the new yaris AT is using special toyota ATF, u must use the toyota ATF for it, or it break down and no warranty.

u will be able to do a ATF drain n fill at a Toyota dealership but it won't be recommanded.

Yep, thats what I'm saying. The Automatics don't ever need ATF flush and fill... at least not a scheduled one, ever.

just put mobil one in on tuesday this week. tank had about 100 miles on it and first bar dropped at about the average time. 2nd and 3rd dropped up a few miles early after the oil change, but now i'm still sitting at 4 bars on the gas guage w/248 miles on the tank...i think thats the best ever! we'll just have to wait and see for a few tanks to see if the synthetic helps out in the mileage dept. - i think the engine is just about broken in now too at 4400 miles. i'm excited!
