when does ATF/radiator coolant/differential oil need changing?
I am original owner of my 2009 Yaris sedan with 35k, automatic cruise and power options. this car is indestructible. I got a series of recall notices and decided to bring it to the dealer. The dealer tried tot sell me a "30K package" now i change the oil/filter every 5k and just recently replaced the brakes and rotors. The car runs great. Now they said according to maint schedule I need to change tranni fluid, front differential oil and coolant. Is this true or are they just trying to sell me abn unnecessary job?? It is odd to me the car needs this with so little milage.

Sounds like the dealer is trying to rip you off with work that is not necessary yet....simply check your owner's manual for info on when to have this work done....it is certainly not 30k.

I believe they "saw you coming". Brakes and rotors at 30K? I just did mine for the first time, at 160,000 kl. but mines manual so life should be much longer given engine breaking.

The "30K package" part is a little sketchy. That being said, most A/T fluids start to show clutch material and change shift quality at 30-50K. Also, 5yrs is time for coolant to be changed as well (before it turns acidic and eats gaskets). Differential is located in the A/T and lubricated by the same A/T fluid so will be changed when the A/T fluid is done.
Cheers. |

I bought my Yaris brand new with warped rotors, so I guess it could be needed at anytime :)
