While getting my Prado service the other day, I spent some time looking through the Service Manual and Operating Handbook trying to find when I should get the auto transmission serviced.
The service book only says to inspect the auto's fluid every 40,000. It does indicate to replace the fluid at 80,000, but only if driven under extreme driving conditions. ie; if towing trailers a lot.
The operating handbook says not to replace the fluid unless necessary.
When should we get the auto serviced?
Going by Toyota's handbooks, they seem to think the auto pretty much looks after it's self.
Regardless, I am getting the fluid replaced before we head to WA at Christmas.
