Fantastic work man! I did the same to mine about 5 years ago and have driven 70,000kms since with no issues. In fact, it was a great improvement in shift quality and smoothness. It had never been changed before and was sitting at 260,000kms. The fluid was black/brown. It took me about 12 drain and refills to get to about 90% new fluid in the transmission and on the final drain, I dropped the pan and replaced the filter. It is a very tedious method, as you inevitably drain some of the new fluid each time it mixes through. The more new fluid there is, the more of it you will drain, but it is the safest method. Key is to keep on doing it until the colour of the fluid coming out is the same as it going in. Best of luck man, they are fantastic cars!

Is it better to replace the filter first? Or last as @MkdMuzza mentioned?

Do you know if it would harm the transmission to remove the transmission fluid line feeding into the radiator and idle the engine to use the transmission fluid pump to force most of the fluid out? When that line runs dry, stop the engine and refill the transmission. The start the engine for a minute, stop it, and add more fluid. Repeat until the overflow is at the correct level. I did this on an SC300 years ago and had excellent results. The fluid was like new deep Ruby red and clear. Of course, it had a dipstick that made both checking the level and refilling very easy.

I honestly would say with it being a shop and they typically charge around $100+ I'd say that they would charge by the book even though it might not take them that long. Around $300. And that's if they are honest. Just remember that you can call around and ask for an estimate. Toyota also works on Lexus car for certain jobs. But never take it to a shop who has never serviced Lexus/Toyota until you've done your homework on them. I hope this helps you. God Bless 🙏

When you were doing that first drain after putting the pan back up at 28 minutes, did you already run the car and get it up to temp while shifting gears? Or did you just fill and then immediately dump it? I see you showed you going through gears the second time, at about 31 minutes. So I’m just curious. Also how many times did you warm the car and run through gears then drain before calling it quits? I’m trying to figure out how much fluid to order

Three times. I only dropped the oil pan once. The rest I just drained the fluid. It is expensive to do. The cost of a replacement trans is a lot more than fluid. So, drain with new filter is now planned every 50 k miles.

@@nevadarobert7908 so did you go through 12 quarts of new fluid or 16? I was planning to go through 12 total. So new pan then 4 quarts, run car, drain, fill 4 quarts, run, drain, then fill with 4 quarts and be done. Or did you drain one more time then I’m planning.

I ran 12 quarts if memory serves me correctly. I kept some just in case I needed it. As you wrote, ATF-WS isn’t cheap. I would do it again as the tranny is not only robust but very smooth. Love my LS! I did the pan and filter once (4 qts) the just drained the pan only without removing it (2.5 qts) x 3. I got really good at it .

I have an Autel Maxisys. Very nice bidirectional scanner. I also have Topdon which is much less money but also is very nice. Both read the ECU for transmission temperature. I am a scanner “junky”. Given the amount of money they have saved me they have paid for themselves. Some folks suggest using a basic infrared scanner on the transmission oil pan. I did that on a Mercedes which had no ECU transmission temp readout.
