Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome!

Many thanks!

You are welcome!

Thank you very much!

Thanks for the info!

I don’t believe there is any risk if you follow the drain/fill procedure correctly. Cheers!

Will do if I get a chance, thanks for watching!

On my personal vehicle I would replace the transmission fluid every 60K miles.

It could be, but it takes so little time to set the level properly, why not do it the right way?

@@ryanmolique8137 you can drive it on the lift with the wheels in the air, or even just run it on the ground and go to park, reverse, drive with the foot on the brakes. The transmission oil pump is always running when the engine is running.

I doubt that whatever sound you are hearing is related to the fluid being old, but on my own vehicle I would replace the transmission fluid every 60K miles.

I would personally use the Toyota WS fluid.

thank you! @@Viktor_G_Automotive

@@rontan8954 no problem!

No problem! The Highlander uses a different transmission, similar to the 2016-2022 RX350 transmission, but with a thermostat that needs to be pinned. I do not have a video of that fluid replacement at this time.

@@Highstate808 you can follow the level setting procedure as shown in the video I linked earlier to see what the level is. If you have no external leaks and the fluid level was set properly during replacement, it will remain at that level, so there is no need to check it. I would replace every 60K miles.

Theoretically, yes.

On my personal vehicle I would replace it.

From experience, 2 quarts is enough to overfill it and then start setting the level by following the procedure.

Thanks. I noticed you're blur your videos now hope no legal issues. Can't have my go to master tech disappear.

@@TojiZenin3956 ran into “trademark violation” issues with my old channel, so now have to blur all the logos and references to the brand.

@@tkrice97kt this particular video does not apply to the 2017 RX350, only 2010-15 RX350 models. You would need to read and clear the codes with a scan tool. The transmission fluid replacement video for your vehicle is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rMeEgrV-mLqWZKc.htmlsi=rdLmuNOAU5uXthzV

Thank you! I do not believe you can do the zero point calibration on that model without a scan tool.

Got it, thank you!

@@Viktor_G_Automotive can you actually recommend a scan tool that can do this zero point calibration? Thank you!

Autel bidirectional scan tool that I use myself that has most of the OEM scan tool features: amzn.to/41dCLXp You should read the documentation though to make sure it will work for your model/year and needs.

Yes, you could do that.

The 2010-15 RX and 2007-18 ES will be identical to this, 2 quarts, transmission is exactly the same. If you are doing a different year RX/ES, it will be different. Cheer!

@@Viktor_G_Automotive Perfect... thank you, Viktor!

@@soccerbrett1Any time!

I would replace at 60K miles if it was my own vehicle. Cheers!

Thanks for your good answer, I will do the same. just out of curiosity, what are the manufacturer's recommended miles to change the transmission fluid? @@Viktor_G_Automotive

@@victorliu5665 the manufacturer does not provide a service interval for those model years.

你是台灣人嗎?

I would do it every 60K miles/6 years

@@ryanmolique8137 hi, as per the video, after you put it into the temperature detection mode by moving between D and N for 6 seconds: if the D indicator is off, it’s too cold, if D is on, it’s at the proper temperature, if it’s flashing D, the transmission is too hot. Make sure it says D when it is in park and neutral after activating the temperature detection mode, if it says P or N, you didn’t put it in temperature detection mode correctly.

You overfill the transmission initially and then drain out the excess.

Sorry, I don’t quite understand your question.

@@Viktor_G_Automotive I mean if the fluid filled less than requirement or fluid filled Overload, what will happening while we are driving? Thanks!

@@mubankhwamsuk incorrect fluid level can result in poor quality shifting and/or transmission damage

How long does it need to idle to reach temp for the last draining part? I’ve been idling for several minutes but the D light has not come back on

The repair manual says to make sure the car is as level as possible. I don’t know how far off the fluid level will be if you just jack up the front. It might be ok, or it might be quite incorrect, depending on the angle.

@@Viktor_G_Automotive yea not worth doing on stands..to dangerous for me

As long as you are able to get the fluid into the fill hole, it doesn’t matter how you get it in there.

@@Viktor_G_Automotive Excellent thanks so much! 👍

@@louissummers8747 no problem!

Here you go: amzn.to/3zEUs8y

@@Viktor_G_Automotive Awesome thank you! Love your content by the way. Years ago a friend told me I could never change my spark plugs and that it wasn't even worth trying, but I just watched your spark plug video and now I'm down a huge rabbit hole of learning car repairs. I'm at 60k miles getting ready to do this, spark plugs and oil change myself

@@benfirstenberg996 you can do it!

😀

The more times you do the drain and fill, the more fluid you will replace. I would do it at least once, or more if you want.

Your spot on. Just doing one drain and refill is almost pointless if 66% of the contaminated oil is still in circulation.

I show how to do it as per the repair manual, if you want to do it differently, go for it. Considering you only replace the fluid once every 6 years or so, what’s an extra 15 minutes to check the temperature and level it 100% properly.

@@Viktor_G_Automotive Good point

I would replace it every 6 years/60K miles

It's actually very easy to change transmission fluid for as long as you have code reader or follow Viktor on how to put car into TC service mode. My car is 30K, I just do a drain and fill. NX300 actually has about 6.5qts transmission fluid, but you'll only drain out nearly 2qts and put back 2qts. Even with 30K, it was actually brownish, not the red color. In order to get to that RED color, you may need to do this 3-4 times but with 23K miles, maybe 2 times. Here's the step, you don't even have to lift the car to do it. 1. Find a level ground (very important) to make sure you car is level. 2. Turn the steering to the left, on the Driver wheel 3. remove the 4 plastic plugs, go on top of it, to pull out, it will fall out, you can use a screw driver, make sure not the bottom else you'll break the plastic plugs. You can re-use them. 4. Once remove plastic shield, you'll see a fill-plug (24MM). Make sure you can remove them, if the car never been done, it comes out pretty easily. 5. drain the transmission fluid with 6mm hex, locate just below the fill-plug. 6. use same 6mm hex to remove plastic plug inside drain plug, turn left to remove it. About 1qts of additional fluid will come out. When nothing else come out, put back the plastic plug, and drain plug (not too tight yet) you will need to remove for fill level. 7. Fill the transmission fluid - 2 qts (can be tricky because of location. I use a manual 1qts manual pump.) Tighten the fill plug to 30 ft pound. You can put plastic cover back on. 8. run the car to 104 degree or 40 degree celsius. use the time to run all the Gears (10 seconds each) so that new fluid can be mixed in with old fluid. remove drain plug and let the excess drain, about 1/2 qts. Once you see trickle drop, close it and tighten it 30 ft pound. Enjoy you day! This seems like a long procedure, but it doesn't take longer than 30 mins and you don't need to jack up your car and very minimal tool needed! Good luck!

@@rontan8954 very nice!

@@Viktor_G_Automotive Thank you sir!!!! Car is driven super gently with very smooth gears switching action.

Thanks Hanz! All the part numbers listed are correct, Amazon interchange info is often inaccurate.
