Hi all,
My 2011 Corolla is coming up on 28k miles, and when I do my 30k service, I plan to have the "lifetime, but not actually lifetime" fluid serviced. I've read numerous places that 30k is a good time to do it on this car, as the Toyota WS starts to go much quicker than many other brands, and I am ok with spending money a bit more frequently to keep my car in good running order.
My problem is this... I cannot find conclusive information as to whether or not I should have them do a drain & fill or flush. I know flush is more expensive, and I'm happy to pay if there is a benefit (getting more old fluid out, more new in), but I want to avoid any downsides there might be, or if it is negligible between the two.
If anyone has any insight, I'd appreciate your input.
Thanks,
SMC
