Per the Edmunds car maintenance schedule, it shows that the differential fluid is to be changed every 15,000 miles. You need to check with the Lexus maintenance schedule (or contact the Lexus dealer). On Edmunds, it estimates the cost of fluid as $ 10, and labor as $ 25.

What is missing are charges for the shop supplies [gloves, rags, cleaner etc], crush washers for drain and fill, and disposal fee for the drained oil.
If you can walk out by paying less than $100, I would say you got a deal.

When should this be changed? The local place where I get my oil changed is trying to tell me every 15K miles. That seems a little early to me. I know its the same synthetic oil we use in the engine but I also know it doesn't have the same wear in the rear diff.
Can anyone tell me what the manufacturer recommends?
Thanks

I chose Redline gear oil product. My RX are front wheel drive. My 450H needs transmission fluid in the CVTesk and not gear oil.
