Says the same for the 05 corolla.. But I'm going to ignore it
and change it every once in a while. The pan has a drain so
it's easy to change part of the fluid.
I don't think it would get it all, but if you do that every once
in a while, it should stay pretty clean.
I may change mine this oil change, which is just now due..
The light started flashing today for that..
I think I'm going to drain the ATF and refill while I'm
changing the oil. Mine doesn't look too dirty, but it's rolled
over 38k, and I think about due for a ATF fluid swap.
This will be my third oil change since about April..
Been racking the miles up. Over 14k since early March.

It is easy to do. 14mm wrench, drain fluid out, replace with 3 quarts of
fluid, Toyota is best, but Castrol makes an equivalent for about seven
bucks a quart. Changing the fluid is easier and cheaper than changing
the transmission due to a fluid failure IMHO.
