My wife's Corolla needs it changed at 100k, Toyota uses some special auto tranny fluid that I could only get at Toyota. It was only like $5 a quart, so it wasnt expensive at all.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Hmmm now I'm laughing with you, heat likely killed your previous trans. Two things will break down oil, HEAT and CRUD. Your transmission, if your worried about reliability, should benefit from an oil analysis. You'll know all you need to know from your oil report to keep that tranny for good, even recommend you completely new service intervals based on the report. Which will clearly show your motorsport is breaking down the oil sooner than average. Does your 95' come with a cooler standard now?

You can benefit by using an aftermarket cooler of your choice and also to keep maintain even cleaner add a spin on filter head using any regular oil filter also of your choice.

Dude NO WAY should you go 100k miles between transmission services. I know that Toyota may say it's ok, but don't think it's ok unless your OWNER'S MANUAL states.

Always check the intervals:
My dodge truck states to do a complete transmission flush and fulter replacement every 30k mi. Oil changes every 5k

The T-56 in the vette is like every 100K, but that's a manual. Oil changes every 5K

My GF Jetta has oil changes every 10K!

My HS buddy how is a toyota certified mechanic stated that even though they don't change the fluid unit 100K. If anything goes wrong they replace the entire unit. The most common problem with the Toyota trannies are the valve bodies not functioning because they get clogged.

Changing the fluid at earlier intervals WILL NOT cause additional damage.


Ron here is rule of thumb when conducting transmission service: "Keep doing whatever you've been doing".

If you have flushed the fluid in the unit then don't. If you do then all the debris and sediment that has built up in the unit will be moved by the more viscous newer fluid and clog the valve body. You will likely develope leaks from seals and tolerances that where worn, but the old dirty thicker fuild could not seap through.

I just spent $1200 on a new valve body for my truck. I ALWAYS had the transmission fluid flushed within the recommended interval by jiffylube. Unfortunately they don't change the filters.

I think you meant to say haven't.

All my words of "wisdom" and the only two things I get quoted about is;
"want naked" by Vettesuki and "I'm kinda cute" from you. I see how it is.

I'll guess I'll go with being "Eye Candy". So that's makes me a "Trophy Husband" for Darlene?

Technically your original quote was:

"I don't need quality in my thinking, I need naked."
