You're preaching to the choir, my friend. I do my own maintenance, as much as I can. I have the auto trans, which is sealed (as you probably know). No dipstick and theoretically, no way for dirt to get in it. I had the same type of transmission on my Infiniti, and like Toyota, they suggested every 100k. My point was that if he was having issues, he should change it.

It was the master mechanic at Infiniti who told me that type of transmission will be fine up to 100k (not a receptionist). I realize there is a difference between a G37 and a Tacoma, not the least of which is A) how much faster the car is, and B) that I tow with my truck. I'll start looking at the fluid around 50-60k. If it looks like it needs it, I'll change it.

I gotcha

This just reminds me of the theories that changing transmission fluid causes them to fail when the transmission was already failing which is what caused the owner to get the fluid changed, thinking that was going to fix it.
