I wouldn't drop the pan just to clean the magnets, if the gasket is not easy to come by. They can hold quite a bit of shavings.

That's good to hear CT Scott. Since I'm doing a flush at 50,000 km and the next will be done at 100,000 km so just wanna make sure that a simple drain refill will be fine and wanted your input as our conditions here are hot and dusty.

While we're on the subject of the CVT flush for the VItz (K410) transmission, I'm attaching a pic of the port that many have used to refill the CVT fluid. Can you identify this port?
