According to the manufacturer, it's recommended to change the transmission fluids in a Toyota Tacoma every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Most vehicles with manual transmissions should follow this same interval for fluid changes. If your Tacoma is showing signs like gear slipping or difficulty in shifting, replacing the transmission fluid can greatly improve its performance. These fluids play a vital role in regulating temperature, removing contaminants, and ensuring smooth functioning of the transmission system. If issues persist even after changing the fluid, a complete system flush may be necessary. In such cases, it's advisable to seek advice from a professional mechanic or your dealership.
My 2004 Tacoma has clocked 264,000 miles and the fluid was last changed at 100,000 miles. Is it possible to change it now without causing any problems?
