Headlight is so clear I'm jealous

Thanks! I buffed them out, took 20 minutes. I used a wool pad on a rotary polisher and 3m step #1. I detail cars for a living.

Thanks for the video, dead easy job to do, I have changed both transaxles at 105,000 miles. Old fluid fairly clean, no metallic sludge on the magnetic drain plugs. I bought 8 litres of Mannol Toyota/Lexus OEM oil and have, I guess, about 2 litres left. It comes in 4 litre cans. (1 US Qt= 0.946 litres.)

The 2007 RX350 rear differential location is around there but the drain and fill nuts are bit harder to find. It takes ONE quart of genuine Toyota 75W-85 GL-5 oil with slippage additive.

Kool dude tks that really helps❤

[@stephietz]

Can you show where to add the fluid in the front?

[@DariusAncerevicius]

Thank you, very helpfull!

[@jameslucop4503]

Hi - I just had the CVT fluid changed in my RX400h. I didn’t realise the rear needed changing too. The vehicle has 112k miles. I should probably get the rear done too then?! Thanks 😬

[@MrKeenan3325]

This car had 180k when I bought it. I don’t think anyone had done it. The front was really dirty and the rear was surprisingly alright. Toyota says it’s a “lifetime” fluid but not really. I’d check your maintenance schedule. Never hurts to do it.

[@jameslucop4503]

Keenan Slagel thank you very much! I’ve heard this a few times now - that the rear fluid is usually alright, lasts longer than the front. My mechanic today told me that the CVT fluid was not too bad (112k) - but I feel loads better for getting it done. I might have the rear done the next time the car is in, so no emergencies right now. I don’t believe the ‘lifetime’ claim either. I think they mean ‘lifetime of the transmission’ = 100k / 10 years. For the low cost, it’s good preventative maintenance. Cheers dude 👍😬

[@rohanpeiris4411]

Is there a possibility of gears slipping after oil change? I presume that the transfer case has an electric motor and several sets of planetary gears.

[@MrKeenan3325]

I’ve driven 6k miles and feels just fine

[@lavazza.vinzenzo]

@@MrKeenan3325 6000 ???

[@MrKeenan3325]

“K” is an abbreviation for thousand, so yes 6000

[@tengzturiagaiii3185]

Does the amount of fluid is when it goes over flow?

[@lambert2000]

I can not find the 2006 RX 400H front drain bolt ?who Know it ?thanks !

[@viklacika]

Hi. Is it the same oil for front like the rear?

[@MrKeenan3325]

Yes sir!

[@whikel33]

How liter is need to differencial?

[@MrKeenan3325]

4 for the front and 2 for the rear but buy an extra quart

[@tengzturiagaiii3185]

Is this the same as 2006 rx330?

[@MrKeenan3325]

They both have the CVT in the front but I'm not sure if the rear. You could crawl under and look.

[@lavazza.vinzenzo]

ce qui est dommage sur le Toyota Lexus c est la rouille des châssis et difficile a traiter selon l age ,l huile long life ca n existe pas donc,,,

[@michaelney7006]

Vincenzo, J'ai utilise le melange Waxoyl, de cire et huile. Appliquee sur le chassis ca protege contre la rouille
