I went to Toyota dealer in Kuwait and i Loved the new 2021 Camry SE So i asked the seller about the warranty and maintenance cost.
1st to my Surprised he told me They never offer transmission fluid service because the new Camry transmission fluid is a lifetime !!
2nd I asked them to provide me with Owner Manual to confirm if this information is true But He refused to provide me with the book unless i buy the car .
3rd the seller told me if i try to do a transmission fluid change my self then they will revoke the 5 year warranty.
I own a CAMRY 2010 SE and i change my Transmission fluid every 80,000 kilometre and so far no problem .
i want to buy 2nd Camry but they will revoking the warranty for Transmission fluid change.
IS there a way to prevent them from revoking the warranty ?
Buy from another dealer that does not do that.
sorry for not mentioning this but its they only Toyota dealer in whole Kuwait and i heard that its the only one you can buy a new car from.
Get a used one: You save money without any headache regarding the dealer nonsense.
Check the legislation about that in your country. Do you have any consumer related association there? They probably can help.
thanks for the answer and il try to contact consumer protection tomorrow But i kinda don't have faith in them in 1st place but its worth to try.
That seems like alot of rubbish. The manual is supposed to come with the car. You can most likely find a copy online aswell.
an update to my story:
as for consumer protection they told me in case a transmissions problem arise and the dealer refuse to fix it then i can sue them During the 5 year warranty .
i'm in catch -22 situation so i gave up on buying a new toyota cars.
i Thank you all who respond.
they didnt say void in the warranty, but they probably have the right not to honor the warranty if you do it yourself
"In an emergency, where an authorized Toyota dealer is not
reasonably available, you may have the repair performed by a
licensed technician at an established service facility. Every effort
should be made to use Toyota Genuine Parts in order to maintain
the quality and warranty coverage for your vehicle. If non-Toyota
parts are used, Toyota will assume no liability for any resultant
damage or failure. In either circumstance, Toyota recommends
that you have the repair inspected by a Toyota dealer"

That is for Toyota Canada. He is in Kuwait.
You should probably start by actually READING the warranty to answer your question.
didnt see anything about servicing the transmission in the owners manual, didnt read it all, 600 pages
i would not give up on toyota yet lol
it's not in there. It's in :
Owner's Manual Supplement (2.6MB)
Warranty, maintenance and roadside assistance information
