Earlier I wrote that the total fill for the 2006 Camry's AT fluid
is 9.3 quarts. That's true for the V6 Camry which uses the
U151E transmission, but the 4-cylinder 2006 Camry uses the
U250E transmission, which has a total fill of 8.5 quarts.
If just doing a simple ATF drain-and-fill, just 3.7 quarts
is required for both the U151E and the U250E, because
most of the rest of the ATF is in the torque converter, in the
AT oil cooler (the short length of pipe underneath the radiator),
and in the hoses which connect to the AT oil cooler.
The 2 hoses on my Camry leading from the transmission to the
AT oil cooler are actually labeled with the words "AT Oil."
Toyota helpin' out to simplify things :-)
I don't think I'll ever do anything more than a drain-and-fill
of the ATF, though. When I crawled under the chassis to
take a look at the ATF pan, I saw that several of the 18
bolts are recessed away in hard-to-reach awkward spots.
You'd have to be plastic man to reach those bolts or have
really flexible tools.
Has anyone ever removed their own car's ATF pan to
replace its gasket and screen-filter or clean the
magnets and clean the ATF pan itself? I guess after 20
years it might make sense...
