2008 Lexus SC430 Questions & Answers

  • 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. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Lexus tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your SC430 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your SC430 is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my SC430's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2008 SC430’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system 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 Lexus SC430 transmission fluid leak? Yes. Lexus SC430 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
