Trans Fluid Change? "NO"
#61
I have a 2007 Lexus LS460 and never had a transmission fluid change. The car now has 182k miles and still running smooth with no issue ... knock on wood. This shows that the concept of "life time fluid" for Lexus is true ... to me, this car life should easily last 300k miles and if that is the case, transmission should be ok without fluid change. I think we should not think of life-time as eternity ... no such car !

with all those materials worn off and floating around the transmission fluid pan, there’s much higher possibilities damaging the many check ***** and fluid pathways in the valve body. (also look at my post on my pan drop showing how much worn material is in the pan at one 86k miles)
Also did you not see the many other owners from other countries taking pictures of their owner’s manual showing the requirement of changing the transmission fluid in shorter intervals?

which is your absolute right. My Lexus dealer routinely does trans backflushes and fluid changes. Literally thousands over the years.
South county lexus in mission Viejo, ca is a Berkshire Hathaway owned store which is warren buffet. Fancy area. Well off customers.
Like was stated out of the USA the trans service interval is 60k miles. For advertising purposes Lexus allegedly wanted to show how inexpensive their luxury cars were to service..
mine shifted noticeably smoother after the backflush and the drained fluid was very dark with wear particles.
