Automatic Trans fluid change interval?
I own a Yaris with auto transmission. My local Toyota service manager has told me that I won't have to have the transmission fluid changed until at last 60,000 miles (100K km). I noticed that the Yaris engine does not have a 'dip stick' to measure the fluid level, either. Several forum members have mentioned changing the fluid once a year...but they never said how many miles.
Any consensus on how often or how far before a fluid change? |

Your AT Yaris does have a dispstick. If you do some searching there are a bunch of threads that discuss the changing process, that debate the interval, and that show pictures of the dipstick location.
