The fluid is easy to check on your own at home . Use the links posted earlier in this thread . There are 2 write up,s on how to do it .

Look what one of Our members said about getting the dealer to check the fluid on a sealed transmission under warranty posted below .
Maybe should check my level;always thought that it "shifted"funny,but was told by my dealer"it's normal,you don't drive it hard enough to shift different".First time time I was ever told that I didn't drive hard enough.Guess shoud have checked it before now{19,500 miles},but "assumed" that it was pdi'd and was checked.Of course,looked at the rear end plug,and transfer case plug,factory paint mark was never broken.Might add,I work for the company that owns the local Toyota dealer,and haven't been satified with some of the answers to things I have asked,so don't feal bad,we all get bad answers from them.
UPDATE:Just talked to "my"dealer about getting my truck in and having fluid checked.Was told there would be a charge for it.Then said"well that should have been checked on pdi",was then told"No,on sealed trans,it's not cheched,unless there's a leak,or some reason to check."Never heard of anything like that before.FYI everybody.

They do not check on PDI-I confirmed with my dealer. Also-I asked dealer about what other say about charging, Toyota can not charge a warranted truck to check your fluid if its showing signs of trouble. If you drive in off the street and randomly ask them to check fluid, they could charge you.

There is no charge and they do not check on PDI. The dealer said that if you randomly go in and ask them to check your fluid without presenting issues they could charge. They CAN NOT charge you (set by Toyota Policies) if you go in under warranty with a concern. they have to check the fluid as part of the warranty troubleshooting process.
