`Great video man ! I also enjoy seeing your dogs watching you!!

[@cheecksclapper]

Great video I hope you see this comment I just purchased a 2014 gs 350 with about 130k miles and no idea if previous owners did maintenance on transmission should I do drain and fill or do filter as well thank you in advance

[@hormouzeisho1286]

Called local dealer, they told me it’s a sealed transmission lol. I’m glad I follow you, will be doing this soon to mine. Quick question, is that an app or obd2 reader? That helped you show the temps, Thanks!

[@BulletsGarage]

Yea they say it's a lifetime fluid which is bullshit. No fluid is lifetime. Especially on a performance car. I use a obd 2 tool called carista and obd fusion app

[@theylive2749]

I was told by my dealer that they don’t want to do it because when they flush the fluid it’s likely to stir up contaminants that will be leftover floating around in the new fluid.

[@BulletsGarage]

Flush and drain and fill are two very different things

[@hormouzeisho1286]

@@BulletsGarage I seen another video, where the guy drains the oil, then removes the straw and that drained more oil out.

[@BulletsGarage]

Yes thats the overflow plug I did that also but I didn't film it by accident. Did u watch the whole video I said that

[@pirihern9329]

very helpful. muchas gracias no worries todo esta chuchi. gonna be doing my son's 2011 lexus is250 awd with 150,000 miles

[@I-lRyze]

does the 2015 rc 350 have the same transmission can i do this the same way?

[@willbill4874]

So my question is.... Background unfo: I have a 14 Lexus GS350 Fsport(AWD) and I'm at 90k first time replacing A/T fuild. I bought the car used at 60k. Car was hot when draining and got out 5qts so put in 5qts but fill plug started to over flow before putting back what was out.did gear steps then Got the temp to 127°f opened overflow plug and lost about 1 1/2qt and closed cause the stream was still heavy flow....do you think it was over filled the 1st someone else did it or did I miss something???

[@vuahung33]

Hello,love your DIY videos. Any chance you have the parts numbers for those crush washer? Thanks

[@BulletsGarage]

No I don't off hand

[@Danoie67]

I always work in sandals..super important! Where did you the jack stands? Run it hard...every 30,000? What if I drive long distance and drive gentle? 50,000 mile change? Thanks bro. great video.

[@BulletsGarage]

Stands from amazon. 30k no matter how u drive

[@Danoie67]

How easy is to to replace the Belt? I have 60,000 on the IS.

[@BulletsGarage]

Drive belt? Easy.

[@Danoie67]

Loosen tensioner....' Take old belt off..... Put new belt on...... Work from Top or Bottom?

[@BulletsGarage]

Both top n bottom pro to make it eaisr

[@stephenrand5033]

If I was to do a fluid flush and refill for my 2014 gs350 with 105k on it should I just do the flush and refill or should I take the pan off and replace filter as well

[@BulletsGarage]

Drop the filter

[@mechanickiwi4116]

The WS fluid does not stay red for long, perfectly normal color.

[@yass123]

Did you notice any improvement in shifting? Mine hesitates to shift from 1st to 2nd in heavy traffic. Wondering if this might fix it?

[@BulletsGarage]

I did notice a improvement in shifts. It's smoother shifting. Seems like it shifts faster. Down shifts are smoother. And the 4 to 5 gear rpm jump is gone that I been having in a cold car

[@niktozero5944]

Good job! Did it yesterday on my RC F. Additionally, I changed the filter and gasket.

[@BulletsGarage]

Nice. How hard was it do to do the gasket and fiter? Where did u get the gasket and filter from?

[@tanmamba24]

I did mines also but wait until 50k you car filter and gasket still good IMO.. You can get Parts from dealer. Watch this video to get an idea. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6ineYpvgcmAlZY

[@niktozero5944]

I did it just by lifting the front part. I bought the gasket and filter online using the part number.

[@The_Unsuitable]

When do you guys drain and fill the transmission? My rcf is in storage and only has 1700 miles but I’m curious?

[@niktozero5944]

Nikolay Todorov First time changed at 40k miles. Then I'm going to do the same. Much depends on the riding style. You can unscrew the overflow plug a little and check the color of the oil. If it's dark, you need to change it now.

[@willbill4874]

Same thing happened to me.... I asked for both differential crush washers and crush washers plus gusket for A/T. Did my differentials first and was left with 2 washers.... ima finish watching and I have my to possibly ask....

[@ukaszsl.6242]

Hi!! My 2015 rcf have only 6k miles, when should I hange transmission fluid ? Thanks for your vids.

[@BulletsGarage]

At 20k

[@ukaszsl.6242]

Thanks, i think I wilk do the full change with filter. What do you think?

[@BulletsGarage]

Why not it's cheap and u will get more fluid out

[@costantineyoussif6679]

your dogs is cute, nice video buddy would you recomend me changing mine at 110mi on 08 lexus gs350 trans oil never has changed ? or is it risky ? thanks for your time

[@BulletsGarage]

I would still do a drain and fill. It will only drain about 3 quarts.

[@costantineyoussif6679]

@@BulletsGarage thanks for your fast respond that’s what I’ll be doing this Thursday and hopefully everything goes well, I wasn’t really sure about taking the pan down and change also the trans filter and get more dirt oil out , but I’ll be just more satisfy with drain n fill cheers mate

[@BulletsGarage]

Yea do drain and I'll first

[@costantineyoussif6679]

@@BulletsGarage also I’ll be changing the fluid from Toyota ws atf to amsoil signature full synthetic, have u had any experience With amsoil oil before ?

[@BulletsGarage]

Yes I use amsoil but since u have such high milage I would use the Toyota Ws

[@BarnStangz]

Thanks for the video fellow GS F brother! My car is only at 12K miles, I'll probably change it at 15K next summer.

[@BulletsGarage]

Good plan.

[@niktozero5944]

The first time is best no later than 40 k miles. Transmission manufacturer Denso recommends changing the fluid every 30k if you intend to own the car for a long time.

[@BulletsGarage]

I agree the sooner the better.

[@D.rexofficial]

Im getting the same high rpms from 4th to 5th gear when engine is cold… did this fix the problem bc my rcf is almost at 50k miles and i will being doing a trans oil change soon

[@BulletsGarage]

No sit still does it. I guess it's just normal

[@D.rexofficial]

@@BulletsGarage good to know thanks man thanks for this video say me a ton for the dealer

[@Funorigamikid]

But brown doesnt mean it's broken right?

[@BulletsGarage]

Brown means the fluid is taken a beating. And is slightly burnt. Should be nice n red color

[@biopledgiance]

A photo of which plug is the overfill drain plug would be massively helpful. I wanted to do this method but there are no sources or photos online.

[@BulletsGarage]

I shown it in the video

[@adamerdos3916]

Hey, I have a rc200t 119k km (74k Miles). As far as I know it's the same transmission. I live in Hungary and the dealers here are really bad so I will do it myself. What's your recommendation? Should I just drain and fill for 2-3 times or should I remove the pan and change the filter too?

[@JamesFelder-xl8rb]

😊

[@maher5829]

Hello, when I measured the oil level, the car engine on or off

[@BulletsGarage]

On

[@wildcard749]

what is this lift you used to jack up the car? i wanna do my atf but iono how to make sure its level

[@BulletsGarage]

These are quick jacks. Just google quick jacks. The way I check to make sure the car is level is when it’s up I get under the car and I legit take a level and put it on the transmission pan and see if it’s flat or not

[@vuahung33]

Hey did you have to replace the ATF filter? I did not see that part of video. Thanks

[@BulletsGarage]

Not this time. That u have to drop the pan for

At this point it's pro not a good idea to change it because the old fluid has been there so long. The new fluid could cause the Trans to slip

What problem u having

[@adrianmanjarrez7200]

@@BulletsGarage from first to second in high rpms whines like if slipping, I noticed one time it neutralize for couple of second on the freeway just stuff like that acting weird. I was reading on the web and there are saying the 8 speed transmission is junk. actually they have a law suit against Toyota for that.

[@BulletsGarage]

Please send me the link saying the transmission is junk. That is not true. The transmission is very solid. And very few if any Ppl reported issues. The wine you hear is normal and it pro not from the transmission. If anything have the dealer do a flush

[@BulletsGarage]

Those transmissions they are talking a out are not the ones in the rcf and gsf. It's a completely different design then an 8 speed sienna Trans.

@@BulletsGarage yeah you right. But since I am having some of the symptoms they mentioned there. I was concerned about it. I will change the oil in my transmission hopefully solve my problems. Thanks.

I only did it thanks to your video!! So thank you man. I'm so glad I did it. Gonna do it again in 10k to get more fresh fluid in. It's so much smoother now.

[@thehuangbros]

@@BulletsGarage Yeah I did it cold and only 2 quarts came out then did it again with it warm and 2.7 quarts came out. I did it with like 1k miles interval apart but probably should have waited like you are otherwise it is a waste of fluid.

Yea ur video pushed me to do it. But yea around 8-10 k I'll again until I get nice red fluid in there.
