I have been advised at my Toyota dealership where I do maintenance, to have a transmission fluid exchange done. The manual doesn’t mention this as recommended on the Toyota website. Confusing. Independent reviews suggests that with the pressurized system they use to do this draining of fluid can actually dislodge particles distributing them elsewhere other than in the draining fluid, that later are found to have “ gummed up the workings.

Anyone have insight on this issue?
Thanks in advance!
