As a result, the transmission fluid that the vehicle uses is incredibly important! Join the staff here at Toyota Palo Alto today as we explore how often you should be replacing or inspecting the transmission fluid in your Toyota vehicle!
Replacing and Inspecting Your Toyota Vehicle’s Transmission Fluid
How often you replace and inspect the transmission fluid in your Toyota is laid out in your vehicle’s Owner’s Manual. Generally speaking, transmission fluid replacement and inspection intervals can range anywhere between 15,000 and 100,000 miles.
Toyota recommends that vehicles featuring an automatic transmission have their fluid changed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Vehicles with manual transmissions should have their fluid changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
Importance of Replacing and Inspecting Your Toyota Vehicle’s Transmission Fluid
It is very important to change or inspect the transmission fluid in your Toyota vehicle as often as the intervals above recommend. This will allow the fluid to offer better lubrication and heat reduction, which generates much better performance and stability. Additionally, replacing old fluid removes any excess debris and particles that may have accumulated within the transmission system as well!
