Buying a 02 rx300 that recently had trans fluid flushed?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! Had some concerns about a potential rx300 I was looking to buy. Has 110k miles, good service history, very clean. However my one concern is the trans fluid was flushed 1k miles ago, and from what I can see from the Carfax, that’s the only time it was ever flushed or drained. Is it still an ok buy possibly? I’m a bit suspicious because it’s now being sold 1k miles after that. Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I believe that Carfax shows only service done at a dealership. I owned since new a 2014 Mazda 3. All oil/oil filter, and air filter changes were done in my garage with synthetic oil. I'm fairly certain that the Carfax reports showed none of those completed maintenance tasks.

You may want to have a mechanic pull the pan to check for metal particles in the fluid.
