5spd auto trans filter change or not?
I have been trying to be very thorough with my maintenance on my used 4runner I have purchased. I have an 03 with the v8 so I have the 5spd auto transmission.
At 136,000 I figure I should have the trans fluid flushed. So, I did. It was flushed and replaced with a additive and type IV fluid at tires plus. It has seemed pretty good. I don't know if I should have had the WS fluid or not? I was just trying to get the maintenance up to par and figured they know what they are doing.
So now, I am looking into the transmission filter. Chilton's says change it at 30,000. I bought a kit from pep boys (filter and gasket). Pep boys mechanic says don't mess with it! One Toyota dealer says don't change it!!!
Am I supposed to change this filter (strainer) or not? Have you or do you plan on changing yours?
