Is it a nightmare task to change my 2004 Toyota Avensis automatic's transmission oil?
You have mentioned that changing oil in an auto box is like a type of dialysis. My 2004 Toyota Avensis T3 is an auto with conventional torque convertor. Is it a nightmare task and costly to have the oil changed in this model?

Same deal. Not a DIY job because unless the old ATF is pumped out at least a third of it will remain in the torque converter.

Solid car. Sophisticated multi-link suspension deliberately unstressed for long life. Quite quick T180 diesel from July 2006.
