Transmission stuff is always iffy, depending on where you go. I asked for some WS ATF from my dealer and they gave me the third degree about whether I needed to actually replace it. It’s as if they didn’t want to sell it to me. I told them the fluid had just started turning a little brown (which was true) and they were okay with that.
However, the Lexus maintenance schedules recommend a fluid flush at 120k miles in the severe schedule for some of their cars with an identical engine/transmission (e.g. Lexus ES vs Camry).
In my car it lists replacing the transmission fluid at 75k km (46k mi) for the additional maintenance, though I effectively never drive under the conditions listed for it. Regardless, I’m still changing my engine oil at 7.5k and the ATF at 90k.
