How often should the transmission fluid of Toyota Yaris be changed?
1 Answers
Toyota Yaris transmission fluid is recommended to be changed within 3 years or 60,000 kilometers for automatic transmission fluid. Generally, 4 liters of oil are required for a basic change, or a circulating machine can be used, which typically requires about 10 liters of oil. Older vehicles may require more frequent maintenance. It's important to note that the manufacturer does not specify a corresponding replacement and maintenance cycle for transmission fluid. For automatic transmissions, 4S shops usually recommend changing it every 80,000 to 100,000 kilometers, while for manual transmissions, the recommendation is every 40,000 kilometers. Using a circulating machine to change the transmission fluid generally requires about 8 liters. Precautions when changing automatic transmission fluid: When changing the fluid, it is essential to use the automatic transmission fluid specified by the manufacturer. Different automatic transmissions have varying internal structures, friction components, and sealing components. The original fluid is specially formulated based on the transmission's structure and materials. Other brands of fluid, even if of high quality, may not be suitable. Additionally, when changing the transmission fluid, some old fluid may remain in the transmission channels and torque converter. Mixing different fluids inside the automatic transmission may degrade the performance of the transmission fluid, leading to poor lubrication or operational abnormalities, which can severely damage the automatic transmission.
