Questions About 2008 Lexus RX400h’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Lexus? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Lexus RX400h? Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your RX400h’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your RX400h is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • Does my RX400h's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Lexus RX400h transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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.
  • Can my Lexus RX400h leak transmission fluid? Yes. Lexus RX400h transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
