AT fluid change interval?
I haven't seen a recommendation on when to have the AT serviced in my manual.
Anyone know the AT fluid change interval? |

It should be in your passport. I think somewhere around 100k.

Never "needs" changing according to Toyota. Weird stuff. My brother talked to a service guy about his Xb's AT fluid and the guy said the way Toyota makes the ATs - the fluid is good for the lifetime of the car. I still want to put Amsoil AT fluid in at about 50K though.

So the AT has a regular drain plug?

It does, but there is no drain interval specified by Toyota.

I am swaping over to Amsoil 75W-90 for my trans as soon as I get a day off of work and have some time to myself, luckily our trans only takes 2 quarts (manual trans that is)

Regardless what the dealers say all mineral based oils need to be changed sooner or later.
Personally I replace my synthetic autotrans fluid and filter every 75,000-100,000km For manual transmissions I use Amsoil 75W-90 and Never change it however I do drain it, filter it through a coffee filter and re-use it. this removes and harmful debris and water from the oil.

I'm going to call the dealership. I'm sure they have a AT service offer.
