The manufacturer does not list a specific time to replace the fluid, but it does state to inspect it every 30,00 miles. Personally, I would replace it.

Toyota do not give service intervals as you say as they do have a sealed for life transmission. There is no reason not to change the oil, every twenty four months would not be out of the question, see picture for oil specs.
