130,000 KM, about 80 K miles. Have had a trans flush on the last 4 or 5 cars I owned, all improved shifting and smoothness. My last one , a 2004 Chrysler I flushed when I bought it at 110,000 kms, which improved the shifting etc. and it was still shifting fine when I sold it at 265,000 kms. IMO most, if not all of those stories about disaster after a flush are about a transmission on its last legs.

I'm using torque pro with an elm 327 Bluetooth adapter. Have not found a reliable formula for transmission temperature on a Toyota product. Found some formulas that people tried and said worked for them, but gave me all sorts of goofy readings. I have a techstream set up, but that's not very convenient to drive around with my laptop without a dedicated laptop cradle.
thanks for your info.

Copy, I assume you were able to download an extra function to monitor transmission temperature.

I show a filter, # 35330, not a screen. See my post above. I changed mine on my 2016. Same transmission.

Well I called the local Lexus dealer here in Knoxville and after saying they'd do a drain and fill for $300, found out that it was only going to be replacing just the fluid that came out and not a complete replacement of all fluid. When I asked about a total replacement or flush and change of filter, I was put on hold and service tech came back and said Head Service said they were completely declining to do ANY change, not even the drain and fill!!!!
Called Aamaco and they said they do a flush with synthetic Valvoline on a BG machine which only uses the cars' transmission pump to replace the fluids for $300.
Called back the Toyota dealer and they said they also do the drain and fill and no filter replacement
Im wondering if the Aamaco method works?
