Toyota RAV4 Transmission Flush
A transmission flush is usually twice the price of a fluid replace due to the amount of difficult time the service takes and the fact that the flush not only replaces the fluid in the pan but also removes unnecessary fluid from the cooler lines and other parts of your vital transmission. A Toyota RAV4 transmission flush also uses about 10 quarts of fluid to totally clean and flush out the system.
How do you know if you need a Transmission Fluid Change or Transmission Flush?
A transmission flush is only necessary if your system contains excessive dirt or debris. If the fluid is exceptionally dark or contains other sediments, we would suggest a complete system flush instead of only just exchanging the fluid.

Toyota RAV4 Automatic vs Manual Transmission
Automatic and manual transmission will frequently require a variety of different fluids. Automatic transmission fluids are typically thinner and are frequently red or green in color. Manual transmission fluid or gear oil is more stout and thicker due to additives and other vital compounds integral to lubricate the gearbox and other parts. Manual transmissions have a higher friction environment due to the way gears are changed, thus the lubricant is immensely different.
Not only are the fluids different between manual and automatic transmissions but the level of heat the fluids go through is very different. Automatic transmissions generate ample heat and thus the fluid in your transmission must be changed more regularly. If you don't replace your Toyota RAV4 transmission fluid, your transmission will have perilous broken metal shavings and other corrosive material spread throughout the vital parts of your Toyota RAV4. You should regularly check the fluid levels between your fluid and transmission flush service intervals. In many cases, manual transmissions don't come equipped with a dipstick to check your fluid levels, so it can be exceptionally difficult to do. Call or visit Stevinson Toyota West for more data if your transmission doesn't contain a dipstick.
