4th Generation Advice needed

Hi everyone

Our Gen4s are like 6-8 years old now and though they may seem to perform
well (for me at least now) I am worried of the following

- transmission oil replacement - since getting the Camry I have not changed the oil before when I bought it 2 yrs ago. Dont know whether the previous owner changed or not. How can I check

- my aircon is acting funny - when switched on, only the driver side vents (center and wing mirror section) are cool, the other two at passenger side are not (center and wing mirror section). Is this related to a air hose misalignment, or the cooling coil with output hoses blocked or what.

1. Its trans fluid - I get mine flushed annually. But since you haven't, I'd advise you to do a drain and fill every 10K miles.

2. Aircon - ensure the settings are correct, the air-circulate button is not open (switches on). and check for leaks and maybe you just need a recharge of gas??
