Mostly sound advice, but the maintenance manual considers the transmission fluid a "lifetime" fluid--something that virtually every member and Toyota mechanic disagrees with. Debating when to actually change that one is very reasonable IMO.
Will a 5th gen make it to 200k on original trans fluid? Most likely. Am I going to do that? No, lol
