1:05 Removing the transmission fluid level drain port plug and ATF WS fluid clarity
2:39 Fluid level check temperature must be 95 to 108 degrees Fahrenheit for proper fill
3:22 Transmission fill plug removal tool and 24mm socket size
4:24 Transmission oil fill plug removal process behind driver side exhaust pipe. Bolt labeled WS
5:40 Transmission fluid pump and fill hose adapters
6:35 Toyota fill adapter does not fit. The pump has many adapters, one of them will fit
7:40 Why your transmission might be overfilled or underfilled even when you think it’s correct
8:49 Opening up the check valve plug for the second time to check the previous fill accuracy
10:30 Make sure the check plug is installed before turning off the car
11:05 Excess fluid inspection and draining the pan of the old fluid
13:25 Comparing the bright pink new fluid to the old brown fluid
14:25 Potential symptoms of old ATF or transmission shifting weirdness that could be resolved by new fluid
15:21 One more drain and fill for good measure after cycling the transmission through all the gears
16:16 Starting the car and checking the fluid level after draining and filling. Did we pump enough ATF back in?
19:05 The exact amount of fluid and dribble you want in the transmission pan
19:45 Test drive to see if the shifting is any better. Maybe? Hard to tell the LS460 is a finicky one.
Simple drain and fill ATF WS on the Lexus LS460L. The transmission temperature has to be between 95 and 108 degrees to check the level. The car had a new transmission installed at Lexus in October of 2018 with 101k miles. So this fluid is 6 years old with around 25k miles.

If no issues and simply doing for maintenance, measure what you take out and fill with same amount of new fluid. For Toyota stick with Toyota fluid and gasket and filter if dropping pans and replacing filter.
I had my local independent Toyota/Lexus shop do a drain and fill for mine at 150k miles along with coolant and diff. Hopefully I'm good until 200k. I'm still burning a quart of oil every 1k-1.5k miles. It's the only thing I keep a pretty close eye on at this point. I still keep looking for fun at 2016-2017 model years which seem to be the absolute best for the 460
Just sent my 430 ecu to get repaired for the hard downshifts
