Maintenance Questions on 2008 GS350

Hello All,

I got my 08 GS350 6 years ago with 68000 mileages and have not done any maintenance except tire, brake pad, rotor, air filters and oil changes only. Now my GS is approaching 150000 miles.

Do I need to go and do a major maintenance? like what kind of maintenances? I was once told that the differential oil and transmission oil are needed to change, do they?

So far There is nothing wrong with my GS at all.

Please help.

Thanks,
John

I have the same exact model and here is what Lexus recommends at 120k. I would check your water pump also first and foremost if you haven't already done so. It's quite a common thing around here as far as I have seen and isn't too bad to replace.FACTORY RECOMMENDED

John,

Definitely get the transmission and differential fluids replaced. Given the milage, doing several drain/fills of the transmission would be better than getting it flushed
