Default Transmission question

I have '02 GS300 with close to 90K miles. Is it better to do a complete transmission flush or should I do drain and fill every oil change? Thank you in advance.

If you have not have tranny problems, just do a regular drain and refill as maintenance. Is your fluid really dark?

just like GSteg said, if you have no problems, just drain and fill. better yet, somewhere in between, drop the pan and replace the filter.

I took out the dip stick to look at and the fluid seem reddish. How much ATF should I put in after I have it drained?

If you drain from the transmission pan, you're going to get about 2-3 quarts out.
