I have posted this question here before, but I recently got a different perspective from the Toyota dealer in town, and I wanted to verify. They said that Toyota has a built in filter and so, they do not necessarily recommend doing a full transmission flush all the time. Just draining and refilling the fluid every 15000 miles will suffice. My service station had told me that the fluid had become dark, and the Toyota people said that the Toyota fluid is by nature darker than most transmission fluids. Toyota has a Transmission service for 50 bucks and the full flush at the local mechanics is $125 and Toyota full flush is $160.
Yet, Toyota says that the 50$ ATF change is sufficient.
Any thought comments, suggestions?
