Hi all, Anyone got an informed view on the servicing requirements for the Aurion transmission and how difficult/expensive? I have a late 2007 Aurion bought second hand from a Toyota dealer in 2010 (one of their staff cars) and runs great with 75k kms. At the last service under warranty in 2010, the dealership was quite vague as to the requirements for replacing the transmission fluid with quotes like its a completely sealed system, doesnt require any servicing for life, 150k kms etc. I couldn't see it in the book but I used to flush the trannie fluid on my old 94 magna every 12-18 months for $100 as an insurance policy. I just don't trust the car makers especially if its not in their interest for trannies to keep going forever outside of warranty and can't imagine any technology maintaining the lubrication properties of a fluid (in snow occassionally) or preventing tansmission shavings for 300k kms? Thanks. Marty
