i own a repair shop,,and its not recommended that the owner change the fluid,,that's why its not in the book,to change it you have to drop the pan and clean it all off,its a little harder than it sounds like it is to do,,you can mess up real easy without knowing it,and then your going to be out some money to get it repaired,,beside that its new it don't need changed yet,,let the dealer take care of it as long as its under warranty,good luck i hope this help,s.

If its like any other Toyota I've worked on... You drop the transmission pan to drain the fluid and add through the dipstick hole. You have to get one of those reallllly long pointy-tip funnels to get the fluid in there too.

If its a manual transmission you dont change the tranny fluid....otherwise just contact the parts department in your local toyota dealship they should be able to tell you.

Auto or manual? If Auto, how many miles on it and are you towing or carrying a lot of weight? Does it look or smell burned?
If Auto and there's no drain plug, then the pan does have to come off. While it's off, I would have someone install a drain plug on it.

Look for drain thingy on the trans itself and drain everything with your handbrake on. Don't change gears until you refill it under the hood!!!
