I am a tech at Toyota and our dealer recommends a drain and fill with filter replacement at 15k and then every 30k after that. One of the few dealerships I have ever seen that don't try and sell you on the flush. The whole lifetime fluid thing is a sales gimmick, while synthetic fluid lasts a lot longer it doesn't last forever and better to be safe then sorry.
