What year of Corolla is this? If the ATF is black you will certainly have to change it. In fact change ASAP. Use only Toyota fluids as you do this, I believe the 2007 Corolla is Type IV ATF while the power steering is ATF Dextron III. But to be sure check the PS reservoir cap and the ATF dipstick. Toyota usually writes the recommended fluids there. Hope this helps
