2012 Lexus GX460 Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Lexus? 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.
  • What can I tow in a Lexus? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your GX460 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my GX460 transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Lexus GX460’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Lexus GX460? Yes. Lexus GX460 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.

  • Can I still drive my Lexus GX460 if it has a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your GX460 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
