    Hey guys;
    I haven't been on this forum very long, and it's been awhile since I have been able to. Anyways, I bought a new 2016 sport in the end of last December and I have 5500 miles on it currently. I was planning on taking it into the dealership sometime in the next two weeks to have the tires rotated. I know they won't change the oil until it hits 10K or one year, but what else do I need to have them check. Again I haven't been on here in a while and the other day I jumped on here while I had some downtime at work I am seeing stuff about low ATF fluid from factory, some tsb update that should be done. I am kind of concerned now and am wondering if someone can catch me up on what I should have the dealer check when I go in there. Sorry in advance about my ignorance, just life has been busy. Appreciate any help.
    Thanks,
    Mav

    If you haven't already been on here to check for an occurring issue I wouldn't sweat it. I would get the ATF level checked but sometimes they request an over night to get the temperature they need to properly test. Also note Toyota does not cross rotate tires even after I requested.

    lube the driveline ... don't forget that and good luck with the oil change ... it's scheduled at 10K not 5k but IF you ask specifically they may do it.

    Good luck. I had no problem getting them to manually check the ATF. It was 2 quarts low! It drives better since being topped off and TSB.

    As far as the Automatic Transmission Fluid, I was wondering if it has some thing to do with the tow package. With the automatic transmission you get an ATF cooler with the tow package, maybe they are not adding enough transfluid to fill this as well?
