She was faced with a $2500 repair bill.ġ. I witnessed a woman bring her Honda accord into a brake shop after local quik lube put AT/PS into the brake fluid reservoir ruining the ABS and main brake master cylinders. There are countless horror stories where an incompetent untrained 'tech' at a quick lube used completely incorrect/wrong fluid to fill brake/radiator/oil/PS - the results can be catastrophic and they will lie and say they did not make a mistake after the fact. Never allow a 'quik lube ' place to touch your car. Using wrong AT fluid can be an extremely expensive mistake. Be sure to use the exact AT fluid specified per the manual. However doing a drain and fill every 30 k miles should keep enough fresh new AT fluid in the system to minimize wear and risk of early AT failure. Note that an AT pan drain and fill typically only replaces 3 quarts of the 9-12 total quarts in the AT.

AT will last a lot longer and remain problem free by doing a drain and fill of the AT every 30 k miles.

Many modern AT are 'sealed' with manual stating that the AT fluid is 'lifetime'. Most radiator fluid factory fills are good for first 60k miles and then flush and refill with new fluid every 60 k going forward.Ĥ. Modern radiator fluid (engine coolant) has pretty long life these days. Do this every 3-4 years to maximize the life of the PS pump and PS seals.ģ.

There is usually no documented change interval in the manuals for PS fluid, but many folks change it out gradually by draining the car's PS reservoir and refilling 2-3 times until the fluid shows clear red in color. Almost all PS fluid is actually Dexron AT fluid. Using the wrong brake fluid can be a very expensive mistake.Ģ. Be sure to use the correct specified brake fluid per your manual. Brake fluid should be clear and very light tan/yellow in color when in good condition. Miles driven with brake fluid is typically not critical, but you should change brake fluid every 2-3 years max, or sooner if the brake fluid turns dark or murky looking. Water is not a good thing to have in brake lines. Brake fluid is hygroscopic meaning it absorbs water over time. Those guys will help you out with issues specifically related to your vehicle.ġ.

Do that and you will never need any type of 'fuel system maintenance' to 300k miles - that's a gimmick.ĭon't get me wrong - I love car questions on BH, but get involved in a Toyota/Camry forum. Forget about saving $0.03 for the cheap crap - less detergents and more buildup and reduced injector performance. Just use high quality gas brands - Shell, BP. Toyota's is fine, but too pricey.ĭon't fool with fuel injector cleaner or oil additives/Lucas/Seafoam and crap. Zerex Asian Red should be the right aftermaket type - it's good stuff. Don't be tricked by the oil change places selling those every time.Īntifreeze should be 100k. So always use the Toyota ATF (don't worry, it's good stuff).Įngine and Cabin Air filters are probably 30-40k items. Transmission fluid, unlike engine oil, has very specific friction modifiers that allow the clutches to catch at the right time and not slip too much.

You should do a full drain and fill and not flush. There should be no problem doing it sooner. My Tundra allows for a 100k mile interval, not sure about the Camry. I am a big proponent of changing ATF (transmission fluid).

100k is fine on that but follow your manual - it's similar to ATF but less temperamental. Power Steering fluid can be replaced with a turkey baster. Your brake job around 100k is a fine time to do it for the first time. Brake fluid really isn't going to have a property change or get contaminated enough to affect anything. Just be on top of you brake pads and remember to do the fluid replacement. Replace brake fluid when you do your brake pads. is a forum/site if you really want to go deep into motor oil. If I am recommended 2 weights, I go with the lighter to get better startup protection. I'm a fan of Mobil 1 Extended Performance with the same intervals. I recommend doing oil by the car's interval/maintenance reminder.
