Transmission Fluid Change
 
As my 2012 Camry SE approaches 56,000 miles, I thought that it maybe time to change the transmission fluid. So I looked at the Camry 2012 "Warranty and Maintenance Guide" and to my surprise there is no mention of changing the transmission fluid as a maintenance step. Do you know of an alternative maintenance schedule? Do you know where the transmission fluid dipstick is located? I used to own a 97 camry and it was right in the engine compartment in the front.

Manual or automatic?
Most modern transmissions are 'sealed' and there is no dip stick to check fluid.
The change interval is something like 100K miles if memory serves me correctly.

Thank you. It is an automatic 6 speed. Things have come a long way since my other Camry. I could not find a change interval in the "Warranty and Maintenance Guide" but 100,000 sounds reasonable. Thanks again.

No problem, my pleasure.
