It depends on fluid condition and service history: a drain-and-fill replaces the fluid in the pan, while an exchange replaces closer to the system’s total volume.

For the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander, we inspect fluid color/odor and check for codes before recommending either service. A drain-and-fill is often chosen for routine maintenance or cautious first steps on unknown history; a full exchange is considered when fluid is moderately degraded and the transmission is operating normally. We’ll document findings and discuss options.

• Visual fluid check and road test guide the recommendation
• Exchange aims for more complete fluid renewal when appropriate
