I believe the transmission requires the car to run to temperature as the fluid heats up and expands. you will be there for ages messing around and best just doing the job fully and also replace the filter at the same time. I know when we dropped my transmissions sump there was slight sludging at the bottom too. So best just do the job then adding cold fluid, warming up to a specific temprature and dropping out the excess. and keep going back over and over. It will also invlove you connecting a OBD reader to get the temprature. exactly before dropping excess fluid.

I think doing it properly is the easiest way. took us about 90 mins.

Lexus do provide a workshop tech notes about how to change this properly. Best to stick to this to get it right.

Be careful what you see on youtube. 
 

@mnalep did you find it?

Love my Samsung S23 Ultra for two main reasons:

1. The camera is amazing (10x optical zoom is just one reason.)

2. The stylus is so far beyond anything Apple has (which is no stylus).
I even use it to present Powerpoint slides. It does so many things!

i think you'll find its 100x zoom... when you select 10, look right and you will see it goes up to 100.

Stylus is great, also use it on my touchscreen of my car as the screen is worn in the lower section and helps navigate easier without feeling you have sausages for fingers. Great phone

Thanks Dave.. Pesky brits and their words lol

You may have corrosion on your light cluster, may need taking out and have a look for water or durst damage that causing the light to short out. Or could be a loose connector on the plug. Get a torch and look for bare or loose wires

Looking good Mike!!

Hi Nick, Welcome to the club

It could be a leaking exhaust or a modified one. Best get it checked as sometimes gases can come in to the cabin. Best trick is to place your hand over the end if the exhaust (use gloves) and you will then hear the leak more as the pressure build up.

20 years ago I swapped a domain name for a Lexus. The love affair started and I am now on my 10th Lexus

Hi

How about taking the car to a local detailer or may be over to use a wet vac to suck all the water out. Is the car also garaged at night? If so leave the doors open and air the vehicle.

or is the carpet now starting to smell?

Hi Lisa

This could be a number of things. First question, have you fueled it correctly? have you added gas instead of diesel?

i would negotiate at least half of the cost of replacing the belt, so if it's $1k then i would be looking at getting at least 500-600 dollars off.

Hi Yash

Welcome to the Lexus Owners Club

Did they do anything to the tires on the car during the service? Do you and your brother have both same tire pressure and tire profiles?

Then check for power steering (ATF) level as well.

I have done this, key was in my pocket and as i walked away the button was being pressed by the other keys on the fob. Came back with it all open.. Luckily it was sunny and no one stole my sunglasses. LOL
