2018 Lexus GS300 Questions & Answers

  • How much can my Lexus tow?   Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your GS300 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • How often does my GS300 transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Lexus GS300 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health.

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
