How to save $400 by Doing Lexus Auto Transmission Drain And Fill Yourself | DIY RCF Drain&Fill Guide 

Good Guide. Barry knows what he's doing. Did the same thing on my IS F

Thank you for your time showing us how to do this 🙌🏽

More videos like this so helpful gonna be doing it soon on my 2008 isf 👌🏼

Awesome video! Very helpful!!

Yet another great video. Keep them coming.

Great video bro! I have a 16 GSF and I’m thinking of doing the same thing to my car!! I did subscribed, keep it up!!!

Appreciate you my guy.

Thanks for the video, I like to drain and fill twice, drain and fill drive 50 miles do another drain and fill.

Thanks bro. You're awesome.

Talk about Quick release side skirts! LOL keep up the great work barry!

Sipping on some Premium GT at 10:50?? lol Hey nice work, easy to follow instructions, and great explanations!

I learn all brother tanks big boy

Thanks! Would love to see a DIY on rear diff fluid and spark plugs!

Great video bro! What brand pump did you use? I’ve been looking for one but I’m not sure which to get…

Great video you should have shown the Jack points and how to lift the car in more detail. Some people are going to be risking thier life if they don't have this car lifted correctly. Use wood under the tire is a great way to stay safe doing this

i recommend doing it on a cold fluid in the morning, first is to make sure that the fluid that suppose to be in the pan are all in there, next is that atf that are in the normal operating temperature are already expanded, atf tends to expand when its in the normal operating temp, thats why when you drain your atf while still hot you took 3 quarts rather than 2quarts when its cold. those 3 quarts that you took will became 2 quarts when it started to cold. then the bad part is that you put 3 quarts of cold new atf back in in which it makes your atf level inside your transmission 1 quart more, so it ends up you over fill your transmission with fluid that is technically bad for your transmission. you would put cold fresh new atf that you buy on the store which is still not on normal operating tempt (fluid that are not yet expanded) . youre not putting hot new atf in (fluiud that are already expanded). so for me draining it on a cold engine usually int he morning is far more safer, fluid level wise than doing it on a hot engine. this is just my opinion.

Great video man!!! Where is the overflow bolt located if you are using techstream

Informative video! Good explanation of procedure, I have ISF and the Lexus ISF repair manual. I few additional details for a "Fill Transmission Pan with fluid. Spec says it should take 3.4 L or 3.59 US qts. Toyota makes it possible to check fluid levels without Techstream, this may be similar for other vehicles, but this is what my manual states; To check fluid temp without techstream, wire jump between pin 4 and 13 on OBD port (DLC3). Turn off all electrical items, start car, move shift lever between P and M return to P. Now shift between N and D rapidly for 6 seconds, P indicator will turn off when fluid temperature mode is detected. Put car in P, remove jump wire, while car is still running, the P light will turn on at 95F and blink at 42 F. With engine idling and between noted temp, remove overflow plug, catch fluid that comes out, or add fluid until it comes out. Transmission is at correct fluid level, reinstall plugs.

I have a 2009 ls460 with 200k mileage. The transmission fluid was never changed. Is it ok to drain and fill the transmission fluid?

Thanks Barry! Very helpful! I'll do this when my RC350 hits 40K, together with spark plugs, front and rear differential. Very informative video. Aren't you planning on dropping the tranny oil pan completely? That would also give you a chance to replace the filter and collect the metal shavings on the pan magnets.

cool bro will do it on my car

Hey Barry,did you have to replace the ATF filter and at what mileage when you change your. My RCF just turns 50,000 miles and I'm planning to do mine. Thanks

Hey I’ve heard that there is a overflow nut, does that do anything to help you from overfill or under fill? Thanks!

Hi , when do you check the level is correct as it may have been low before hand? Is there a definitive correct level I mean!

Fluid still looks good, but never hurts to do it

are your jack stands sitting right on/under the pinch welds?...will it bend ?

In the begging of the video for the transmission fluid you had both the multi-vehicle (red cap) and fuel efficient (blue cap) fluid. Would it matter if I used the red cap or the blue cap fluid? Let’s say it goes into a Lexus IS 250

Barry it’s ok to mix Toyota transmission WS and Amsoil ATF? I’m going to do drain and fill also. Thank you

I’m thinking of buying a 2015 RCF with 84k miles. Would you drain and fill the transmission fluid assuming it’s never been changed? I’d hate to do it and risk slippage ​​⁠

Bro, how'd you get the side skirts out so easily.... Did you unbolt all screws prior to the video?🤔

Do you recommend using amsoil on for transmission & rear differential on is250 2014 & on a LS460 08? Been using valvoline

Quick question, I lost transmission fluid because the line burst on the way to the transmission cooler. How would I be able to know how much transmission fluid I need to put back in? Also my car has 150,000 miles and I don’t think the transmission has ever been serviced so I am scared to do a complete flush of the system

Hey Barry! I saw you had one bottle that said multi vehicle and one that said fuel efficient for the fluid, does it matter which one we use? Thank you!

Hi Barry hopefully you check your comments still ! I am going to be doing all the fluid changes on my 2017 RCF. Regarding the trans, is it really necessary to measure the trans temp or is it enough to do the drain and fill right after driving it say for 30 minutes ? I bought an obd2 device and fusion app but i have to pay more now if I want the enhanced features like viewing the temps. Thanks

Do you ever do flushes or just drain and fills?

Make sure fluid temp going in IS the same as temp of fluids coming out.

How is the Lexus RC with the Amsoil Fuel Efficient Transmission Fluid. I am thinking on doing this to my Tacoma and making the switch from Toyota WS to Amsoil. Obviously you know of all the scarce Toyota creates on having customer's believe Toyota WS is the only fluid you can use on Toyota/Lexus transmission.

What color is that wrap? 🤩 (If it’s a wrap)

0:54 ever heard of a floor jack? It's an amazing invention that eliminates a lot of work, including the removal of side skirts. You should try it sometime!

did toy change the trans filter and gasket yet?

For an IS 350 2007 would be the same steps ?

How will tech stream help

do you have to change the seal for the transmission when doing this?

Do you know if the hood of the RCF fits into the RC 350 F SPORT (2015)?

Are u related to the Huang Hui Seh family by any chance?hihi

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3K49grI1pZQ.html this is what shows up when you test the temperature using the OBD method. The D will remain solid and not P like stated in otter comments below. P is for ISF. I think newer Lexus and Toyota you have to look for D.

My car had 95k miles on it when I bought it and transmission fluid never was changed. Should I do 2 or 3 drain and fills to get old fluid out ?thx

How many quarts does the transmission take?

So Amsoil ATF can be mixed with Toyota WS?

What pump did you use ?

Fluid still new

Can you switch to Amsoil if you been using Toyota genuine fluid?

I would buy a car from you with that red of fluid

Where did you learn that over 100k miles you should not do a drain and flush? That doesn't make any sense to me.

F……… just spent 300 for a drain and fill at the dealer.

does this also apply to the LC500 trans?
