CORRECTION TO PROCEDURE: When using the 10002-00101 adjustable level gauge, use the BOTTOM of the moveable collar rather than the top to set the proper height measurement. The height is different for each vehicle, so be sure to look up the specification for your vehicle.

"It's an ingenious solution to a problem that should never have existed in the first place." -James May

Great informative video, I went in my garage and kissed the dip stick on my 06 corolla.

That was a Beautiful Demonstration, in the late 60's I worked for Aamco transmission around Los Angeles, as a fill in r& r man, and student at LA TradeTech college for Automatic transmission, I never thought this day would come, to be So complicated to do such a simple job, again, a Beautiful Demonstration, thank you.

I saw this video years ago when I first bought my 2013 RAV4 (no dipstick) so glad I found you again so the repair shops don’t act like they know it all

This video has to be the most professional and educational one out there. Only admiration to your work sir.

Hundreds of dollars worth of equipment to do the same job as a $10 dip stick, good job Toyota.

Excellent video, I clarify many doubts. It's because of that kind of engineering that Toyotas are so durable and reliable. God bless you professor.

Your thorough work (video content as well as the text under "SHOW MORE") is really appreciated. It might have been too much for some of us suffering from ADD! Your work also gives a pause for thinking as to where we have been led to as a result of technological advancement and/or profit-making pressures.

Even though the method is designed to be overly complex, I'm surprised there's not more likes for this excellent demonstration video! Not only did he show you HOW to use the tool, he clearly explains WHY you have to do it that way.

I can't stress enough to all the other technicians out there how this makes complete and total sense and also mr. Kelly I really do appreciate all of the videos you do on the hybrids and keep up the good work I think you're awesome thank you

Thank you for the details on this new kind of transmission, and especially the demo of whats inside the pan. Your video was for service shops but I'm a DIY guy. I did a fluid change today at ambient temperature. added the same amount of fluid plus a bit more. Then started the car, went thru the gears till the pan temp was 103 to 104 degrees, and drained the extra fluid as shown on other videos. All you guys posting how to videos are doing a great service to us newbies... Much appreciate all your work.

I actually prefer this "standpipe" method of checking fluid level. It's a lot more precise than a dipstick. When I do this at home I jack up and level the car. After I drain the old fluid and change the strainer, I overfill the trans by 2 quarts. Then I disconnect the trans return line, hook up a clear vinyl tube and route that into a pan. Start the engine, let the trans pump out the remaining dirty fluid. When I see the fluid begin to run cherry red I cut off the engine. Then reattach trans return line and dump a quart or two fresh fluid back into the trans. Then start the car, let the engine idle. Doesn't take long and I can feel the fwd portion of the pan, where the fluid is returning from the heat exchanger starting to get hot with my hand. The heat exchanger warms the trans fluid quickly. I initially use my infrared thermometer to check temp all around the pan. Once I see the temp climb to about 110 F in the center of the pan I pull the plug and catch the fluid that comes out in a small plastic container with a temp gauge in it so I can a very accurate fluid temp measurement. I'm usually right on the money with temp when I do it that way and this procedure is really very easy. Let the excess drain, put the plug back in and not think about it for several years till needs it next time.

Probably the best educational channel about automobiles i ever saw. I follow it for quite some time and i love it. Thank you for your lessons. I really appreciate it. Keep it coming.

The most accurate video i have seen about changing transmission oil in a toyota!! Thank you very much for sharing sir !!!

Great video. Your explanations and tutorial are EXTREMELY easy to follow and understand. Kudos to you, I appreciate it.

THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR VIDEO SIR. It was 200% helpful and I will not be committing that BIG MISTAKE to lie costumers pretending to check the trans oil level of their cars. Congratulations for your English language so it is paused, understandable and friendly…I will say a good teacher. I know a lot of teachers but you are outstanding. Thank thank thank you.

Toyota Engineers: How hard do you want us to make it to check the transmission fluid? Toyota Management : Yes.

James Schrumm, when we added the fluid in this video it dropped the trans fluid temperature by 1 degree F, it was still in the temperature window for proper fluid level setting. Thanks for watching1

Thanks for explaining the truth in this procedure. I did it exactly wrong as you predicted, but this video set me right. I even purchased a new air Compressor for all of the new vacuum tools that run off a Compressor instead of a vacuum pump. Keep on keeping on! Thanks.

Everyone that wants an unbelievable Prius education needs to sub. The professor is so talented and knowledgeable.

I appreciate the time you took to explain the details. A very informative video. I have a 2013 es 350 and you answered all my questions, thank you.

Thanks for the video John. You did a great job trying not to laugh your way through this debacle. Chapeau!

Excellent video! Seems like many of your viewers don't understand the necessity of precise fluid levels at specified temperatures. As it's been said many times, "Good enough isn't really good enough!" Just a note: that little plastic straw is known as a standpipe. Thanks for your top quality video!!!

Best video hands down on this procedure,You saved a lot of people some serious problems,I am now a subscriber!

Holy crap! I always said that french car could force you into a psychiatric clinic. But now, welcome to the club Toyota

John! This was a great video. It was very informative. I knew that the levels were temperature sensitive however, I didn't know that this procedure was so involved. Thank you.

Excellent video. I appreciate the high level of detail in your videos. Well done sir.

Thank you for explaining this in depth, love you Professor real talk I could listen to you talk all day

So, in other words, you don't need this special tool if you allow the engine (and transmission, obviously) to cool down below approximately 90 deg. F. and then just simply use the factory included level tube (on the separate drain plug). Just fill the transmission until fluid starts to drip from the level tube, start the engine and use OBD2 scanner to read transmission temperature until it reaches factory specified temperature. Once the fluid gets to a slow drip, install the level tube drain plug, shut off the engine and make sure that both drain plugs and the fill plug are tight. Job done. Very simple. This is how I do it on my 2016 4Runner. The special tool is only needed for a dealership where they don't have time to allow the transmission to cool down.

I really enjoyed your video! Thank you for sharing. I am with most people how I don’t like how they are making it more and more difficult to service your car. I get that dip sticks aren’t that accurate, however I do believe changing your fluid regularly makes the car last longer..

Absolutely Brilliant! One of the most interesting narratives I have ever seen. Thank you John. Great Job and a very Happy New Year kind Sir.

John, thank You,....This lesson complete, clear, and appreciated, Your professional demeanor , teaching a real gift to us........ Thanks Mike Sager

Thank you for this very competent and honest video.I used to change all fluids at 60K. Surprisingly, Audi told me for my Audi A4 quattro, Coolant, transmission fluid, Brake fluid wouldn’t need to be changed in lifetime.Audi antifreeze G12 or G13 has a shelf life in a closed bottle 3 years. In fact no matter what additives they add, still Propylene Glycol oxidizes and affect the engine block and heater core. The more additives, the higher risk for blockage of the heater core.Transmission oil starts deteriorating since driving 30K miles and must be changed mandatory every 60K. Never do drain and fill. This can make more worse than good. Louse deposits in the pan can travel to the transmission, and block something. This happens to my son's Mercedes Benz S550, and now he needs a new transmission. So, changing the Transmission oil, you need to remove the transmission oil pan, clean anything (there are a lot things), insert the magnet in the right place, install a new transmission filter, and put it back.All these intentional and malicious complications, makes the life of customers more difficult. The intention is, to create more problems to the drivetrain, making profit in expense of customers. At least Toyota his honest, and doesn’t spread false information, as the Audi is doing. In all my cars, I flush the radiator, and Fill up with prestone Ethylene Glycol, set the density with a Refractometr $20 at Amazon, and flush every 3 years. Same with transmision oil, brake fluid, and other fluids.

Great respect to you Sir for such a great tutorial and hands-on demonstration to prove the theory and operation. I realise that I should not attempt to check, fill or change my ATM fluid on my RAV4.. The SSTs required are prohibitive. Aisin (pronounced "Eye-Sheen" in Japanese) are respected as manufacturers of highly efficient and reliable transmissions.. This work requires high accuracy and careful temperature measurement. I wonder if the average Toyota technician will replicate the same meticulous measurement and inspection processes.

Oh Wow! This definitely a Master Class. Thanks for sharing with us and teach about all these details and documentation available

A professionally done educational video. Thanks.

What a great, detailed instructional video on this procedure so thank you for taking the time and effort in presenting us all with this information. However, I live in an apt complex where I can't even wash my car (2007 LexusES350) so my question now is: How do I find and verify that a shop in my area will perform this procedure as you outlined here? Transmissions are way more expensive than the cost of having this done correctly so needless to say, I want to be sure that it's done correctly. Thank you once again!

On my Toyota Camry & VW i have changed X’mission fluid few times over the years with success; I leave the fluid in the trunk overnight and change it next day as the fluid and the car are at the same temp; if 3 litres comes out I add 3 litres and my vehicles had no problems.

Thanks for the show that teach me to understand more for my Camry 2010. thank you so much!

Thank you very much! I was planning to do a drain and fill on my Highlander. After watching this video, I realize that im not equipped for this. I'm not even going to take the car to my independent shop for this, I'll be going to the dealership. Thanks again!!!

You can also bridge over the 4th pin and the 13th pin on the obd ii connector and the vehicle will go into trans level check mode, but it won’t do much good when the fluid is hot though.

Toyota's design seems to implement more precision than us backyard mechanics are used to. We don't want to have to buy special purpose tools for a simple fluid check. It appears a change requires dropping the pan which is also more tedious. All that aside, this is the first video I've seen from WSU and I have to give you kudos. Well done and very thorough and informative!

Thanks for the education on this topic, most appreciated!!!

You are the greatest sir. You are why I don't disrespect the highly developed. You rock sir.

I want to take your class. You are a great teacher.

The video is excellent and very detailed. However one could use the 104-113° method at home but plan a whole morning or afternoon. I see the benifits is sealing the transmission more but it sure takes some ease out of routine maintenance for the do it yourself owner.

Nice video, thanks for the all explanation very clear, very easy to understand, nice tools and nice camera too, I am learning with you too, thanks. Primer vez que veo tu video señor Kelly, todo muy excelente, gracias.

Excellent explanation of the Toyota sealed transmission system.

what is the tolerance of the transmission fluid level, +/- 4 oz, or 8 oz ? What are the consequence of over/under-fill the correct level?

Awesome info! Currently having service maintenance done on my Lexus ES 300h hybrid car which includes the transmission flush and refill. The car currently has 151,000 miles and hasn't been changed in a good while like 60,000 miles. Hope I'm doing the right thing by having it flushed!

Very in depth. Your students are lucky.

Nice video! For this back yard mechanic I am using a non contact laser thermometer on the pan. Stop at the lower temp range. Let it dribble or add. Repeat. Would love to compare my method with expensive tools. Just put in a used transmission so not ultra concerned with perfection.

I always had trouble reaching my a/t dipstick. This method seems much simpler!

Love this channel and Carecarenut. Got everything I want to know about Toyotas!

Very nice sir i watch most of ur teachings sir its all well worth a lessons. I have been doing automatics since 1990 i am still learning every day thank you my name is Alan Atputharajah i live in london.may God bless ur work

Thanks for posting! This is just insane to think its really this complicated,cause its not.

I'm rather glad I have a 2004 Camry with a dipstick. This method seems like a Mercedes over-engineered method for the benefit of the stealership.

Thank You So Much! i have the same transmission with a leak! ive found the fill plug previously but now i know how to check fluid levels. wish me luck!

What an excellent video Sir. Thanks for taking the time to educate us on this subject so many people get wrong. Is there an O-ring on the straw or does it just fit snug with out one ? I have heard it should have one, but some report that there isn't one in theirs when performing the service.

Nissan has a fill and check procedure on their CVTs too, but a service advisor explained that the service techs drain the fluid and replace it with the same amount of fluid that was taken out.

Oh that's easy. I'll just have to do the fluid level check in July or August. It is always 104-113 here in southern Nevada in July and August. I won't have to warm it up or let it cool down.

nice video bud ,i drive a 2015 camry that's going to toyota dealer here for transmission and coolant drain (165km) sure glad i did not go to local garages for this ,thanks again

Wow. That’s crazy procedures. All dip stick matters!!!

Thanks for sharing. Seems like the process of a drain-and-fill would be much simpler and less time consuming than a fluid check.

You just sold me a Honda. Thank you for sharing.

good morning .thank for all your videos we really appreciate your time to make this videos .... ...

whoever invented no dip stick and such genius ways of fluid change must be born in the BC century.

So I am driving through Baja and my transmission develops a leak. I guess I will just have to tow it home. Thanks for making my vehicle reliable and worry free.

If anyone here thinks ANY shop is doing all this to service your transmission I'll sell you a building lot on the moon for half price.....video is well done and explained though.

This video is good over explained and going to scare anyone from doing it on their own. I did my 17 camry, drove it backwards onto ramps and jacked the front onto jack stands with same level I had measuredd under the unibody. Removed the filler plug and then level straw to drain it on a washer fluid bottle I spilled probably .25 oz on the floor. Drained it on an empty engine oil bottle and measured 2.25qts. Installed straw hand tight and then drain bolt with washe. Had spare 4' hose which I attached to a funnel which I zip tied to the strut and filled the trans 2.25 qts plus .25oz I spilled. I never checked transmission fluid level ecause there were zero signs of leaks. When I removed the green straw in my case it was quite loose which got me to believe when checking the level the drain plug should be installed as soon as its starts dripping since fluid can pass through the loose threads if you wait for a long time. You can also ruin a very expensive engine by not adding the correct amount of oil but if it asks for 6 qts and you add 6 qts you should be fine not checking level afterwards.

Me parece increíble de una casa sería como Toyota complique tanto las mediciones correctas en sus cajas , con lo fácil seria poner una varilla de nivel con medida en frio y en caliente !! Un saludo y gracias por sus videos tan claros y haciéndolo que no es lo mismo hablar que hacer !!

All my life I was Called A Dipstick but after watching this Video (feeling Ill!) Im The Man!

A much easier system is to drop the pan and let out the transmission fluid. At this time replace the transmission filter as well. If you are careful, drop the pan without spilling any fluid, and put the fluid into a measured container. This quantity subtracted from the amount of transmission fluid specified in the owners/service manual is the quantity of fluid in hoses or the internals of the transmission. Hopefully these two figures are close to each other. If there is a large discrepancy, then you might want put the same amount of fluid you drained back into the transmission and drive the car for say 50 miles. Now the dirty and clean fluid have mostly mixed and is relatively clean. Drain the oil from the pan again and fill with clean fluid. Now your transmission should have close to new transmission fluid. WTF isn't cheap, but this procedure will also let you clean the bottom of the transmission pan where metal particles settle. If you have something to lift the whole car, such as a floor jack and put the car up say one foot up on blocks, you can get to the transmission on a sedan. The blocks you use must be equal on all wheels and the vehicle is level. You probably have enough room under a truck or SUV without lifting the car. The floor jack with a small piece of plywood can be used to lower the transmission cover without spilling it. Most transmission covers are not completely flat and hold some fluid in it, so just draining and replacing fluid is just not quite right. The temperature expansion problem on this video can be avoided by letting the transmission fluid you drained equal the temperature of the new fluid you will put in. If you have a transmission leak around the transmission gasket you might have to make a guess how much fluid leaked out, and add an additional amount to the new fluid. Audi was probably first to introduce engines where fluid levels can't be checked. Avoid German cars as they are overly complex money pits that the average car owner can't fix. I'm disappointed with Toyota going this route. I'm glad my Prius doesn't have this nonsense.

Great Video and much appreciated. Very well explained.

he explain very well ,I love it the way he explain . thanks

Great video and well explained. IMHO Toyota makes this transmission fluid check/replacement very cumbersome!!! As technology advances, things should get simpler and easy; what's the use of newer technology that's not accessible.......!?

Yes fluid expands when hot. Wouldn’t it be easier if the fluid straw was set at the cold (contracted) level and the fluid checked at the cold non-expanded level? This may mean that the car set overnight to completely cool before checking and the fluid level. Compensating tools would not be necessary. Too easy?

Great video, reminds me why older cars are simpler to work on. Anyone else caught the "charge accordingly" line.. that's all i remember

Very informative. Thank you. I own a Lexus RX 350 with the same drive train.

Thank you for informative videos. I have a question for you professor. The volume of the fluid changes depending on temperature but the weight remains the same therefore, if we know the exact amount of fluid, are these complicated processes really necessary? I want to hear your thoughts on this.

OOOOOh what a feeling!!!! idiot Toyota engineering/Aisin

Iam good with my 1999 Toyota Camry I just did the transmission filter and fluid 3 quarts I spent $ 11.99 for the kit and about $16.99 for the oil I did the labor ready for another year or 30 thousand miles. My Camry has a dipstick. Thank you very much.

I love this video ,prop to the man teaching

My ATF fluid research has led me to discover the following information. I document it here as well as on several Wikipedia pages I created/modified on Mercon, Dexron, Mopar, and Toyota automatic transmission fluids. Lifetime Fluids and Dipstick-less Transmissions: The 1967 Ford Type-F fluid specification was intended to produce a “lifetime” fluid which would never need to be changed. This is the first of many Ford “lifetime” fluids. The 1974 Ford Car Shop Manual reads "The automatic transmission is filled at the factory with "lifetime" fluid. If it is necessary to add or replace fluid, use only fluids which meet Ford Specification M2C33F. Many other transmission manufacturers have followed with their own "Lifetime" automatic transmission fluids". To understand how a fluid can last a "lifetime", a study of the 1939 Chrysler Fluid Drive Fluid is needed. The November 1954 edition of Lubrication Magazine (Published by The Texas Company, later known as Texaco) featured a story called "Evolution of the Chrysler PowerFlite Automatic Transmission". This article described the fluid used in the 1939 Chrysler Fluid Drive and its subsequent revisions and enhancements through 1954. A section of the feature described the lubrication of the Fluid Drive's fluid coupling, it reads "The fluid drive fluid coupling is par­tially filled with Mopar Fluid Drive Fluid, a spe­cial highly refined straight mineral oil with a viscosity of about 185 SUS at 100° F., excellent inherent oxidation stability, high viscosity index (100), excellent ability to rapidly reject air, very low natural pour point ( -25° F.) , ability to ade­quately lubricate the pilot ball bearing and seal surface, and neutrality towards the seal bellows. The fluid operates under almost ideal conditions in what is essentially a hermetically sealed case, the small amount of atmospheric oxygen initially pres­ent being removed by harmless reaction with the fluid so as to leave a residual inert (nitrogen) atmosphere. As a consequence it has not been necessary to drain and replace the fluid, and the level-check recommendation has been successively extended from the original 2,500 miles to 15,500 miles and finally to "never" - or the life of the car. Since drains and level checks were not only unnecessary but frequently harmful ( through the introduction of more air, and seal-destroying dirt) Chrysler eventually left off the tempting level­ inspection plugs. This mechanism is therefore one of the very few that is actually lubricated for the life of the car. There are now myriad examples of couplings that have operated well over 100,000 miles without any attention whatsoever and were still in perfect condition when the car was retired." Umbrella Style Automatic Transmission Air Breathing Suppressor (TABS) from a 2017 Chevrolet Bolt EV Any automatic transmission fluid will last longer if the transmission case could be hermetically sealed, but transmissions have several potential entry points for air: 1. The Dipstick Tube. Any transmission with a dipstick tube has the potential to let additional oxygen into the transmission through a dipstick or dipstick tube plug that is not fully seated in the tube, or through the process of using the dipstick to check the fluid level. Many modern transmissions do not have a dipstick, they have sealed transmission fluid level check plugs. By removing the dipstick, the transmission manufacturer has also removed a potential entry point for oxygen; this reduces the potential for fluid oxidation. A sealed transmission will have longer transmission fluid life than a non-sealed transmission. 2. The Transmission Vent. Transmissions need vents to compensate for internal pressure changes that occur with temperature changes. Without those vents, pressure could build resulting in seal and gasket leaks. Older transmissions had large vents with not much more than a steel wool filter to keep out larger contaminates. The large vents allowed for easy inlet and outlet of air which results in additional oxygen being introduced into the transmission. Oxygen reacts with transmission fluid and can cause oxidation, rust, and corrosion. Ford, and other transmission manufacturers have learned to use smaller vents with one-way Transmission Air Breathing Suppressor (TABS) valves in them to prevent oxygen entry into their transmissions. Any automatic transmission fluid will last longer if it comes from an unopened container 1. Containers storing automatic transmission fluid (ATF) should always be sealed; if exposed to the atmosphere, ATF may absorb moisture and potentially cause shift concerns. 2. When performing repairs on ATF equipped transmissions, it is important to use only new, clean ATF when refilling the transmission. Never reuse ATF. Lifetime automatic transmission fluids made from higher quality base oil and an additive package are more chemically stabile, less reactive, and do not experience oxidation as easily as lower quality fluids made from lower quality base oil and an additive package. Therefore, higher quality transmission fluids can last a long time in normal driving conditions (Typically 100,000 miles (160,000 km) or more). The definition of 'Lifetime Fluid" differs from transmission manufacturer to transmission manufacturer. Always consult the vehicle maintenance guide for the proper service interval for the fluid in your transmission and your driving conditions. Example: A 2018 Ford F-150 with "Lifetime Fluid" could have three different fluid service intervals depending upon how the vehicle is driven: 1. Normal Driving - Normal commuting with highway driving, No, or moderate, load or towing, Flat to moderately hilly roads, No extended idling. Replace automatic transmission fluid every 150,000 mi (240,000 km) 2. Severe Driving - Moderate to heavy load or towing, Mountainous or off-road conditions, Extended idling, Extended hot or cold operation. Replace automatic transmission fluid every 30,000 mi (48,000 km) 3. Extreme Driving - Maximum load or towing, Extreme hot or cold operation. Replace automatic transmission fluid every 30,000 mi (48,000 km)

Thank you for the superb video. One question I have is in regards to proper leveling: Where do you measure that? Use a level on the unibody rail underneath? Also, it appeared that you did not re-install the original red straw before putting the plug back in the pan. This video got my subscription. Please keep up the good work!

Well done and great details. Much appreciated.

Great job in being thorough!

Drain fluid from transaxle and fill with a measured amount for that transmission/vehicle. Why not just measure it once from the factory, and then after we drain fill with exact measured amount according to fluid specification/capacity chart?

Hi John, this is very informative video, at it was mentioned before this is one of the best channels in youtube for technical information. I think it is stupidity from manufactures to take the dipsticks away so we have to pay one hour of labor on the dealer to have the ATF checked. What I think will happen, people will neglect this fluid level specially when the car gets older and fluid will leak eventually resulting in a total transmission failure. I have this transmission in our 2014 Highlander, so now I know that cold procedure can be done with no tools. Thanks for the video!!!

That’s a great video to learn from, thank you so much! I changed transmission fluid on my old Corolla before so when I didn’t see a dipstick on a new Corolla when checking fluid levels it got me really confused

He didn't design the car. You can thank the engineer for that. Keep it up man, love the instructional video. Hard to find a good instructional video that teaches the new generation on how to do things properly. Sometimes they are not the easiest of ways to do it. But if we teach them proper procedure things will be done right the first time.

A simple fix is to replace the straw with a length corresponding to 185 degrees.

Since the fluid expands in a predictable way wouldn't it be possible to set the fluid to a level with the "straw in it's normal position, then use a chart/table that says how much extra fluid to add, depending on temperature? For instance no fluid would be added at 113deg, but at say 150deg a cup of fluid would be added after the fluid is drained from the straw and capped off, at 185deg 2 cups (1/2qt) is added etc. No need for special tools.

very good video contains a lot of very useful information thanks Mr JOHN for post it

My respects to you for sharing your knowledge

You didn't recheck the transmission fluid temperature after adding room temperature fluid to confirm that it was still above 185 degrees. The additional of the room temperature fluid could have lowered the temperature of the fluid in the transaxle. Do you recommend rechecking the trans fluid temperature before adjusting the level... i.e., after adding "cold" fluid?

My brother-in-law has a 4Runner and I had just done a transmission service on my truck. He started to tell me about this procedure and what he had to go through just to check his fluid level. I didn't believe him. I figured that's just too ridiculous to be true. Lmao , I guess not. He went to a few different lube places and they didn't know how to even check it. He had to go to a Toyota dealership and they told him he would have to come back because he didn't want to wait for it to cool down, lol. He ended up going to a different dealership and they took care of it. After seeing this and talking to him I still have a hard time believing that this is what you have to do. I like doing things myself as much as I can, mainly because I know it's being done right. Hell, I like doing it myself just to make sure it's being done at all. Some places rip you off and you won't even know it. with this situation you are totally at their mercy and have to take their word for it. You can't even go home and verified for yourself unless you get an engineering degree, 😂😂. Then again, they are pushing that lifetime fluid crap anyway. Yeah, they last lifetime all right - it's just a very short lifetime. Lol

Very informative. Great job.

just found this and subscribed. exactly what I was looking for. my son has a 2011 Lexus is250 awd with 143,000 miles. daughter has a lexus gs350 f sport with 42,000 .
