With 60k miles on the clock, I was wondering if it was time to change the transmission fluid. I checked the service manual, and it says to change it only under severe conditions; it is not a part of regular maintenance.

Is it a good idea to change it now (I drive mostly freeway), or is it unnecessary?

Thanks.

have you EVER chnage the fluid? if, yes when? If not, why?

What year & model Lexus do you drive?

'99 GS4 & no I have never changed the fluid.

I'd change it.....make sure you replace the fluid with the correct fluid recommended by Lexus. Might want to consider a complete 100% fluid change as opposed to just a drain & fill.

I just got mine flushed at 54k miles. I don't drive the car much but living in NYC is an automatic ''extreme condition"

I recommend you do it pretty soon. Just get a drain and fill for about $30-$40. You owe it to your car.

What does your fluid look like?
