How much ATF should be changed at main service?

I'm taking my 2013 GT86 AT in for its 6-year main service at a dealership tomorrow. In the quote they specified 2L of auto transmission fluid. I asked them if that was correct, as it sounded very...

I think i just explained a bit poorly. When i first checked the coolant, it was completely dry. Not a drop of coolant in sight. I refilled to max, and after 70km it was almost empty again.

So if i...

After toyota changed the valve springs in my 2012 GT86 it got a massive coolant leak. I didn't notice until i checked after it struggled to start all of the sudden. So i have probably driven quite a...

The tune for my calid haven't been released yet, but I'll give it some time. Hopefully it will fix the problem. The rough shifts i get from v2 are not worth the extra power.

According to their website, v4 will provide "Remapped throttle tables." But if it is the valve control doing the damage it won't matter. I'm guessing that most of the midrange boost in power comes...

Euro V4

Does anyone know if there will be made v4 tunes for euro-models?
Improved throttle-map sounds good. The current v2 one is a bit aggressive, and i suspect it messes with the rev-matching on my auto.

I just changed from OFH and stage 2 tune back to stock, and the auto shifts way, way smoother. Is rough shifting a known problem with OFT and automatic transmission?

Did the car recently had its battery disconnected? Maybe it wasn't done calibrating after a reset. Were the cars using the same petrol quality?
