    Go for it, be good to see how it works out. Technically the gearbox oil is good for life, but in the above thread its pretty clear that replacing the oil and flushing can have great benefits, especially if you are holding onto the car for a while / driving it hard.

    Plenty of good salesman out there, there is no special tool / easy way for flushing. You let it get cold. completely, overnight, then refill with the specified fluids, check, test, check then test again. There is no easy way.

    The Lexus master technicians advice will do me fine. Each to their own though, let me know how you go.

     Sealed for life means the life of the item (gearbox) before it eventually fails.

    It doesn't mean it cannot be made to last longer by performing preventative maintenance.

    Servicing will make its " life" longer.

  2. Had an approx 200k trip today from Ringwood to Sorrento and back (Inc a stop for a few hours at Peninsula Springs for a soak :) )

    Saw the best fuel figure Ive had so far. After a couple of days of small local trips I was suprised to see the Tank average drop from 12.8 to 8.8.

    Then it kept going right down to 7.7l 100/k after about 70 k's on. 

    It was freeway driving but Ive never had a run this low before.. pleased aye :yes:
