That's all that came out during draining ???
Drain and fill (not flush) is most likely harmless, but I think sometimes we over-medicate.
For example, you need to step out of the 80's and come into the 21st century with the warm ups. We don't need to warm up the car in Park. Drive it gently and the car will warm up just the same, and faster, with less waste.

But...I was born in the 80's lol 
It's just a habit of mine to warm up my cars -- mostly in the winter months since it's brutal here in NY.
To the gentlemen that are doing their service soon/ within a few days, let us know if any noticeable differences exist after the service. As far as the mutlitude of drain and fills -- seems costly, but might as well do it right if it's going to be another 60K miles before another service like this.

How many miles are you on anyway?

I took my car in for the recall yesterday and requested to have the transmission fluid changed. It about what i paid a few years ago...$195. Well I got a call a few mins ago saying that the tech didn't want to do it today because its not really needed since im only at 63k and because the weather is so bad...tons of humidity from the constant rain over the last week. He said the fluid asorbs more moisture than the older fluids so he wanted me to wait. I'll try again in a month when its time to get my oil changed....
On a side note....I am truly unimpressed with the 2015 ES 350....so plain...cheap materials...reminds me of the 2009 Acura TL on the inside....Lexus appears to be cutting cost...smh
