2017 Lexus ES350 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Lexus's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Lexus tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your ES350 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my ES350's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Lexus ES350 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health.

Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
