No need to change the transmission fluid... it's "lifetime" after all.

Transmission Refill vs Flush at 60K miles

wondering if anyone has any expertise on the matter.
just had my fluid drained and refilled, but the mec just did a measure of fluid out approximately (1,9L) and added ~2 bottles (2L). no temp check and and overflow.
2013 es350 has 6.5 transaxle capacity i believe.
how precise should the fluid in and out be? would 0.1 L difference be a cause for concern?

And you mechanic added a little extra, so perhaps that would composite for the temp difference if it was hot.
But in keeping with the spirit if this thread...YES, I would do either a drain and fill or full flush every 50,000 miles on this transmission. And I’d even do a pan drop and filter replacement. If the fluid level is done properly it will only help with the shift quality longterm. These are great transmissions and cheap to buy if something fails...and they’re cheap because supply and demand. They don’t have problems, so they are cheap and available on the used market.

I went make to re-read all the post because you stated that I brought no value. I thought I must have missed your previous post that brought value quoting studies, test and engineering reports about how Lexus is wrong about not changing the fluid. I see nothing but your rhetoric from your one post. You must have forgot to post these factual comments. Please enlighten us with your scientific findings. WAITING...........

I sure you are kidding with your post that is actually funny. I personally can provide no value you are correct. What I can do is forward information from someone trained by Lexus, has 21 years experience working on them and overseeing a huge service department and has been trained at the Lexus transmission factory in Detroit which is a world more experience then anyone else posting their opinion. If you do not see the difference then just WOW. You keep changing your fluid.
