Questions About 2011 Lexus GS450h’s Transmission

  • How much can my Lexus tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 2011 GS450h’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Lexus's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
