2005 Gs430 Transmission Fluid Level + Rear View Mirror


Recommended Posts

Having just purchased my gs430 I've now discovered that there's no dipstick to check the transmission level, I don't see any oil leaks so presume its ok but I wanted to see the condition of the oil also. Does anyone know how to check this ?

On a separate note, I've just bought another rear view mirror for it as the one that's in looks filthy but the marks are behind the glass, has anyone changed one of these before, there doesn't look too much to it but I don't want to break anything in the process.

Thanks for any reply's.

It may be the same. I took my mirror off recently to look for a point to wire a dash cam. All I did was unclip the front of the casing and the rest was fairly obvious, the mirror just unplugs from the multitude of wires in the casing. Don't know about the dipstick, I didn't think I had one but found it much lower down than expected.

Thanks for that, the mirror hasn't arrived yet but it sounds easy enough to do. As for the dip stick, on my older ls400 the dipstick was clearly visible, but this gs430 has lots of panelling inside the engine bay to hide everything so I may have to investigate further. Thanks.
