1. Drive vehicle until engine and transmission reach normal operating temperature. Park vehicle on level
surface and apply parking brake. With engine idling and brakes applied, move gearshift from Park
through Low and back to Park.
2. Check fluid level on transmission dipstick. Fluid level should be in HOT range marked on dipstick. Add
proper type of fluid if necessary. See RECOMMENDED FLUID
under LUBRICATION. DO NOT
overfill transmission.
Transmission/Differential (Avalon, Camry, Celica 2.2L 5S-FE, Corolla 1.6L 4A-FE & Tercel 3-Speed)
Remove filler plug. See Fig. 1 -3. Fluid should be level with bottom edge of filler plug hole. If fluid is low, fill
with proper type fluid until fluid is level with filler plug opening. See RECOMMENDED FLUID

g. NOTE: When checking fluid level for the transmission, if vehicle has been operating in
heavy traffic, towing a trailer or at high speeds in hot weather, wait 30 minutes
before checking the fluid level.
NOTE: Some models have a transmission/differential unit. On these models the
differential lubrication is separate from the transmission fluid. It must be
checked and filled separately.

Severe Service (Unique Driving Conditions)
CAMSHAFT TIMING BELT
Inspect timing belt at 60,000 miles or 48 months and thereafter inspect timing belt every 15,000 miles, or 12
months. Replace belt as necessary.
The condition of camshaft drive belts should always be checked on vehicles which have more than 50,000
miles. Although some manufacturers do not recommend belt replacement at a specified mileage, others require
it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A camshaft drive belt failure may cause extensive damage to internal engine
components on most engines, although some designs do not allow piston-to-valve contact. These designs are
often called Free Wheeling.
Many manufacturers changed their maintenance and warranty schedules in the mid-1980's to reflect timing belt
inspection and/or replacement at 50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules in this manual reflect
these changes.
Belts or components should be inspected and replaced if any of the following conditions exist:
Cracks Or Tears In Belt Surface
Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth
Oil Contamination
Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners
Incorrect Tension Adjustment NOTE: Use the Severe Service schedule if the vehicle to be serviced is operated under
ANY (one or more) of these conditions:
Towing a trailer or using a camper or car-top carrier.
Repeated short trips of less than 5 miles in temperatures below freezing.
Extensive idling or low-speed driving for long distances as in heavy
commercial use such as delivery, taxi or patrol car.
Operating on rough, muddy or salt covered roads.
Operating on unpaved or dusty roads.
CAUTION: Failure to replace a faulty camshaft timing belt may result in serious
engine damage.
