I buy Lincoln fleet vehicles.
First tranny oil change is recommended at 150,000 miles.
Took in a 2011 Town Car at about 140,000 miles, tranny oil changed.
My warranties are good to 150,000 miles. At 159,000 miles that tranny gave up :/ $3200 rebuild.
I had an identical 2011 Town Car...I said screw it, let's see what happens if we don't service the tranny oil.
Currently... the original tranny on that vehicle, has 339,000 miles. Never once was the tranny fluid changed. Shifts like a new car.

They can say it's "sealed" all they want. It's not. It has a drain plug and a fill plug, regardless of where you live on this planet. Further, did you refer to your maintenance schedule? Never mind what Lexus "says" verbally and refer to your manual. When I checked the market sites (Europe, Asia, etc) I know I saw reference to fluid changes except for the US.
