Yeah...Toyota claims it doesn't need to be replaced under "normal driving conditions". But with a 126k on the clock and not having all it's service history I thought it prudent to do so.

Simple procedure and not expensive either. Paid $20 for the filter and pan gasket. MaxLife is an excellent WS substitute as it has the same viscosity as WS but contains conditioners to help older, high mileage transmissions. It can be had for about $5 a quart.

Finished up the 3rd drain and fill the other day. No problems to report
