I have booked an appointment tomorrow at the maintenance agent in my location, he will change the CVT transmission oil in addition to the filter, he told me that it is better to change the filter with the oil because this would extend the life of the transmission in addition to that when changing the filter, a larger amount of transmission fluid will come out, allowing the replacement of More quantity of it as a results. But my question now is how can they change the transmission fluid while it is hot, and I don't think they will wait until the transmission cools down completely, does that hurt the transmission or not, frankly, the issue is really confusing
From what I've seen they're supposed to set the fluid level at a certain fluid temperature.

Nothing to laugh about, the Toyota Corolla takes only less tha 10 secs to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour, which is not so bad, In addition to the fact that the acceleration of the car occurs steadily and not in the form of waves as in other cars, and I did not mean that it is a Ferrari, this type of transmission is what will prevail in the future,
Totally agree as your ride is still 30 seconds quicker 0-60 than every Prius I've been stuck behind for one reason or another.

Thank you all for your concern, today I went to a Toyota service center, and they changed the transmission oil for about 4 liters, and they also changed the filter, and they told me to change it again at 120,000 km, I think my procedure was a little early, but it undoubtedly gave me confidence and peace of mind The funny thing is that they did not have the original fluid ( FE ) for the transmission, but rather they had something equivalent from Korean production (CEFX), so I had to buy them the original oil from the market to add it to my car, I was so stubborn that they gave up and gave me special permission to bring the original oil from the local market LOL.
