Thanks for the info guys. After going home last night and looking my wifes highlander, I am a bit perplexed though. I could not find a transmission dip stick anywhere. Then I looked through the owners manual and it mentioned to only change the transmission fluid when necessary. What the heck? I would feel more comfortable changing it periodically because I don't think it is possible to have a fluid that won't break down or get contaminated with metal shavings etc in a transmission. Seems like a ploy by Toyota to sell new transmissions or new vehicles to me when transmissions go out due to not being serviced:lol: Any thoughts on changing or not changing?
So, my question now is, if there is no dipstick, how in the world would I put fluid back into the vehicle if I were to drain it? I think I already know the answer (take to dealer to have it done) but I wanted to check to get input on the forum first. Thanks:chug:
