Yeah they won't change tran. fluid on our 2019+ ES even if you want to pay for it.

About your IS (what year?), hitting 30K (ok?), got noisier (what and where), and you asked them to change fluid (what fluid), they said it would be at my cost (Were you expecting this under some kind of warranty?), you traded it soon after (ok?) => I can't connect the dot here

So my IS, as my siggy says, was a 2010. When the (very slight) tranny noise sounded noticeable, it was at around 35k. This thread is about tranny fluid, so I was referring to the AT fluid. I didn't care if it was under warranty or not. As a matter of course, I wanted to change the AT fluid. I knew that since it was not on the maint schedule, it would not get done. They quoted me something like $250 - that was several years ago. Based on the anticipated mounting expenses, I traded it in. It was a CPO with 4 free maintenance visits and I had used up all of them at that point.
