60K Mile Maintenance

[R2D2]

Silverglow,

The intent of my posts were not to anger anyone. If you read my posts I made it clear the manual for my 2009 indicates to check the transmission fluid at either 100k or 120k (I can never remember which but I've got plenty of time to look it up again before I hit that kind of mileage). For my 09 that's it-its lifetime fluid and Toyota dosen't recommend changing it. I then voiced what MY intent is which is to do drain and fills. I then quoted the service manual regarding top up and valve body removal as examples that no mention is made in literature I can find that indicates a complete flush is required vs just adding new fluid. In other words I have seen no mention anywhere in my materials of the fact "new and unused" ws can't be added to ws that's already in use in the tranny. If anyone can point me toward where this is written and it applies to my 09 I will stand corrected and will be most appreciative.

Let me also restate I realize there is NO recommended transmission maintenance for my 09 other than inspection of the ATF at 100k or so and apologize if I confused anyone.
