I concur. I do not like the fact it doesn't have a dipstick for that! Traded in a chevy silverado LTZ for my GX 550 and chevy had done the same thing. No dipstick for the transmission. About two months ago it a hose blow off the transmission coolant line assembly, no warning lights, no dashboard notifications, nothing... if I hadn't formed a habit of checking under the vehicle regularly (I'm an old man) then I may have not ever noticed until there was major damage. Glad to be in a GX, but I do miss having a dipstick!I am surprised that Lexus states no service internal for replacement of the transmission filter and oil. They reference at the end of the manual it is a sealed unit requiring no regular service but I know better than to drive it beyond 75-100K miles without servicing with new fluid/filter. No dipstick for the trans either, not a huge fan of that. Going the route of the Germans which leads to potentially expensive repairs in the future.
Does Toyota use fully synthetic 0W-20 oil in the engine from factory?Not in the manual nor has Lexus Part page updated. Do I have have the right part numbers for regular maintenance? Any help filling in the blank?

Hey Cajun Heat,Plan on installing one of these for ease of draining the oil. Have them on my other vehicles and they are awesome.

F133N: Long Nipple Oil Drain Valve With M12-1.25
These valves have 15mm hose nipples in length. We recommend using these valves on industrial engines and vehicles with high ground clearance. *NOT RECOMMENDED FOR VEHICLES WITH LOW GROUND CLEARANCE.www.fumotousa.com
Hey Don,Hey Cajun Heat,
Thanks for posting that oil valve info..
Did you go ahead and install it?
If your GX has a front skid plate?,..is the valve hidden up underneath the skid plate? Can you reach the valve handle without sliding the skid plate out of the way?
Do you need, or are you using a short length of vinyl hose?
Thanks a lot!
Don (Big Easy ‘69 to ‘73).
Hey Don,
Unfortunately we are still waiting to get our GX so can't offer anything further until we get it in June.
