My Yaris was given to me by a family member that purchased it new, and never serviced the trans. I got it with 121,000 miles on the clock - so I did it myself. My Buddy that owns a transmission shop just happened to come over in the middle of me changing the fluid. My initial intent was to do a drain and fill, but he talked me into dropping the pan and filter. Boy was I happy he did. The OEM filter was nearly plugged. Black stuff was all over it inside.... it was clearly doing its job.
I live about 35 miles from his shop, so we just got a filter and gasket kit from O'Reilly. Not a very high quality set, but better than what I was dealing with. I am going to change it again in a couple months with a Toyota filter, but I thought I'd share that info with you.
Also of note... I used Valvoline Maxlife in it, and it drastically improved shifting. I also needed just under 5 quarts to fill it. I am guessing that the converter drained some out as well - because it sat draining for an hour or so while I went to the part store.
