Has anyone changed out their auto trans fluid yet? I just had the dealer do my trans and diff. They commented that the trans fluid came out yellow, and that the service manual says to use a red fluid. I'm curious if they just potentially ruined my trans, if the factory fill is just a different fluid, or maybe if it changes color over time.

I will be doing the fluid change and bilstein b14 coil install next monday - I think I heard somewhere Scion would want $250 for the trans fluid service - I will call Scion next Monday as well, unless somebody has info

And last thing, I am Phil LOL I made your key!

@AG3NT_5CARFAC3 Did you ever get your fluid changed at the dealer? How did it go and which dealer you went to?

It should be red, or at least brown.

I've drained and filled mine about 5 times so far, so about 40% of the fluid changed, at 25,000km.

Check the fluid at 42C and it will drive perfect.

what did you guys notice when you were running a bit over mileage and didnt change the ATF ? any notice in gears catching or rpms not shifting as well or holding the rpm a little longer than usual?

I noticed no difference after getting the fluids changed at ~28k. Wasn't seeing anything weird before that, still ran perfect.

im at 48k now didnt change my fluid yet im not sure if its all in my head or what but when im driving i notice sometimes my rpms are held up for a little before it will shift and can be a little jumpy sometimes or not as smooth as i would like. not sure if its just the type of engine we have or what. rpms seem to get a little to high for what my throttle is but thats very subjective i know... when i was at 28k my car felt beautiful also started acting this way around 40k. almost like the tranny doesnt catch the gear quick enough

Would like more info regarding this topic.
42K miles on the clock

zoomzoomers · 11-13-2015, 08:35 PM

Isn't the recommended mileage at 60k?

kaede1337 · 11-17-2015, 09:04 AM

I might have missed it somewhere but how atf do i put in when i drain it? As much as it came out or is there a specific amount? I plan putting the car on stands and waiting overnight to do it
