I'm from the UK, 4yrs on & i got a 2015 Yaris 1.3L CVT, did have a 2002 Yaris 1.3L 4speed auto that i used T4 ATF & only done 2x drain & fill in 14yrs of ownership,changed it in 2012 & sold it on in 2021,the trans is still shifting lovely. I still talk to the new owner 4yrs on & he still loves it to this day! It takes about 2L each drain as i got a 5L bottle £55 (2012) direct from Toyota. I also changed the coolant but with Prestone every 4 yrs,3x of ownership....no head gasket issues,doesn't leak,overheat nothing. My new Yaris i've changed the CVT fluid 2x in 4 yrs,1st in 2021 & recently Feb 2025. Got it from ebay in 2021 £60 & in 2025 £70. It takes 2.2l each drain on both occasions so it is real clean inside. Won't do a drain till 5yrs now....the year 2030. I'm using Prestone on this too, 4L for £20 (ebay) & it takes under 2L. I did fill with deionised water (£2) to get most pink coolant out. Go with prestone,it'll last longer!
