Hey Scotty I recently purchased an 01 4Runner Sport Utility  4x4 it had its transmission fluid flushed at 110,000 it now has 230,000 miles should I get it flushed again or leave it be? Thanks Scotty I found your videos at the perfect time. I almost financed a new Tesla  before I found them! Wound up buying the 4Runner outright for cheap and I love it!

This is asked a lot and is answered in the FAQs .

Transmission flushes aren't recommended as they can easily create problems. Your 4R had 2 done, one at 110K and again at 168K and it survived. The interval is good, the method is bad. So yes, change the fluid and filter. Just don't have it flushed.
