Lexus LS, XF30 (EU)

Additional Notes

• The Lexus LS 430 (XF30, EU) automatic transmission carries a dry fill capacity of 8.9 liters for the 2000-2003 model years, reflecting the total fluid volume required when the transmission is completely drained and reassembled from an overhauled or dry state.
• From 2003-2006, the LS 430 dry fill capacity decreases slightly to 8.5 liters, indicating a revised transmission unit compared to the earlier 2000-2003 specification.
• The service fill capacity for the 2000-2003 LS 430 is 1.8 liters, representing only the partial volume exchanged during a routine fluid service rather than a full overhaul refill.
• For the 2003-2006 LS 430, the service fill capacity rises to 2.4 liters, a notable increase over the 1.8-liter figure of the earlier variant, meaning more fluid is displaced during a standard service procedure on the later unit.
• Across all model year ranges covered, the fluid check interval is set at 45,000 km or 36 months, whichever comes first, and no fluid change interval is specified under normal use conditions.
• Under severe use conditions, all LS 430 variants across 2000-2006 carry an additional fluid change interval of 90,000 km or 72 months, a requirement absent from the normal use schedule.
• The severe use check interval of 45,000 km or 36 months is identical to the normal use check interval across all covered configurations, meaning the inspection frequency does not differ between the two use conditions.
• The gap between the 8.9-liter dry fill and the 1.8-liter service fill on the 2000-2003 LS 430 is approximately 7.1 liters, illustrating how much fluid remains in the torque converter and passages during a standard partial drain service.
• On the 2003-2006 LS 430, the gap between the 8.5-liter dry fill and the 2.4-liter service fill is approximately 6.1 liters, a somewhat smaller retained volume than on the earlier variant, which aligns with the higher service fill figure for that unit.
