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. Remember that when you’re driving down winding roads, and opt for 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 NX200t’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your NX200t is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.

When should I have my NX200t's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?

Caring for your Lexus NX200t’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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.

Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Lexus NX200t?

Yes, your Lexus NX200t can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your NX200t 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.
