I questioned my Lexus service advisor on this. Here is his reply:
Lexus never suggests a transmission fluid change - it's for lifetime. It's really up to the customer. However, we do recommend a rear diff fluid change for $130.
What do you guys think on his reply? And what exactly is rear diff fluid change compared to tranny fluid change?

All you have to do is look at some of the transmission thread on this forum alone...shift issues start appearing around 100k...$300 is a hell of a lot cheaper than $6,000.
Every Lexus and Toyota dealership I have talked to has now changed their stance on that and recommends changing it at 100k. I changed mine at 60k and I have 63k now...
