Guys,

I've hit 125k, not sure if the oils have been changed in my diff & gearbox, car is ten years old.

Lexus recommend every ten years or 100k so I'm well overdue!

Any guides I'm changing these oils

Diff looks simple when I had a look at the motor on the ramp, any guides for both would be useful though

Cheers all

I think in both cases, all you have to do is undo the drain plug (make sure you can loosen the fill plug before you drain it though...)

Then once it's empty, just put the drain plug back in, and fill it up until it reaches the level of the fill plug.

Any idea of the tool/size required mate?
Looked like an Allan key when I looked a few weeks ago
