  • How much can I tow in a Lexus SC300? Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small.

Regularly checking and exchanging your 1999 SC300’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Lexus, so check with your technician first. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
