Carbon Buildup = Fuel Injection Flush???

Hi CTScott, thanks for the response, just curious what you meant by the following:

"Don't let them talk you into doing a fluid change on the automatic transmission either, unless it is on their nickel. "

Do you mean the Transmission Fluid Flush? If so, i was on the impression that this required to be changed at around 100,000 km as per the manual, for a automatic transmission car. Isnt the life time for that fluid about 100k? Pls let me know as i was going to get that done at my next oil change visit in 8,000 km.

In the US service booklet that came with my 09, AT fluid is only inspected, not changed. The Toyota AT WS fluid is intended to be a "lifetime" fluid. It is probably not a bad idea to go ahead and change it around 100k miles, but 100k km is really early.
