Hi everyone
Just signed up, i'm hoping you can all help me 🙂 I have a 2015 Lexus is300h that i've had a local back street garage have change the oil every 10k miles. The rest of my fluids.....well I've pretty much ignored them. The car has a 120k miles on it and nothing apart from oil has ever been changed so the plan is to either do it myself or get my backstreet garage to change the transmission, differential and brake fluid. Here goes:
1. Can the transmission fluid just be put in until it overflows? i've seen a couple of threads on here where people have measured the amount taken out and then put the exact same amount back in. In another thread the instructions (from a lexus workshop manual?) show you just fill it until it starts to flow out.
2. Differential oil is as simple as filling it until it overflows. Anything i should take into consideration or be aware of?
3. Are the gaskets/washers for transmission/differential and oil all one size?
4. Finally does anyone know the cheapest place I can get the genuine toyota transmission, differential oil and sump gaskets from?
I've had no issues with the car in my 4 years of ownership and i've put 90k miles on it.
Thanks for your help
Great, thanks guys. I'm gonna attempt it myself if i can get some time on a ramp.
