Questions About 2005 Lexus IS300’s Transmission

  • How much can I tow in a Lexus IS300? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is.

  • How often does my IS300 transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Lexus IS300 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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.
  • Can Lexus IS300 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Lexus IS300 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues.
