  • How often does my SC400 transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Lexus SC400 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed.
