Your friend is right that there is no dipstick. However, this is a CVT transmission and unfortunately you do have to change the oil every 2 years or 40,000 km. The power steering is electric, that is why it uses no fluid. CVT transmission operateres at much higher tempereture than conventional transmission, so chances are the oil will break down faster than normal oil. A special oil is also needed for this transmission as well. You will have to get it machine change which will replace the exact amount of oil that is taken out. A note for all automatic transmission car owners, if you want to extend the life of your transmission and ATF fluid as well, install an additional oil cooler. Heat is what destroys the tramsmission more than any other factor. By installing the additional cooler you can reduce the ATF temp as much as 20 degrees. This can be difference between your transmission lasting 2 or 3 times longer as well as your fluid.

I have a 2004 toyota fielder. Is it the same? I think I have a ATF dip stick. Its a kinda red dip stick with a clap on the top of it???? I carried it today to change the Transmission fluid.
