meuok Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 (edited) I checked my wife gear oil level (2012 Vios 160K) and on the dip stick, it states that it's not necessary, under normal conditions, to change the gear oil. However, if you google the subject, you should change every 100,000km. Can anyone clarify this? Edited November 8, 2020 by meuok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowadays automatic gearboxes boxes oils mostly in a vehicles lifetime need only checking but there are oil companies that make the stuff recommend you change it at certain mileages go figure.

VocalNeal Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 If the owners manual say 100,000k then that's what you should do. The fluid itself is not expensive. Just take it to Toyota. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you say, doesn't cost much for that little extra peace of mind.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another oils change subject that's always debated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
