    I have been changing the transaxle ATF at 30K mile intervals.

    Some owners have advocated an early ATF change (at 10K-30K miles) followed by 60K mile changes.

    I changed mine at 30k, and will probably change it again at 60k, 90k, etc.

    I changed mine for the first time at 30k. It was still bright red and clean.

    I changed mine at 52K and it looked pretty bad, I set the auto reminder to 68K so it will be done at the 120K mark. This fluid definitely doesn't live up to its name, World Standard. But I feel Toyotas SLLC does live up to its name. as mine still looks new(ish) after 8 years.
