After watching your video, I did the same for my wife’s 2005 RX330. It hasn’t been changed until now at 165k miles. Thank you for the tool tip on the hard bolts to remove. Excellent video.
Nice tutorial. Question. I have this 2006 RX330 with almost 180k miles without any transmission fluid change records. Let’s assume the oil was never actually changed. Shall I change it? I was told that I might better off keep the oil, how legit this statement is? Thank you.
Hi, first since when you owned the car (what is the mileage the day you purchased the car)? - Have you check the transmission fluid recently? What is the color? Thanks.
@@agungwibawaAR15 the fluid is actually bright pink color, the previous owner has no idea what was done to the car, but said she was doing everything whatever was recommended by her local server shop. I’m waiting for over a week already to get the service records… i got the car at 178k miles. Now it’s almost 180k. The transmission works fine, smooth. I am planning on changing the fluid anyways. Is it important to change the filter as well? I was told that filter is fully metal, and there is no need to change it whatsoever. Thank you!
@@DouxRoss if the transmission fluid bright clear pink, that's means the previous owner well maintained the car, so you can keep maintained the car. You can change the transmission fluid and filter..
@@DouxRoss That's true the filter is fully metal. Could be better if you change the filter, because it's not about the filter durability, it's about metal particles filtration due to metal to metal friction in the transmission. and I recommended you to use toyota oem transmission filter.
Bro, I'm looking for the one thing you did off screen.. where do you actually put the new fluid? The oil cap is on top of the engine but this is a damned mystery. Could you please help a dude out? Thanks
Absolutely awesome man thank you only thing I ask is that my RX300 apparently has a plastic filter to buy for it I don't know if you get all new metal thing or if there's a better kit to buy I don't even know if what they're selling at advanced Auto is OEM at the moment
Hi there, I recomanded you use OEM Toyota Transmission filter, you can order it online. Of get it from eBay Lexus dealer. Here is the link you can check it out: www.ebay.com/itm/LEXUS-OEM-FACTORY-TRANSMISSION-OIL-STRAINER-TYPE-B-1999-2003-RX300-/331858272283?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0
I got Lexus rx 330 with no record on the transmission fluid. Miles 220k look little dark red. What can be happening if I’ll change the fluid and the filter? Can it damage the transmission?
If you have no record for the transmission fluid change, I will recommend not to replace the transmission fluid. Replacing with new transmission fluid can cause the transmission slipped. This is because the old transmission fluid already contained clutch material from being in there over time and can actually be helping the transmission to still shift gears.
@@agungwibawaAR15 thank you for the answer… the fluid doesn’t look black but more of dark red. Recently due to cv Axel replacement some of the oil got out and I topped the same amount back and looks like the transmission is still the same does it means that it might be safe to replace/flush all?
@@ysh3501 if the fluid dark red it could be has been replaced around 80-100k miles ago (that safe to replace with new fluid). But if the color red black that means never been replace for over 150k miles.
Seems like I can do fo to the 2006 v6 highlander 3.3L My only issue is I am not sure if the transmission oil has been replaced or not. Not sure how I will know that ?! Maybe by checking the color of the oil ? One thing is clear the car run and shift nicely, it has 94k on it .... I bought it with 75k on it at a local dealership! What do you think ??
Check the transmission oil dipatick on the driver side, not passanger side. if the oil color is red and clear, that means your transmission oil still good, if the transmission oil turn dark even black and smell fishy that means the transmission oil goes bad. Pull the transmission dipstick and wipe with a clean towel, check the color and smell it. You will know if the oil goes bad or not.
si, al igual que RX350, el fluido de transmisión es el mismo, pero el filtro puede ser diferente. utilice el líquido y el filtro originales de Toyota para obtener el mejor resultado.
@@agungwibawaAR15 I finished reassembly yesterday topped off transmission only spilled a little when I pulled out the old driveshaft. And now no vibration or noise, but I still have to do the driver side luckily that sides easier.
Question I have a 2004 Lexus Rx 330 my shifter is different from yours 7:12 is it the same process because mines doesn’t show 4-D 3 or 2-L on the shifter
Привет, вы можете залить трансмиссионное масло через трубку масляного щупа трансмиссии, делайте это медленно, потому что отверстие для трубки очень маленькое.
Sir, I have a problem with the gear in the third gear. It does not work unless I press a lot on the gasoline. What is the solution? It is delayed in the switch. thanks for the help
Hi there, normally it could be the Transmission shift solenoid, you have to bring the car to the mechanic for proper test, what is cause the hard shifting. Normaly hard shufting gear because of Transmission shift solenoid failure.
@@agungwibawaAR15 The solenoids are the keys to the gearbox I think.. Unfortunately in my country the gear is replaced and this is expensive and there is no one to repair I watched a lot of videos talking about the keys and they are replaced, but I expected that changing the oil could solve the issue
@@abcdefghijklmno38881 The symptoms if your transmission fluid goes bad: Trouble going into gear, hard shifts or thumps between gears, slipping or jumping gears, delay in acceleration, and strange noises such as whining or grinding are all signs it’s time to change the transmission fluid.

@@agungwibawaAR15 Sir, thank you for the useful advice you wrote to me, and I will make sure to implement them. I knew from your words that the oil was exhausted and I was sure of that, and because the weather is hot in the Middle East region of Kuwait, and neglecting to change the gear oil led to the damage of the gears and the failure to move to the third stage of the gearbox. Thanks
Could be perfect if you count 10 seconds every gear before transfering to another gear. As automatic transmission fluid flows throughout an automatic transmission, it flows under varying levels of pressure, levels that are determined by engine load and various gear selections. So by counting 10 seconds on every gear will let the transmission fluid flows under varying levels of pressure.
No you don't need to put any grease on the gasket if you use oem toyota gasket, make sure you clean well the metal surface before installing the new gasket.
@@abyssalsoul6216 Yes for 2007 Lexus RX350 you must use Toyota ATF WS Automatic Transmission oil Fluid. But the whay how to replace the transmission fluid is the same.

Basically they are almost the same, but you still need the offsets wrench to lossen or remove the bolts that blocked by the chassis.

Where you fill the oil back in
Use a small funnel through the transmission dipstick hole.
Is that counting to 10 stuff really necessary after the oil change. I've never seen that b4
Could be perfect if you count 10 seconds every gear before transfering to another gear.
As automatic transmission fluid flows throughout an automatic transmission, it flows under varying levels of pressure, levels that are determined by engine load and various gear selections.
So by counting 10 seconds on every gear will let the transmission fluid flows under varying levels of pressure.
Did you put any sort of grease on the gasket before putting it on?
No you don't need to put any grease on the gasket if you use oem toyota gasket, make sure you clean well the metal surface before installing the new gasket.
Does the transmission oil need to be at a certain temperature while being filled in?
Room temprature at least 70 degrees fahrenheit, that should be fine.
What is the part number for the O-ring, does it come with it?
Hi there, the O-ring comes with the oil filter.
@@agungwibawaAR15 thank you so much friend! Will be using your video for a job on my 04 rx330. Much appreciated!
