Hi everyone! I'm new to toyota and automobiles in general.. :whatwhat:
I drive my wife's old 93 camry, steadily approaching 180k miles.
I use it to go to work (15 min drive) and I would like it to last as long as possible.
This car never had any real problems, my wife said she changed timing belt a couple years ago. So I was thinking what to do in terms of maintenance.
So far - I changed oil in it, and put on 17" wheels with new tires..
Then I was thinking to change differential and transmission oil.
I asked wife, if she ever changed those, she said no, and said that a mechanic at dealership told her that if you never changed tranny oil, you shouldn't, as it will totally destroy it or something...
That sound like BS to me, what is it, an urban myth? old wifes tale??
