Default Tranny flush or just filter change

I have a 2008 gs350 with 129xxx miles
got it used from a Toyota dealer and I’m trying to do as much maintenance as possible.
Is it best to flush and change filter or just change filter?
cant check fluid as it’s a “sealed” tranny.

+1 on the drain and fill. Supposedly a full flush can break debris free and cause problems down the road. I played it safe and just did a drain and fill, no issues at all 20k later.
