I have toyota camry 2001 v6 with 100k miles, last time transmission oil changed at 35k miles from previous owner, I bought car with 74k miles and rightnow it has 100k, is it safe to change transmission oil now or will it cause more problem?
Toyota Camry Transmission Fluid
It is perfectly safe to change the transmission fluid at that mileage, but opt for the Drain and Refill option from your mechanic instead of a flush. There is absolutely no need to put additives inside a perfectly good working transmission which is what a flush will essentially do. It is common for those transmission pans to seep or leak at that mileage, it might be in your best interest to get it changed out and refill the fluid (it uses Dextron III ATF). Let me know if you have any more questions regarding your vehicle.
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/avppR It could potentially cause more problems, I've seen a wide variety of cars hitting 300,000km with the same transmission fluid. So long as it has plenty of oil and its changes gear correctly, I'd just leave it alone to be honest but if it is something you do want to do then find a reputable garage, if your mate says 'no worries, I can do it for you' just walk away lol
