I know the A/T is one of the weak link in our RX.

How often do you change your A/T fluid?

How many miles do you have on your R/X ?

What year is your RX ?

Is is an AWD or FWD?

I will start and let you guys know
1- 01 AWD
2- Bought at 38K 2 years ago And now is at 58K
3- change my AT/F , differential oil every 15K
4- Original Tranny


So far My RX run like a sewing machine snd
luv the SUV

What has your experience been with your RX ?

I'd not compare to sewing machine just for the amount of noise they make.. Swiss watch, that I'd take
We had 99 RX sold at 157 000 miles. I did ATF changes every time is started shifting with a bit of a kick. I'd say, every about 18-20 000 mil;es. I also always flush dtrannie with Transtune before that. Was AWD model, did AWD oil changes every about 50 000 miles.

Two '99 AWD's; one has about 80,000 miles, one has about 160,000 miles. I change it every 15K. No problems so far.
