Lexus LC 500/500h Direct Shift 10AT Gearbox Service Malaysia
Direct Shift 10AT (Toyota WS fluid) every 80,000 km. The 10AT is a benchmark transmission for smoothness — it lasts 300,000+ km with correct fluid. LC 500h: confirm with workshop whether the Multi-Stage Hybrid's 4AT unit requires separate service.

- LC 500h: Multi Stage Hybrid transmission — no conventional ATF service; sealed hybrid transaxle
- LC 500 shift feel: 10-speed AT on LC is engineered for smooth, rapid shifts — if shift quality deteriorates, ATF is the first check
