I have a 2013 Toyota Corolla Type S. I went in for a 45k Tune Up and they told me I needed to get a fuel injector kit service
and that I should be getting a Transmission Fluid Flush at 50k miles. Should I be getting a Transmission Fluid Flush or should i change my Transmission fluid at 50k miles?

Owners of other Toyota, Lexus or Scion vehicles such as the Yaris, Matrix, Prius, Camry, Celica, RAV4, Sienna, Tacoma, Tundra, FJ Cruiser, Venza, Highlander, Avalon, Sequoia, Land Cruiser, Allion, Premio, Auris, IS 250, ES 350, GS 350, tC, xB, xD, iQ and FR-S may also find these DIY instructions to be helpful. The items needed to complete this procedure include a floor jack, two jack stands, a 10mm Allen Key or 10mm hex head socket, a fluid catch basin, 4 U.S. quarts of Toyota WS ATF (World Standard - Automatic Transmission Fluid), a gallon jug marked with half quart measured lines and a small automotive funnel. (Please double check your manual for the ATF drain and refill specification. Some Corolla model years only require 2.6 U.S. quarts.) Since Toyota claims that the ATF is a "lifetime" fluid, by doing a simple "drain and fill" that replaces about half of the U341E automatic transmission's 6.9 U.S. quart total capacity at least every few years, your vehicle's maintenance will be far ahead of the average Corolla owner. Black Metal Transmission Pan ATF Drain Bolt - 10mm Hex Tranny Fluid Dipstick This procedure should be done when the engine and transmission have been warmed up to near operating temperature to help suspend any contaminants within the old transmission fluid and to allow the old fluid to drain out more quickly. You may be able to reach the transmission oil pan drain bolt without raising the vehicle. I found it easiest to raise the car with a floor jack at the lifting point under the front bumper at the center of the vehicle. Then I securely supported the car with two jack stands. The black metal ATF pan is located on the right (driver) side of the engine bay. The silver metal drain bolt is situated at the left (passenger side) rear corner of the pan. Pull Out ATF Dipstick Used Oil Catch Container Loosen 10mm Allen Drain Bolt Move to the right front area of the engine bay and pull up the ATF dipstick an inch or two to help prevent a vacuum from forming when you drain out the old fluid. Slide the used oil catch container to just below the drain bolt. To keep my hands clean, I chose to wear synthetic oil resistant Nitrile rubber gloves. Loosen the ATF drain bolt by turning it counterclockwise with a 10mm Allen Key or a 10mm hex head socket. Draining Out Old ATF Fluid Still Dripping After 5 Minutes Inspect Metal Washer Allow the old automatic transmission fluid to drain out for at least a few minutes or until the flow slows to an occasional drip. The fluid in my 2010 Corolla was still steadily dripping out in a small stream after five minutes, so I let it continue draining for about 15 minutes total. Inspect the old metal washer on the drain bolt and replace it if necessary. (Contact your dealership for a replacement washer. I believer that the crush washer gasket part number is Toyota 90430-18008.) Line Up Drain Bolt Clean ATF Fluid Pan Spin In Bolt Clockwise Clean off the ATF pan with a clean rag and re-insert the drain bolt. Spin in the drain bolt a few turns by hand in the clockwise direction to prevent it from becoming cross threaded. Still Dripping More Old Fluid Tighten With 10mm Allen Key Drain Bolt Replaced Once I spun in the drain bolt a few turns, more fluid began dripping out. So I allowed it to drain for a few extra minutes. Tighten the drain bolt in the clockwise direction with the 10mm Allen Key or 10mm hex head socket to just past hand tight or about 36 ft-lbs of torque. Try to avoid over tightening the drain bolt to prevent from stripping the threads or damaging the aluminum pan. Gallon Bottle - Half Quart Lines Almost 3 Quarts Drained Out Remove Fluid Dipstick Carefully pour the old transmission fluid from the catch basin in to the gallon jug marked with half quart lines. (To create a measuring bottle, just pour in 2 cups (1/2 quart) of water in to a gallon jug and mark the levels until you reach 4 quarts.) You should have about 3.1 U.S. quarts of old ATF in the jug. On some model years (such as possibly the 2009 Corolla) with a slightly different version of the U341E 4 speed automatic transmission, you might only drain out about 2.6 U.S. quarts. I spilled some fluid and had a few ounces slosh out of the catch basin, so I estimated that I drained out about 3.05 U.S. quarts out of the transmission. Remove the transmission fluid dipstick, wipe it clean and set it aside in a safe place. Insert Automotive Funnel ATF WS $6.50-$10 Per Quart Pour In New Transmission Fluid Insert a small automotive funnel in to the transmission dipstick hole. This 2010 Toyota Corolla S with the 1.8L 2ZR-FE I4 engine and the U341E automatic transaxle has an ATF fluid specification for a drain and refill of 3.1 U.S. quarts (2.93 Liters or 2.58 Imperial Quarts).
On some model years of the Corolla with the U341E A/T, the drain and refill capacity is only 2.6 U.S. quarts. (The "service fill" capacity for the U250E 5 speed manual transmission is 3.7 U.S. quarts.) Slowly pour in only about 3 U.S. quarts of the new Toyota ATF WS in to the transmission fluid dipstick hole. It is far better to have slightly less fluid that necessary in the transmission than to overfill it. Lower Car From Stands Check Fluid Level - Hot Max Replace ATF Dipstick Temporarily replace the transmission dipstick while you perform the following steps to check the transmission fluid level. 1. Turn on the engine. The ATF fluid level should be somewhere between the two notches that indicate the "HOT" range on the dipstick. If the fluid level is far below the "HOT" range, turn off the engine and slowly pour in more ATF fluid and repeat the process until the level on the dipstick reaches the correct range. I poured in just over 3 U.S. quarts of new Toyota ATF WSfluid to replace the amount that I had drained and measured with the gallon jug. The level on the dipstick was almost at the top of the "HOT" range. I'd recommend checking the ATF fluid level again after your next trip. Be sure to record the transmission fluid change in your vehicle's service records.

If you drive manual, most manufacturers will recommend changing your transmission fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. If you have automatic, you can typically boost that range up to 60,000 to 100,000 miles. There's no harm in changing your fluid early.
How often should Toyota transmission fluid be changed?Toyota recommends that vehicles featuring an automatic transmission have their fluid changed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. Vehicles with manual transmissions should have their fluid changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles.
Does a Toyota Corolla need a transmission flush?If you don't change your Toyota Corolla transmission fluid, your transmission will have broken metal shavings and added corrosive material spread throughout the meaningful components of your Toyota Corolla. You should constantly check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals.
Does a 2013 Toyota Corolla have a transmission dipstick?Wipe off the dipstick with a clean rag, just as you would do when checking the engine oil. Reinsert the dipstick, then remove the dipstick again to check the fluid level. If you need to top it off, be sure to use the recommended transmission fluid.
