How many filters inside the car? When to change these fluids?
1) How many filters are there inside the car, beside the a/c filter inside the glovebox?
2) When to change these fluids (mileage|timeframe):
- coolant?
- brake? Specific rating for the fluid?
- differential gear?
- any other fluids have to be checked/changed?
I read on the user's manual that the transmission is completely sealed and shouldn't be touched whatsoever unless there's a leakage. I'd be very happy to leave my transmission alone with it's stuff untouched. But will it not break apart or something due to excessive use and lack of lube renewal? I'm scared to think about driving 150K miles without a single tranny fluid change.
3) Does the transmission's filter have to be changed? When if yes?
4) Left side mirror is taking 1 second longer to unfold (but not when folding) than the right one. Should I worry?

+1 .......a somewhat related question. Is an intake air filter same as the engine air filter?
if so, should I ask not to have the engine filter changed at my 60k service since I just got a brand new intake?

2 engine filters,
2 AC filters in LWB,
1 AC filter in SWB,
1 oil filter + some noise filter with pic check the TSB on this link

in the maint. after 36months or 30,000mile , 108 Months or 90,000 & 144 Months or 120,000 Miles they recommend replacing the brake fluid
engine coolant visually check
brake fluid
power steering fluid visually check

[COLOR="blue"]Inspect each transmission component for signs of leakage. If you discover
any leakage, have it repaired immediately by a qualified technician.
Note: The transmission and transmission fluid are a completely sealed unit.
Therefore, periodic checks and replacement of the transmission fluid
are not required, and there is no dipstick on the transmission. Any repairs
that require adding or replacing fluid should be performed by a qualified
technician following procedures in Lexus service and repair publications.[/COLOR]

No it will not "break apart" unless you leak out all your transmission fluid. My Q45a has 184,000 miles on it. Its not a sealed transmission, but I've never had to add fluid, and never changed the fluid. My wife's Jag has a sealed transmission and its fine with 95,000 miles on it.
You have to realize there have been many improvements in automotive parts. Years ago engine oil was changed every 3,000 miles and now some cars are up to 10-15,000 miles. Tires were good for maybe 15,000 miles if you were lucky, now some will go 60,000 (not Turanza EL42's though). Spark plugs used to be changed every 5,000, now its 100,000. Plus you used to change the points at the same time. I don't expect to ever change the points on my LS!

:-) yup, there are no seat filters in the LS460 from 2007 on, it could be they are thinking of previous models?

I came across this old thread during a search. I own a 2010 LS 460. I just replaced the seat bottom air filters on the driver and passenger sides. They were dirty and air flow has improved since replacement. There's a couple of threads about how to DIY. When you do a parts search or ask a dealer you'll think they don't exist (not listed on newer models), but they're there and worth replacing. mylparts.com 2/$30 shipped. I was skeptical too...

I have an 07 ls460 with heated and cooled seats but for the life of my can't find any filters. Did the 2007 460 have seat filters? Perhaps it started with the 10's?
Thanks
