Ok great,I forget where I saw you,but,I knew there was something about you that struck me...:-)
Interesting on not changing the strainer/screen.Here is my situation.Bought at 52,000 miles in 2009. No history on any trans service and we are just under 170,000 k miles. Do you still think I should just leave the filter alone and do a couple of drain and fills at this point?

Yes you would. 
At that point you're just trying to extend the life of the transmission - you're unlikely to swap in a reman or parts-yard pick.

One last question.Doing a couple of d&d's in getting the most fluid out as possible, is it best do drain on a cold transmission or a warmed up transmission?

You can do either, but warm will drain faster and the level should be checked warm anyways. Don’t forget to shift through the gears after filling the rough amount of fluid, then fine tune fill it. Check the level in neutral or park.

Are we able to substitute AMSOIL ATF for Toyota WS? Any pros/cons I should be aware of before changing to AMSOIL ATF or should I straight drain/fill with only Toyota WS?

The fill plug has an o-ring which I am not replacing so I did not order it. If it is not torn when removing the plug,99.9% of the time it should be good. Someone else will probably chime in with a number for it.
