Differential Refill

You can refill the transmission through the transmission dipstick tube. Start with 2 quarts then shift through the gears, allowing atleast 5 seconds per gear. Then put it back in park and check the dipstick. Only fill to the cold line. Then drive the vehicle around for a good 15 minutes and check the transmission again. Add to the hot if necessary. Be carefull to not overfill.

hope that was helpfull

There is no filler plug on the differential, it fills from the A/T dipstick tube.

My Haynes manual shows one and it says that the diff. unit is separate and must be individually filled. ~~~~~~~~~ Make sure you're looking at the same year and engine as yours. Don't think your '00 V-6 has a separate differential oil reservoir, although the earlier 4 cyl. models did.

Thanks to all: Indeed, there is no separate filler on the differential unit on the '00 V-6 Camry. Everything filled fine through the dipstick tube. The Haynes manual was just plain wrong.

Thanks again
