The transmission/transfer case 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.
Ding Ding Ding We have a winner.

Its so nice when someone opens the manual and actually reads.

What year is your car? That's like 50,000 miles, right?

Yes it should be changed every 50,000 miles, and my car was manufactured and bought in 2013 ( its 2014 IS350).
