I am the recent owner of a nice little 1996 Tercel manual trans. with
72K miles. The car is in great shape. It had its 60K mile service before I bought it, but the one thing that dealer did not do was change the transaxle oil. So I brought it to my local Toyota dealer today to have the transaxle oil changed. The dealer charge was $79.95. The dealer said that the job is more labor-intensive than an engine-oil change. My bullshit meter went off, but I paid for the job anyway. I'm thinking about contacting the service manager to "discuss" the charges.My understanding is that changing the transaxle oil is not much harder than a simple engine oil change. Any thoughts? Thanks.
