    interesting, everything i have ever heard/read is that toyota calls it 'lifetime'. not, 'change it at 120k under ideal conditions'.

    nice write up, but i think you should fill it until it runs out, not to the level of the old fluid. i see he mentions this afterward.

    sorry, never heard of a 'transmission counter', can you post a pic?

    Yeah, I wonder version of Prius he owns and what manual he's reading. None of that jibes with my US versions.

    I agree, fill it to full on level ground (3.9 qt) and don't worry about a counter. Unless of course you have one, then like Bisco says, a picture would be nice.

    It's not my write up, I just found it online haha.

    I was just wondering if you guys knew anything about this "trans fluid counter" because I had never heard of it either.

    @andrewclaus
    I think you may be correct in that maybe he is from a different country and maybe his version of the vehicle does have this "trans fluid counter"

    sorry, it sounded like you had located it, but couldn't figure out how to reset it.:)
