wrong transmission fluid? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Ya I'm pretty sure the transmission fluid is not correct, and will have to be flushed.

Now my question is: is the lube shop responsible to get me the correct fluid? I would think they would pay the 250 for the dealer to do it, just so they don't end up having to replace my transmission...

I'm almost sure they are required to put the correct fluid in and/or replace the tranny if it suffers any damage, but can't find any exact legislation - anyone know a specific act or law that would cover this? I like to be prepared when I rip service managers a new one.
