Default Last year for transmission dipstick?

Hello. Is 2009 the last year the RX350 had an UNsealed transmission? I’m looking at some used RX350’s and would prefer to be able to do drain and fills as opposed to take it to the dealer/mechanic. My goal is to get the last year they made it with a trans dipstick.

thank you.

I think you are correct about 2009 being the last year for a transmission dipstick. The transmission changed in 2010.

2006 to 2009 transmission model U151E/F was used.
In 2010 the transmission model is U660E

Plus the 2010 uses electric servo power steering, no pump and oil.
