I know Toyota WS is a "lifetime" fluid. And I know about the shudder fix additive.
The dealer will exchange the full fluid for about $200+ (wouldn't bother doing this job myself since the fluid value is close to $100). Wondering if others have changed out the original after 200k, and what the results were.

Changed the Transmission fluid on my 03, 4 speed at 130k and 230k miles at the dealership. I'm at 236K now. Never had any issues with my transmission and I never towed anything.
You should have the transmission fluid changed at the Dealer and just confirm if its a flush or drain/refill and confirm the quarts needed for the work. I would guess they would do a flush, since its quick and easy.
FYI... My co-worker
had a 2008 RAVE 4 and he never changed the transmission fluid on it and the tyranny died on him at 250k miles on the OD. It was his commuter vehicle and he also thought the transmission fluid was "Lifetime".
