    Toyota Kluger 2008: Should the transmission be serviced?

    Toyota Toyota Advice Toyota Kluger Toyota Kluger Advice Toyota Kluger 2008

    Nowhere in the service book can I find any reference to the automatic transmission having to be serviced in 2008 Toyota Kluger KX-S AWD. It is now just over three years old and has traveled 35,000 km. Should the transmission be serviced?

    Generally today carmakers do not recommend servicing automatic transmissions, the transmissions are "filled for life" in the factory and according to the carmakers don't need any servicing. Auto transmission experts would disagree and say that you should change the oil every 25,000 km or so, and carry out a major service every 100,000 km or so. On that basis you could have the oil changed as a precaution, but if you're not towing with your vehicle you could safely let it go for a few more kays.
