2003 Lexus RX300 Transmission fluid

Topic starter

Hi, RX300 has 196,000 miles. Transmission seals were done at 83,000 miles and I'm thinking that they must have changed the fluid at that time. I never changed the fluid since then.  I'm not having any issues but feel it would be best to drain the fluid (not a flush) and add clean new original trany fluid the same amount that comes out. Should I do it? Thanks, Wayne

Yeah go ahead and do it. It will likely prolong the life of your transmission.

If it wasn’t ever changed, I wouldn’t do it. However, if it was changed at 83,000 miles, check the colour & condition of the fluid.

If it’s still clean & no debris, sure change it. But if its black & lots of particles, I’d just leave it alone.
