Probably not new info for a lot of you. But I've been out of the Yaris loop for a few years now.

Did a tranny service on my daughter's '10 LB. With 126k on the clock, I figured it was due. I don't believe it's ever been done. The fluid, though dark, had a fair amount of pink to it still. I was very pleased that the pan was as clean inside as it was. Even the magnets had very little on them.

WS is fine fluid. But Valvoline MaxLife is OTC and $5 a quart and is an excellent substitute for it.

No issues at all. I plan to do a 2nd DAF next week.

For those interested: Most auto parts stores carry the service kit. I bought mine at NAPA for $19. It includes the filter, o-ring and pan gasket. I also grabbed 3 crush washers for the drain plug. Only 69 cents each.
