Can be changed at 60,000km to my knowledge if car is used in harsh conditions (i.e. stop & start , short trips)

Yeah tranny oil doesnt get dirty from combustion so it lasts much longer than engine oil.

60,000km-80,000km sounds about right :)

If you want to change it earlier, you can. You just have to pay them more money. But it is usually changed every 60,000km.

the service mechanic told me i have to change mine at 20,000km!! which modern car requires their ATF to be changed every 20,000km? I'm not bring my car back to them for servicing.

lol typical. I dont know why they try to rip us off like that, since we can easily refer to the user manual for servicing intervals :rolleyes:
