1998 Lexus LX470 Transmission Q&A

  • How much can I tow in a Lexus LX470? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. Defying your LX470 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my LX470's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Lexus LX470’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
