Transmission Flush / Coolant Flush at 60k? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Also make sure you use OE fluids, not a/m catch all fluids. Can't tell you how many times I have seen goofy things happen because someone used a "fits all fluids" fluid from a local parts store.

If you look at those fluids, even the ones that say they will work for WS fluid, it will say not to use it in the hybrids. That is because it does not have the same properties as the WS fluid, that the hybrids require. True WS fluid is nonconductive. I don't like compromising on stuff like this.

I do use the cheap Wal-Mart windshield wiper fluid,

but I use OEM (OEM spec re oil) re all other fluids.
