When should the transmission fluid in a Toyota Matrix be changed? My car is at 63,000 miles. Will it be OK until 65,000 miles?

Just be sure you neither overfill nor underfill the transmission fluid..
The Edmunds Car Maintenance Guide says that a fluid change doesn't hurt.
-39 minute) Check your owner's manual.

I was surprised to learned that our transmissions have life-time ATF fluid. How can it be, I'd imagine it would need change at around 90-100K miles.
Are these transmissions reliable such that you dont need extra insurance in doing ATF changes?

I always plan on selling the car before I hit 50K miles so it is sealed for life for me.

b) A/T code of 2 or 8
c) stuck with one gear (usually at higher gear)
d) hard to shift between gear, etc.

Our prelude A/T is...

Hello,

Nothing wrong with trying since they seriously fcuked up.
Sometimes they tend to warrant them getting you a new transmission.
I'd check and make sure the stealership put enough fluid in your transmission.

The Edmunds Car Maintenance Guide says that the automatic transmission fluid on your CVT equipped the milage that was due? 2 minutes) I wondered about that too, but our car maintenance guide has the same....
Or not.

Does the car with automatic transmission has lower F.E. as compared to manual transmission? Why do the sales person discourage the person from buying the AT vehicle?
Answer Snippets (Read the full thread at carwale):
MT is also a lot more involving - greater interaction between car and driver...so if you like driving and like moving the car from standstill....
Will never look at AT unless there's a car you want that is simply not available as MT.
