    No need to change the filter. It's good for the life of the vehicle. As far as fluid, most people do a drain and fill of the pan, about 4 qts. I drain and fill the pan, then pump out 2qts at a time from the cooler return line until it comes out looking new. Anywhere from 12-16qts total.

    Don't pull the trans pan if the truck has spent years on salty roads or if the bolts look corroded. You'll be in for a bad day if you start snapping bolt heads off.

    I agree with @Tbrandt if your truck is nothern truck don't even think about dropping the pan. Just a drain and fill. Also make sure you use the Toyota oem transmission fluid. And follow the exact procedure to drain the transmission oil.

    Some of the bolts are blind and will come out without much fuss even in the rusty states. The ones that you can see the ends of are the problem ones. With a little work they can be coaxed out. But you'll want to remove the rust on the threads and soak them a couple of times over the week before you try to remove them. I've replaced mine with stainless bolts so if they ever need to come out again it'll be easy.
