Default Should I write up a DIY for changing tranny fluid?
Anyone interested?

I plan on doing mine now that I am at 80k and the fact that I personally don't believe any fluid is 'lifetime'. I am happy to do this as long as people are interested.

I have not decided whether I will use a machine but I have access to one. I would like to write a DIY for those that don't have a machine (most people) so anyone can do this.

Do it. Be careful though you know the details on what procedure Lexus wants hopefully no problems for you.
