Naturally, Toyota says to use only "Toyota Long Life Engine Coolant or Equivalant". In laymans terms, the "or equivalant" means go the auto parts store and ask for "the pink stuff". They'll know what you mean even if you don't.
The 1997 Toyota Avalon transmission has a 60,000 mile manufacturer warranty. In most cases the transmission can be expected to last for 200,000 miles.
250,000 miles +/- depending on how much maintenance (like oil and filter changes, regular tune-ups, etc.) is done to it.
