Hybrid TechnologyUnique topics related to the GS450H model hybrid drivetrain and other features/options found only on the GS450H. Please use the main 3GS forum for discussion about shared components with other third generation GS models.
Ill send this and the image above to my lexus service centre and see what they say.
It seemed like they were actually scared to replace the transmission fluid?
Which Lexus dealer in NSW?
Lexus Sydney City should be able to do it for you.
bumping old thread, looking to do this as well, the Camry video seems too much.. is it just drain and fill or do i really need to take whole thing apart?
it can be perfectly done at home with a jack stand, it needs indeed a lift in order to fully empty, after that make sure you use only the original toyota/lexus CVT oil, even same grade of other brands will lead to problems. I replace mine every 45.000 miles just to be sure everything is fine, I do it together with the diff. The diff is identical to any other rwd car, just need a long tube to fill as the fillerhole is located on a very unpleasant location
There is a metal film filter on the inside of the cvt gearbox and it doesn't need replacement it's a lifetime filter, same with the fuel filter that is in the fuel tank it's magnetized so metal partials just glue to it. Life span of the cvt gearbox is far longer then the lifetime of your car 500.000 miles or more without any issues :-)
mine just has two plugs one below and above on filling side if some one could help with that
my car has this transmission ( pic from eBay )
usually should have WS stamped on one of it but not on mine ,any help appreciated thanks
Which one to use to fill the transmission
Lexus Gs450h transmission 2006 model Two filling bolts ( not marked ws )
Gs450h transmission

I understand the camry is different from the GS but was wondering if it can be done and if anyone has tried this yet. Thanks in advance.
