Chad and Huston at LexTechs did a great job. Huston used to work at Lexus so he knows this stuff very well. I would highly recommend these guys for any Lexus service (and for that matter Toyota as well). If you are stuck on Lexus Coffee and soft drinks then these guys keep that free for customers as well.

I have a low mileage car and I plan on not changing the fluid just like lexus says..........hopefully other people with higher miles can provide better info on the outcomes...I dont really worry about the tranny fluid because I have still yet to hear about a tranny going bad on a LS 430
