    I recommend to change the transoil at 100.000km and the spartplugs can go at least 150.000 to 200.000km
    But you can find these things in other topics on the forum.

    It certainly may. Toyota did not specify an interval, so we are all just making up our own.

    An early transaxle fluid change is what I'd recommend, even at 10,000 mile or 12 months it'll come out suprisingly dark. Then you can stretch it. The second change will likely be a lot cleaner.
