How often do I need to flush out my transmission?

Modern Toyota transmissions are famous for being incredibly reliable and needing very little attention. The average driver who uses their Toyota vehicle in common environments will likely only need a few transmission flushes. The best way to know when it's time to have the transmission fluid changed is to check the transmission's dipstick and see what it looks like. If it looks bright and clear, it's ok. If it looks dark brown or black, it's definitely time for a change. A driver might notice that their automatic transmission sounds like it's struggling, or it's become difficult to shift gears with a manual. This could also be a sign that new fluid is needed. 

Time table for new engine coolant 

By its very nature, the internal combustion process that takes place inside of an engine produces a lot of heat. This needs to be dealt with effectively and efficiently. Most of the heavy lifting for keeping an engine as cool as possible falls on the vehicle's radiator and the coolant that flows through it. Coolant lasts a long time, but it will need to be replaces at pretty regular intervals. Every time someone comes to Colonial Toyota for an oil change, one of our service technicians will take a look at the coolant and make a recommendation if it needs to be changed. An engine that gets too hot can lead to major problems.
