You can and should change the gear box oil. Toyota says it is a "sealed unit" that doesn't need servicing over the lifetime of the car, but don't buy it!
I change my a/t fluid after a long trip or if I've been towing for long periods, and I've done it at least 4 times in 147,000km, and I can tell you every time I've changed it, the old fluid has a very slight burnt smell to it.
If you haven't changed it and your Prado has 288,000km on it, I would get it changed asap!
Any decent mechanic can do this flush.
Make sure you get the mechanic to save the old fluid, and have a smell of it!
Good luck with it!
