Questions About 2011 Lexus LS460’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Lexus's brakes? 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 your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your LS460’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your LS460 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my LS460's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2011 LS460’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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Lexus LS460 transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Lexus LS460 can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your LS460 ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Who does Lexus LS460 transmission repair? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair LS460 transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I drive my Lexus LS460 with 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 LS460 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
