Questions About 2021 Lexus LS500h’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Lexus's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Lexus LS500h? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your LS500h towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my LS500h transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2021 LS500h’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 LS500h? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Lexus LS500h, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who can fix my  Lexus LS500h transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair LS500h transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Can I still drive my Lexus LS500h if it has a transmission fluid leak? Driving your LS500h with a transmission fluid leak is highly discouraged. Transmission fluid is vital to the smooth operation of your transmission system, and a leak can put the entire system at risk. A transmission fluid leak may lead to decreased performance, overheating, and possibly even transmission failure.
