Lexus LS460 Sealed transmission ATF WS Drain and Fill how to guide check the level the right way

[@Itsjustblue247]

I would love to do this one time on my car I know the dealer won’t do it as good as this in reference to the full fluid change

[@chrishamby86]

I had my local independent Toyota/Lexus shop do a drain and fill for mine at 150k miles along with coolant and diff. Hopefully I'm good until 200k. I'm still burning a quart of oil every 1k-1.5k miles. It's the only thing I keep a pretty close eye on at this point. I still keep looking for fun at 2016-2017 model years which seem to be the absolute best for the 460

If it’s gets worse with the oil consumption could be bad piston rings that’s locked in position which is digging a groove in you engine block unfortunately when this happens you have to replace the short block big job had to do it on mines same problem 2012 Ls430L AWD😢

@Itsjustblue247 I've been using treatment at every oil change and it seems to be slowly going up between needing to add oil as carbon build up gets cleaned out. The independent mechanic says it's pretty normal on this engine and has zero worries. My plan is to keep it for another 50k miles. It's meticulously maintained and cared for so when I do sell it I want it to go to someone who will really appreciate it

Just sent my 430 ecu to get repaired for the hard downshifts

The most stupidest idea for cars transmission to be changed. When they can make it so easy .manufacturer always try to make things difficult.

More money for the dealers and manufacturers

[@alfredoibarra9825]

If no issues and simply doing for maintenance, measure what you take out and fill with same amount of new fluid. For Toyota stick with Toyota fluid and gasket and filter if dropping pans and replacing filter.

@@alfredoibarra9825 but you don't know if the level inside is correct or not

[@jimmyaber5920]

Fluid has some fraction volatile component and can be low with no leakage. Also it may not have been at correct level from new or from a service in the past.
