I cant seem to find any dipstick for my trans fluid. Can someone please tell me if there is a dipstick or not.

There is no dipstick, it's a "sealed" transmission.

In the US there is no scheduled transmission fluid change EVER. In Canada, it's in the schedule to be changed every 96,000 km. I don't know how I'd feel about having any fluid sitting in the car forever let alone the transmission fluid.

The only way to change it is to drain and refill using a pump. I'm still not entirely sure what the correct procedure is to do it but I decided it's the kind of thing that I just let somebody else deal with considering the service (at Toyota, anyway) is really not that expensive.

in my book, there is no such thing as a "lifetime fluid"......

the GS3 uses the W.S. transmission fluid.

i had mine drained, and refilled 15k miles ago
