2017 transmission fluid change

[Garyb]

I have a 2017 Corolla with 130,000 miles. I don't see anything in the manual regarding a transmission fluid change. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi, I would just do a quick and easy drain and refill. Don't be tricked into doing an expensive "flush" at a dealership or quick lube place.

I believe your 2017 has the same 2ZR-FE 1.8L I4 engine as in my 2010 Corolla.

I did a DIY write up for the procedure on my travel blog -

I hope that helps.

130,000 miles. I don't see anything in the manual regarding a transmission fluid change.

It's in the warranty and maintenance guide.



(You don't mention if it's a CVT or a manual). If CVT, see procedure below.

The engine is the same, not the transmission if automatic (CVT).

2010 Corolla does not have a CVT transmission. I have a 2014 Corolla with a CVT tranny and had my local dealer change mine at 60,000 miles.I am currently at 67,000 miles. I drive fairly conservatively but still think it is a good idea to change every 5 years or 60k miles. Just added preventive care that hopefully will make the car last a long time.

PS I am not aware of a dipstick on the newer Corolla`s for tranny checks. Yes, there is an oil dipstick.

My friend you CVT fluid change is due. Take to a experienced mechanic. Has no dipstick, the oil is an special one, just on oil spend $120, +
the filter which is an special one, check you VIN, in order to replace the filter, filter model depends on the VIN #. Also for the fluid level has to be adjusted within an specific temperature range.
I just did 4 days ago, I know what I'm talking about, the mechanic is my friend and told me the secrets behind the oil change.
