Questions About 2008 Lexus ES350’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Lexus's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Lexus tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your ES350 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your ES350 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my ES350 transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Lexus ES350 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Lexus. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Lexus ES350? Yes, your Lexus ES350 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your ES350 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.

  • Can I drive my Lexus ES350 with a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your ES350 if it’s leaking transmission fluid.

You might even experience transmission failure.
