Thank you everyone trying to help me 🙂 I thought and read about the pipe as an inlet for filling in the new fluid, but couldn't find clear confirmation which one is correct ( top or bottom). There is also a biger pipe on the passenger side, which can be a filling point. I bought genuine Toyota ATF WS fluid, I know we can't change the full amount of transmission fluid, we only make a mix of new an used fluid, with checking of correct level. Thats the reason of troubles if anybody is changing that fluid to anything different. It is a really electrical insulation fluid, electric motor works between 288 - 650 V AC. Special thanks to Lwerewolf for very interesting slideshow.

Hi every Lexus lovers 🙂 I want to say very big greetings for everyone who take their own time and experience to maintain our Lexus and share their experience on our forum. Today I spent all day to find a possible way how to fill in a transmission fluid to GS 450h e-CVT transmission. My Lexus reach 110 000 miles and I thought that will be a kind of obvious of maintanance. It seems like it is not possible. Many of YouTubers, a lot of of forum's says that you wiil need a few tools and some experience. OK... that's all true, but not for my Lexus. My "gearbox" is a e-CVT transmission, which looks like a Lexus improved model, really do not need a transmission fluid change or refill. I attache a photo, maybe not very good quality, but real photo from the face-lift model. Everything looks good, we have got drain plug, we have got a level plug... but where is a filling plug? Just not exist. Only one possible place, marked on the photo. Can anyone confirm? Very difficult acces... not surprissingly wrong according to no-maintanance gearbox, on the top looks like for allen key ( again ... can anyone confirm a size of tha allen key? looks like 6). Honestly I think to make a serious service with the transmission, I'm going to remove the oil pan, change the gasket and filter, fill in a new fluid. But WHERE IS THE FILLING PLUG? Another question is... what type of fluid works in the e-CVT transmission? According to any information found on the websites it is a ATF WS... but none of those websites is for 450h, hybrid version. So... I'm confused still, I have a lot of electro-mechanical skills and experience in maintanance, but Lexus never going to stop surprising me 🙂

Last year I found a few offers to swap genuine radio/ player to Android/Tesla style 12" . Please tell me what you think about this.
