This is a Better method than the others shown on TH-cam. In my opinion, it’s Easier to fill and check through the same hole instead of using the full plug on the side which has a cap over it n little room to loosen up n tighten the bolts! Great video!
@@HowIFixedIt I have decided to do a whole trans filter change in a few weeks or a few months. The 3qrts I added definitely helped my cars shifting felt to first gear but still a little off. I’ve watched a vid that’s supper instructional. I hope everything goes well!
Transmission fluid expands and contracts while hot or cold. The vehicle in the video is automatic transmission. I’ve never serviced a manual transmission that needed the fluid hot or engine running while filling or topping off. I hope this helps. I appreciate the feedback 👍
Interesting. But why did extra dark fluid come out when checking the level if it was supposed to be a full exchange of all of the fluid? Is there a danger that only part was drained intitally?
Next month, I want to change the transmission for the IS250, 154000 miles, I am not sure if the first owner and the second owner have changed the transmission oil.
Most vehicles are serviced correctly during ownership. If it’s the first time. I would add some additive in with the new fluid. Lexus states that it must be done very 30k online google. I hope this helps. Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it 👍
@How I Fixed It! One question though, why was is dripping so much old fluid from the check plug when you unscrew it the first time? Was the transmition overfilled?
The engine was not running. Transmission fluid was mostly inside pan. A slight drip while engine is running. Would be full. I repeated procedure until fluid was clean and fluid full with engine running. I hope this helps. I appreciate the feedback 👍
If it is not a pan drop and filter change, I would do it at the hose connection at the transmission cooler, ingress pointing up and egress dripping down to a quart bottle. Run the engine and put back in a quart when u see one quart out, repeat until u see fluid same color. That way fluild in valvebody, torque converter and cooler will be flushed out.
Absolutely, most people just don’t have a thousand dollar flush machine at home. These are more for the do it yourself automobile owners. Thank you for the feedback. I appreciate it 👍
I flushed out 12 quarts. I would start the vehicle and add until full. Full when vehicle running and dripping form check plug. I hope this helps. I appreciate the feedback 👍
I filled it thru the drain plug hole and waited for it to drip while it was running as long as it dripping out of check plug it's filled correctly then right?

Hi why do you need to start the vehicle whilst topping up the fluid? Also is your 2is auto or manual?

Keep flushing. That’s what I did. Be sure to flush as many times as needed.
@@HowIFixedIt Thanks for that information.
@@Rob-fx2dw Thank you. I appreciate the feedback.
Much easier than the temp deal. Will do next time. 2011 lexus is250 awd and 2015 lexus gs350 f sport
This is a perfect video, what kind of pump do you use to put the fluid in?
Evacuation and dispenser pump from any parts store. I got mine from cornwell. I hope this helps. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you 👍

@@HowIFixedIt So the check from the over fill plug should be done ONLY with the engine running?
How much atf oil was used to fill it?
I used 12 to drain and fill. Always check proper level after service. I appreciate the feedback. Thank you 👍

@@HowIFixedIt Don't need a flush machine to do the flush. Use funnel to feed, and gravity (and car running) to drain.
@@derekkchung make a video showing this then
Please make that video
@@HowIFixedIt Lexus said they want 500 I said nah lmao thank you for the video
Thanks
I appreciate the feedback. Thank you 👍
How many quart of fluid do you add ??
I used twelve quarts total to flush out. But always use level indicator to check proper level.
What Would Be A Reasonable Price To Pay For This ?
I would say 100.00 dollars. But these prices are getting out of control. I just payed 10 dollars for a three inch sub. I hope this helps. Thank you 👍
How many quarts did you put

Yes, as long as it’s dripping from inner tube dipstick. I hope this helps. I appreciate the feedback 👍
