jasond1979 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Hi I have an IS200T 2017 Lexus, with 43000 miles. Trying to be responsible I took it to the mechanic and told him to do a fluid change. They did a transmission flush and charged me $371. When I got it back I realized that they didn't replace the transmission filter. They said their maintenance manuals don't show a need to replace the filter. I'm thinking I should get the filter replaced. They said fine it will cost you $500.00 to do the job. Am I being picky by wanting the filter replaced? My wife says that maybe its not needed to replace the filter and I shouldn't get mad about it. 1. Should I replace the transmission filter? 2. Should the car repair place have given me the option to replace the filter instead of just doing a transmission flush? Anyhow thank you for your input, just want to maintain my car in the best way.

RX400h Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I would check the maintenance schedules to see if the transmission filter needs to be replaced at a certain mileage or number of years. In some cases, as long as filters are changed according to the schedule, no filter change is required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
