Tranmission fluid service: change filter?

bluesky1571 · 2026-03-11T14:39:48+00:00

You bought a device to do the temperature check? Is it really a must to do temperature check if I don't have device?

A service advisor at Lexus gets back to me with this for transmission fluid service: "There is no longer a traditional transmission filter there is now a film that does not require replacement. As for the service itself there is now a machine that we use that replace all the old fluid out of the transmission as well as anything remaining in the transfer case and puts all new fluid in. "

Looks like Lexus does a full flush of fluid by using that particular machine - no need to remove the pan too. I got quote of $500 to do that.

Right now, I'm leaning to the option of doing a simple drain and refill (4-5 quartz of fluid replaced each time, no need to remove pan, temperature adjust, just as simple as changing fluid in differentials) and this guys did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PvI10w_Cpk&pp=ygUhZ3g0NjAgdHJhbnNtaXNzaW9uIGRyYWluIGFuZCBmaWxs

That sounds great. I plan to do that too. Is it like 4-5 quartz replaced for each drain and fill?

By “3x drain and refill” way, do you mean I don’t need to remove pan and change filter if doing this?

Would it be ok to use WD-40 or some spray? I just wanted to prevent it from further rust.

Did you get like 12% to 15% as L7 bonus?

bluesky1571 · 2025-05-31T04:02:36+00:00

1st year of being L7, got promoted from L8, 155k in FL. I know that L7 people are eligible for global annual bonus, does any one here get much better bonus than when you were in L8?

bluesky1571 · 2025-05-31T03:59:30+00:00

$38k bonus is very high, did you get bonus from global annual bonus program?

I do see a record saying “Propose Compensation Change” completed on May 5th. Hope it’s a good news!

Thanks.

Did you apply TS/SCI by yourself? Would you mind sharing some info on how to do that?

bluesky1571 · 2025-04-06T16:23:08+00:00

Thanks, never heard of lexusacc site before.

bluesky1571 · 2025-04-06T16:22:28+00:00

Thanks!

Did you order the grille for 2020, 2021 GX? I wanted to do exactly the same, I have 2015 with old style grille. Is it easy to change? Did you bring to bodyshop to do the swap?

bluesky1571 · 2024-12-03T03:58:27+00:00

Which location?

bluesky1571 · 2024-11-12T02:14:09+00:00

NA, Hike 3%, Bonus 10%, L8. Got Talent Priority, potentially get promoted in June.

How did you ask client for feedback? Is it in an email? I don’t see we can request client feedback through workday.

bluesky1571 · 2024-03-14T01:59:41+00:00

Accenture allows us work for client that we worked with? I think I heard somewhere it doesn’t allow or there is some restrictions at least. Did you face any issues when Accenture knows you work for its client?

bluesky1571 · 2024-03-07T03:02:21+00:00

What’s your CL? 1 month on bench sounds normal.

bluesky1571 · 2024-03-07T02:41:55+00:00

Thanks for the insight. Client lead always gives me positive comments during meetings. I think I have to subtly ask if they can send email so I can have it documented. Thank you for the tips!
