Yes, I too just change fluid yearly. Trannies are way expensive.

Great video as always! I am always leery of manufacturing recommended intervals, but I’m really leery of those manufacturers that say CVT transmission fluid never has to be changed and is lifetime. I call bs

Thank you Peter. Very helpful. For my 2011 Sienna I had Toyota dealer service dept take care of it. I don't have a lift to use. Maybe I'll try the next one at 200k. miles. They had a long narrow funnel on Amazon that I used for my 09 Forester transmission fluid change. Take care Peter. Any sign of some Perogis on the menu in California where Hollywood will sell you Californication 🙂 Rock on California prophet on the burning shore..

I think we need to stop comparing new and old oil. Of course oil is going to darken over time – that's what it is supposed to do. The colour of oil has nothing to do with the condition. The only way to properly assess used oil is to do an oil analysis.

I changed the cvt transmission fluid on my Toyota auris hybrid touring sports 2015 , and it has a different drain and fill holes , I got the Toyota WS transmission fluid , I changed it at 102,312 miles and I was glad it wasn’t the type you have just done, as this one is a bit easier to change , you just fill it back up till it comes out of the filings hole , the only job I am not confident in doing is the rear brake rotors and pads , as it has a electric parking brake , just hoping you will show how it’s done soon , nice job you do Peter.

So do you recommend simply doing a drain and refill? A "flush"? Or a refill with the drain plug open until the new fluid flows clear & clean?

The viewers do seem to like the #wildbrine kraut recommendations. I also see you like to use the nongshim noodle bowl and would also like to see your recommendations on Costco products that you snack on while at the shop! Their new one #tonkotsu noodles is something I want to try next. Their Kirkland trail mix is too raw for me and not as great as Kar's brand which roast their nuts more. Bigger chocolates in their trail mix than Kirkland. And of course Kirkland synthetic often has great two 5 quart jugs on sale.
