Re: Corolla'01 AT fluid replace interval

Here's the response I got from Toyota, if anyone's interested:

Thank you for contacting Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you with your inquiry.

If you are not operating your vehicle under severe operating
conditions, it is recommended your fluids be inspected and if
necessary replaced at the recommended service intervals. We recommend
the transmission fluid be inspected and if necessary replaced as
recommended by your dealership every 30,000 miles. If your
transmission does not have the "ECT" switch it is recommended your
differential fluid be inspected and as necessary replaced every 15,000
miles.

It is recommended you inspect your brake fluid and replace only as
needed. The need to replace your brake fluid would be necessary if it
became contaminated or dirty.

If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact us.
