fluid maintenance is far cheaper than a new tranny. sensitive CVT should drain/fill every 30k.

LOL - I bought one for cheap on Ebay, and it ended up being a fake that lasted 3 months, with expensive dealer diagnosis to figure out the intermittent failure. ONLY use real Toyota parts for anything emission related, including spark plugs. The Ebay one looked exactly like the original...

My 05 has been running the cheapest 5w-30 conventional that is available. Now at 325,000 mi. Change every 4,000 miles. However, for higher mileage vehicles, do NOT change from the type of oil it has been running most of its life. I have seen engine cylinder failure very soon after doing that...

Do a drain/fill every 5th oil change. ONLY use toyota fluid. Mine now has 325,000 miles on original trans. No sign of even getting close to failure.

I use the cheapest conventional 5w-30 that I can find (walmart). Change every 4,000 miles, with toyota/wix filter. 325,000 miles now, uses about a 1/2 cup of oil between changes.

A service purchased on Ebay will reset your odometer to anything below the factory limit of 299,999. It cost me $85 and mine was reset to zero miles. Works great. Search Ebay for "odometer correction service". the one i used was in texas.
