When to do fluid changes?
I have a 2008 Yaris with auto trans. My Toyota dealer and the manual state that I should have major fluid change at 60,000 miles. I bring the vehicle in for an annual checkup. But I have not put any where near that mileage on the vehicle. Now that it is 6 model years old...should I insist that the trans and brake fluid along with the antifreeze be flushed and changed?

I would at least do a antifreeze check-up based on where you are.

The Toyota Canada Maintenance Menu states to change your automatic transmission fluid every 96,000 Km (60,000 miles), your Coolant at 128,000 Km (80,000 miles) and then every 64,000 Km (40,000 miles) after that.
I am not sure about the American Maintenance Menu but it is more lenient about changes than the the Toyota Canada Maintenance Menu. Roy |

At six years old, definitely get all the fluids changed. Brake fruid is known to absorb moisture and has to be changed every 2-3 yrs.
You don't want things getting corroded and further contaminated by old fluids. No question about it, change everything if you want your car to last. |
