2003 Lexus RX300 Questions & Answers

  • 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 a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your RX300 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your RX300 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my RX300's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Lexus RX300’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it 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. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can my Lexus RX300 leak transmission fluid? Yes. Lexus RX300 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
