's when I know I have about 90% old fluid out and replacing with clean
AMSOIL is the best.
@@Costarica-mq8el Does your 06 Sequoia have a strainer or a common paper filter
Hey Vinnie great job thanks for sharing this video I just to watch the 📺 show AMCH please make more videos good to see you again thanks 🙏 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
