Questions About 2018 Lexus GS350’s Transmission

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2018 GS350’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Lexus, so check with your technician first. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Lexus GS350? Yes. Lexus GS350 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
