ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS REMOVE THE FILL PLUG FIRST!!!! Before you drain...this will save you if you can't get the fill bolt loose and you've drained the pan you're sunk.

Great vid, that old fluid looked pretty dirty and I’d recommend you changing that fluid a second time because there’s a lot of old fluid left in the transmission when you just drain it, like in the torque converted and valve body and transmission cooler. You probably changed about 35% of the transmission fluid but doing another change should get you closer to 60% which should be really good shape

Great Video Man, but another tip that might get you going is removing the pan itself and then changing the filter inside the pan as it will still hold a lot of the old oil so by removing the pan and changing the filter inside you can change about 60% of the oil in the transmission set up, with the method you are now using you will be changing approx ~30% of the old oil, another tip when you change the pan change the gasket as well and when you clean it you will find magnets that should hold old iron particles clean those as well and put them back and you are good to go.

MAKE SURE YOU CAN UNSCREW FILL PLUG FIRST! I just did mine today. Only had exactly 2.0L drain out. Put 3.4L in and the shifting and behavior is So much smoother! It was a little difficult getting that plastic hose fed through the bottom of the car to the top. I also used a 15/16 3/8 short socket instead of a 15/16 wrench.

I looked it up, the 2.5 qts is the right amount that was supposed to come out and then you put 2.5 qt in accordance with the maintenance manual

OP did you ever check the level properly? I'm not sure it's a good idea to just guess at how much to put in and trust you did it right. Also you already know you need exhaust system work, unfortunately, patching merely delays the real fix but gotta do what you must, that isn't even my question, which is, I thought our LS460's came from the factory with stainless steel exhaust! Either that's a lie or else somebody has replaced your exhaust system previously -

Not too sure what this comes with stock, but I have a full aftermarket exhaust. After speaking with Lexus technicians, they assured me that the transmission level would be fine from what was removed versus what was placed in. The individual I spoke with had been working on these cars for 15+ years and this was protocol for him. Thanks for your comment.😁

How many miles do you have ? This will be my 2nd time servicing it. It developed a vibration at super low speeds and I’ve been told to change the fluid in the pan so I’m going to go for it, but I’m at 208k.

So I have a really thin PVC pipe that fit inside of the 3/8 tube. I stuck the PVC pipe down through the top of the engine next to the fuel lines until I saw it coming out the bottom which said the line and the rest of the way through

Hey man, I love your videos. Just a quick tip for the transmission fluid change/flush lexus have a special way to check for the transmission fluid level after changing Turn on the car and start shifting the gears from P R N D M ONCE IT GOT WARM UP YOU CAN EITHER USE OBD 2 SCANNER OR A LASER GUN TEMPERATURE TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION TEMPERATURE IT SHOULD BE BETWEEN 95f 108f THAN OPEN THE BOLT THERE IS BOLT UNSCREW IT AND THE EXTRA AMOUNT WILL COME OUT.
