Tranny Service?...
99 GS 400 with 65K miles. Was wondering if I should even mess with the tranny fluid in any way? Drain and Fill? or a flush? What have some members done in my situation? BTW, dont know if it was ever even touched since it was a lease and the person didnt bring it in for much dealer service. Thanks in advance.

Ahh, to fill or to flush? That is the question.
NYC Max,
Unless your car is being used like a cab , & seeing your address I guess there is the off chance of that, I would go with a simple fill.
I on the other hand have decided to flush & I'll list the reasons.
High mileage: My 94 LS is at 137,000
Rural usage: It has seen a dirt road or two in its time.
Reasonable cost: A local Toyota dealer whom I have confirmed has BG PF5 flush machine will perform the service for $99.00!
Somewhere at the website below is a search engine that will let you find who has a flushing machine in your zip code. I am even going to run their recommended quick clean (106 ) prior to the process.
