Changing Transmission Fluid ***DIY w/ pics***
#92
Maybe they changed the size of the WS Fill bolt but mine was more like 24mm than 20mm as tested with my 24mm deep socket. Ordered a 24mm low profile oil change socket and will see how that works as there's not a lot of clearance in that area.
edit: 24mm low profile oil filter socket worked perfectly with standard 3/8 ratchet and breaker bar.

What if I just measure exactly what came out and pump new fluid back in. Will I have to still do the OBD and all that shifting? I have over 177,000 miles on my 2007GS 350.

Lexus service docs say that drain and level check bolts should be torqued to 15lb/ft, and fill plug should be torqued to 29ft/lb. I got all three bolts out with a standard socket wrench, but removing the fill plug would've been easier with a breaker bar.

Ok I did it. Boy was it tiring pumping all that fluid back in. The only problem I can came across was not able to remove the level check bolt because I couldn't find one that would fit correctly. Does anyone remember what Allen key size the check level bolt takes?

Either 8mm or 6mm. I'm fairly sure it's 8mm.
