Hi, I have a toyota camry 2004 v6 3.0L, how do I change the transmission fluid on my car as well as spark plugs. I can get to the three spark plugs in front of the engine but am unable to reach the other three on the other side of the engine. As for the transmission fluid is there a certain way i'm suppose to flush the transmission fluid and add new transmission fluid?

Hi there,

To change the transmission oil, remove the pan and drain the oil, clean all the muck in the pan and replace the filter, top up the transmission and check with the car running in park, re check when hot and check for any leaks. To access the rear spark plugs the tip inlet manifold will have to be removed, this will be a job for your mechanic if you feel it beyond your comfort zone.

Hi there,

I will send what I can, I wont have any pics but I should be able to give you a good run down, its not that hard, just watch what your doing and make a few notes as you remove items, I will respond soon, as I am in Australia and I will be back on line in a few hrs, at a different computer with a better data base access.
