Default RX330 Trans Fluid Condition

I know the trans problems that the early 300's experienced are not a problem with the 330's, however, I checked my 330's fluid condition (right now have 31k on it) and it is really less than perfect. Not BAD but worse that I would have figured for the mileage count.

I've decided to do two drain and fills within a couple hundred miles of each other to get that stuff cherry red again.

We drive it on the weekends and summer vacations...no towing, etc.

Has anyone else checked the fluid condition in the 330's? Curious...

I purchased my Lexus used with 78000km or 50000 miles. Upon becoming owner of it I replaced all of the fluids with Royal Purple synthetic stuff. I now have 50000km/30000miles on the fluid and its still purple. I'd suggest changing to synthetic and enjoy your vehicle
