how bout posting the thread when you have the tsib ready?

 

i said 10mins cause i was busy, bt here you go

 

How do you konw if your car is one of the ones that is effective by this?

How do you go about getting the different transmission oil in? Just head to the Lexus dealership and show them **** print out?

 

you check your vin number. this only applys to the manual tranny

 

How do you know if yer vin is before or after the one posted?

The letters throw me for a loop here :P

 

im not sure just bring this tsib to the dealer if ur going to check it out. i 4got which number it was suppose to be

 

mine is a 07 and it still got gear noise!

 

I think they all make some noise. Mine makes noise from 1st to 2nd; but its a "mechanical" sound--not grinding. I brought this TSB to my dealer when my car had about 3k miles on it and they said it would only cost about 30 bucks to change the oil; but they recommended I just do it at 15-20k.

 

yea they told me to do it at 30k wit the APLI GL-5 gear oil

 

I did mine at 15K with Mobil 1 75W-90 GL-5 oil due to the gear noise/notchy 2nd gear. I would suggest using synthetic oil, dealer charged me $115, I have no idea why they quoted you $30, that doesn't even cover their labor technician rate!!

 

cool .....thanks for the info!

 

2>1, 3>2, 4>3, etc, etc.

Ignore the letters.

 

Just be sure it is suitable for transmissions. Not all gear oils are. Many have an anti-friction additive for hypoid drive gears that will make your synchros very unhappy. I would use Red Line MT-90 since it is synthetic, API GL-5, and does not have the sulfur EP additives the synchros hate.
