RAV4General discussion forum for the Toyota RAV4.
This is a discussion thread titled "RAV4 Discussion", within the RAV4 forum, part of the SUV Forums category.
Just curious if anyone out there knows what type of transmission fluid is compatible with the Type T fluid the owners manual calls for? This stuff is $30 a gallon at the dealer, so I am hoping someone knows what else is ok to use. Thanks for any advice!
My wife has an 01' Rav4. We haven't gotten around to changin the Tranny fluid yet, but I'm sure there has to be an aftermarket version. I'd be careful though, I'm not sure how that affects the drivetrain warranty, if it is still applicable. So far we love the Rav4, I'd get another one in a heartbeat, wish I could say the same for the Tundra.
We don't have one.......yet. I am purchasing a 2003 for my wife next month. Sure would be nice if the RAV4 owners could occupy a section of the TS site.
Congrats on your RAV4.......I prefer the white also.....my wife has settled on the dark blue. Regardless, I'm sure we will get many years of enjoyment out of it!
There is a TSB regarding the cat.conv. on 2001 rav's but I can't find it. There is tsb about incorrect map of ecu which causes this problem, but trust me it would take an act of congress for my local dealer to put 2+2 together.

Just pickud up a 2004 RAV4 for my wife and have not seen her since! She wanted the 5 speed and a moon roof. The three dealers that we went to said that they did not make them with that combination, but the last dealer did a dealer search and said there was actually "one" in the Chicago Lakes? District, which he got for us. He seemed to be truly surprised when he told us about it. It's a blue Sport model. Nice little ride, I didn't really care for the automatic that we test drove, but really like the 5 speed. It was this or an Outback and the Rav4 was couple of thousand less so hey, go for it.
Wondering if anyone else has a 5 speed with a moonroof, or are the dealers giving me a line of crap?
I'll keep my Tundra by the way.
Happy Hauling,
Doug

It's been a while since I read about it but I think Toyota's T-Fluid is synth and the other guys Mobil - 1 ect. were not compatable yet. I'd check it out before I used anything else. My daughter has been driving my wife's new RAV4, I'm in trouble now, I should have asked for a quantity break.
