Replacing Transmission Fluid

I have a 4.0 and the Canadian maintenance schedule says 96 000kms ( 60 000 miles )

 

I know, I know....Don't need another "Tacogate" do we?....lol

 

glad i made a thread about this. i found some threads that say 60,000 and others that say 100,000 miles.

i will have to check local prices but it sounds like it's much cheaper than i originally anticipated.

 

When is the 2.7 to be serviced? I have almost 95,000. I have the 5 speed though

 

If you have a 5 speed manual, then they don't get service that much. Though I like to change the fluid out as often as I do axle fluid, so about every 60k.

 

In SoCal, I would recommend Carson Toyota off the 405 near the refinery.

It's a corporate-owned dealer and a sponsor of Tundrasolutions. They've always done me right on parts and warranty service.
Other dealerships have tried to tack on extras as a condition of releasing a vehicle after recall work, hosed me on prices, or... Claremont Toyota left the radiator cap off after changing a warped exhaust manifold.
Glendora Toyota is cheaper than Claremont on parts.

 

i will try carson toyota. it is not too far out of my way.

i have the V6 with the auto transmission.

 

Be warned.... they are busy.
I haven't been there in years, but they used to have a lot jockey bringing coffee and donuts out to people waiting in line for service Saturday morning.

Weekdays aren't bad, worth taking a day off work.

 

Did you ever take it to Carson?

I'm looking for a shop that's reasonable in the OC as well.

 

Carson and Glendora are both good.

Stay away from Claremont.

 

So far. Any experience with Toyota of Orange? That's right by me

 

Not with service in OC.

Had some very bad sales experiences with South Coast.
I've heard bad things about Elmore for 30 years.
