Default Re: HOW-TO: Check the Automatic Transmission Fluid Level

Have any of you (with a dipstick) noticed that it says "No need to change ATF under normal driving conditions." The Toyota service manual only mentions changing the ATF at 60,000 miles (if you use your vehicle for primarily for towing). The dealer says every 30,000 miles. A buddy of mine bought an '05 Tacoma 4X4. It doesn't have a tranny dipstick. The dealership told him that it was designed to be replaced only when the transmission "went out" or had to be serviced when there was a problem. Can you believe?
