Hey everyone its been a while since I've been on here. I recently sold my old truck and the wife and I bought a Highlander for her. I inherited the Camry she has been driving. She has owned the car since new but it now has 203k miles on it. We have been together for a couple years and in that time I have changed the oil but that is it.
I have always heard that changing transmission fluid on a vehicle with a lot of miles is not a good idea but I've never understood why. I'm assuming this transmission is running the factory fill, she doesn't remember it being changed. I don't like the idea of lifetime fluids of any kind in a vehicle and I know that's what the owners manual says. I think I am going to replace 2-3qts at a time until I get most of the old fluid out. I believe they recommend Toyota WS, but from what I've read it seems like Maxlife would be a good choice as well.
Thanks,
Joey
