Default SC400 Transmission Fluid

Please specify your SCs

How often do you change your trans. fluid?
Did anybody went over 30K miles between trans. fluid change?

I had a shake, run over rumble strips like, when the car at constant speed and only need a light acceleration. After changing the fluid. Problem gone

SC400 need special trans. fluid from Toyota

SC300 used regular Dextron II

My independent mehanic told me i didn't need to change the trans fluid when i had it in for 30k mile service. So my car is 54k mile now without any fluid change.
