    I dropped the transmission pan and replaced the gasket as well as the transmission filter. Mileage is 102,075.

    No issues, everything looked good. I had done one prior drain and fill at 70k.

    He replaced the filter. Used to be part of regular maintenance.

    Back when manufacturers weren't pushing you to buy a new car every 5 years.

    No need to drop the pan on these at all. Rust belt owners risk snapping off bolts. Drain and refill.

    The filter does need to be serviced and the rust belt people should get the undercoating AND use a sprayer to neutralize the salt.

    Yes, really overkill at 100k. I'd do a few drain and fills and probably wait until 200k

    It was never serviced if drained and filled regular. Unnecessary. This is a Toyota and not a Dodges or Ford. You can change fluid to early and ruin transmission too. I changed mine at 192k and it's fine. I guess these pans don't have FIPG but a gasket now.
