How frequently does the automatic transmission fluid need to be changed?

That's a great tip. Coming up on a drain and fill soon, so will give that a try. Thanks.

I also noticed an increase in MPG. I should have done it sooner! I used Valvolene Maxlife synthetic Automatic Transmission Oil from Wal-Mart. Toyota WS compatible. Tranny is silky smooth.
