If you do want to change it than a drain and fill is fine and much simpler than a flush. You can use the trans cooler lines to do your own flush but it likely is not needed, takes more time, is messier and costs more in fluid. I have used Valvoline Maxlife with all of my Toyota trans flushes as it is easily accessible to me locally and is cheaper than Toyota's stuff. Also Toyota's A/T doesn't appear to be a very robust fluid (unlike their oil) compared to Valvoline and others. There is a typical drain plug on the bottom of the pan that takes an 18mm crush gasket. I'd recommend replacing it when and if you drain the fluid as it is a pain is the ass to have to replace is if you find out it's leaking afterwards (ask me how I know). And lastly - do your Yaris a favour and go drive the sh*t out of it for a half hour.
