I have been told by garages that it is not good to change your gearbox oil frequently, hence the Lexus service schedule has only check levels ??

I was of the same opinion as changing oil seems to be good for the engine, why not the gearbox. I think they did say why at the time but can't remember now, will have to ask as annoying me now :confused1:

Mine really needed changing it was black and before some might say it normally reddish.
I dont think it had been changed before.
I will have the oil changed again next year just to make sure..

Air con did not need re-gassing so i ended up with a bill of £157 well pleased.
Cars has mot next month so hopefully it sorted for another year.

When my LS was in for a service in July at Lexus Woodford, I asked what the oil change intervals for the automatic gearbox and was told that none were specified. Could you let me know how much it costs as I would like mine done regardless of it's colour.

Many thanks.

That would be great if you could. My gearbox feels absolutly fine but it's a peace of mind thing. I do like to change my engine oil every six months with fully synthetic engine oil for peace of mind so a gearbox oil change would make me feel even better.
