Wow amazing information is a wealth of information you have passed me on and armed me with the correct advice on going forward, so al i need is ATF-WS fluid change, no filter change i assume. Just to clarify about gearbox oil from same group:Įstima hybrid dont have gearbox and especially p311 lol.,you need AFT-WS fluid and only this fluid,FE is for different gearboxes,if you use any other oil apart of ATF-WS you will kill electric motors inside,as there is no gearbox but 2 opposite pasted electric motors and differential gear(1)īoth info are from Kaspars Krumins he knows his stuff. Gearbox on hybrid is 2 opposite electric motors and differential + planetary reduction gear and that's it!! below is pictures to prevent stupid comments and manipulations, especially for estima club members i divide hybrid gearbox to show what actually is inside and please stop post wrong info about hybrid gearbox!!! Have seen a lot of discussions about hybrid gearbox type/spec and other info so to stop given totally mess:įor all members ,once and forever, Estima hybrid 2006-2018, Alphard 2009-2016 hybrid ,Vellfire 2009-2016 hybrid,DONT HAVE CVT GEARBOX!!!!! not 4 gears or speeds not 5 or 6 or 7 or even 1000!!! Given the reputation of these gearboxes, maybe the realistic lifetime of the best of them is in the region of half a million miles by which time the wheel bearings, engine, suspension and everything else will also be shot.Admins, please pin this post to every one can find and READ!! However, most people would point towards the fact that very very few of these gearboxes fail in the low ambient conditions of this country and so the effort of changing the fluid would be somewhat wasted. My guess is that once the fluid smells burnt, this is indicative of damage to the fluid itself and therefore changing it would be beneficial to enhance the longevity of the system. Of course, if owners of the CT or prius would like to lessen the chances of gearbox failure in the interests of enhanced longevity, then they should change the fluid. These tiny metal particles will not be doing the electrics or the bearings any good.Īll this does happen within the Lexus gearbox, however, Lexus (and Toyota) take the view that since, in the most part this doesn't lead to gearbox component failure within the first 100,000 miles, it is of no great importance to the reputation of the company or the product.

Wearing gears mean that tiny particles of metal are being washed around the gearbox which contains an electrical motor / generator as well as some bearings. Gears give oil a hard time in that they physically squash and break up the polymer chains contained within oil (ie the gears wear the oil out) with reduced lubrication properties caused by worn out oil, the gears will wear each other out. The Lexus gearbox has gears and a chain and an electric motor/generator in it.

Replacing the fluid will most likely prolong the life of the gearbox simply because new fluid does its job better than old fluid.

One could say that about any gearbox or engine but manufacturers prefer not to because the chances of the components consistently outlasting any warranty periods are reduced. So the fluid will stay in the gearbox until the gearbox goes wrong. I am guessing that the term "for life" means for the life of the gearbox.
