[whozyer]

2013..61000 miles...I don't think there has ever been a tranny fluid change or flush...wondering which should be done.......drain and fill or flush??

 

[Muhammad Ali Khan]

Flush it

 

[ToyBoy]

Do it right and flush as much as you can.

BUT....why would toyota put a sticker on the dipstick stating that there is no need for it under normal operating conditions?

Because there is no need for it under normal conditions.Modern oils and better built engines and transmissions eliminate some of the old maintenance schedules we are used to going buy. You will get all kinds of advice on when to change but I for one tend to go buy what the engineers that designed the car advise.
