My 2005 camry has 107,000 highway miles and has never had transmission fluid or filter changed. I am changing the fluid, but should I change the filter or just leave it alone? Toyota manual does not reference filter changes. Car is running great.

Not a sealed transmission and fluid is only good for 60k. Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car.

Fluid Types

Change Automatic Transmission Fluid Only As Necessary.

Generally, it is necessary to change automatic transmission fluid only if your vehicle is driven under one of the Special Operating Conditions listed under one of the Scheduled Maintenance Guide or Owners Manual Supplement.

When changing the automatic transmission fluid, use only "Toyota Genuine ATF Type T-IV" (ATF JWS3309 or NWS6500) to aid in assuring optimum transmission performance.

Notice: Using automatic transmission fluid other than "Toyota Genuine ATF Type T-IV" may cause deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ultimately damage the automatic transmission of your vehicle.
Capacities

Drain and Fill: .................... Up to 3.7 US. qt. (3.5 L; 3.1 Imp. qt.)

Cooling system would need to be flushed and filled with Toyota Red. Also plugs are due at 100K.

Check out the images (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
