Your best to not touch the transmission. The slightly dirty fluid has clutch material in it. New fluid will cause the transmission to slip. The only fluid that needs changed is the engine oil.

@Paul The trans will outlast the engine if you leave it alone. Everyone that I know that had a transmission fail had serviced it regularly. Everyone that I know that didn’t touch it never had a problem. It’s a case of if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

@B no......just no.....all fluids need to be changed around recommended intervals for a reason. My civic is going on 198k miles so in the next 10k miles I'm gonna get the transmission fluid changed for the 4th time in my car. My gfs rav 4 is on about 53k and it's gonna get serviced because we're not gonna brick a transmission that'll run forever if you just change the fluid....

@B considering I've bricked a transmission by not servicing it at proper intervals and had to get rid of the car at 135k miles while my civic is at 197k+ miles and still running with proper interval maintenance tells me different. Also did you not see how dark that fluid was....means over time it's being degraded due to the heat and stress it sustains while you're driving. I'm not a mechanic and I can tell you it's important to do this even though it's a closed system.

Maybe for someone that bought a used RAV4 and has no idea if it has been changed or not . But if it has the original fluid and no leaks this is the way to do it. Measure what comes out and put that amount back in. Just did mine after the first 40,000 and will do it again soon with another 2 quarts to refresh even more. Will do it 3 times to get it even cleaner. This fluid is not cheap but better to do this than have tranny issues.

Assuming the original factory filled amount of ATF WS is correct as well as the car is raised so the ATF pan is leveled with ATF fully cooled, the basic drain with the overflow tube removed should come out at 2.45 qts (factor in the fact that some ATF were on the tool, glove, etc.). If replacing the strainer/filter ~3.5 qts is expected to come out.
