It has a CVT, right??

If so, can somebody give me a link to a good cvt fluid?

What is the interval for change?
 
Is it the hybrid or the gas engine model? The hybrid has a CVT while the I4 and V6 have a conventional 6-speed automatic.
These have "lifetime fluid" although I replaced my '12's WS at a dealer at 60k just for peace of mind. As another data point, our '10 Sienna (also with "lifetime fluid") hasn't seen any trans service whatsoever in its 225k miles, and still shifts quite well - no issues with it, and I have no qualms about having followed the book on (not) changing it. I just happened to do the Camry's to make myself feel better, but it's probably not necessary.

its regular inline 4. Thanks for the help everyone!
 
That means a conventional automatic (no CVT) that uses Toyota WS fluid, if you did happen to want to change it, though the spec is that it's lifetime fluid.
WS is known to oxidize quite quickly, I would recommend changing it, there is no fluid that cannot break down.

The Hybrid... Toyota calls it an eCVT, but it's not really a CVT in the traditional sense. Like a traditional automatic, there are no belts or pulleys, just a planetary gearset within the "power split device". The way it works with MG1 and MG2 results in operation that mimics a CVT though.
