Hey there, glad to hear you got yours sorted out. To answer your question, I'm pretty diligent about maintenance. The last full-service check was when my LC hit 150,000 KM, and I haven't changed the transmission fluid since I bought it, so probably it's time, huh? Gonna run it down to my local mechanic and get his perspective too. Thanks for chiming in!

Hey again! Yep, it definitely sounds like your transmission fluid could be due for a change. Given the current KM on your Lexus, it's about the right stint. Remember, it ain't just about mileage, but also age. Over time, heat and wear can lead to it breaking down. And it's always a good plan to get a professional opinion. Your local mechanic will probably run some diagnostics to isolate the issue. If it is indeed the transmission fluid, a normal change won't dig too deep into your wallet. And if it's something else, you've gone a big step toward getting your ABS/DSC back up and running smoothly. Good luck, fingers crossed for ya!

Hey! Yeah, you're absolutely spot on. I reckon it's about time for a transmission fluid change given it has never been replaced. Planning to take it to my mechanic earliest tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for your help, really appreciated. And yes, fingers crossed! Will let you know how it goes. Cheers!

Hey! I had a similar trouble with my 2017 Lexus LS a while back. Although, I ain't no ace mechanic, I do know a thing or two about cars. Turned out, my gear oil was worn out. Had to hightail it to my usual workshop, where they gave me a fresh gear oil change. It set me back around 365 Euro, but got my car running smooth as silk again. BTW, do you do regular service on your Lexus? And when was the last time you did a transmission fluid change? Little more info will help me point you in the right direction. Cheers!
