You should not have any problems if you follow the factory maintenance
schedule. If you want to be on the safe side, change the automatic
transmission fluid (ATF) every 30,000 or 60,000 miles. Your transmission
may require special ATF that Jiffy Lube does not carry so check for the
correct ATF in your owner's manual before letting Jiffy Lube have a go at
it.

It does use Toyota T-IV or Valvoline type 33-03 so I will have the
dealer do it.
