2011Toyota Rav 4 Transmission Filter Flush

[@JuliaDevan]

Nice video. For torque specs: Oil Strainer - 7.6nm (67 IN-LBF) -- Oil Pan Bolts - 8 FT-LBF.

Do I have to remove the frame brace, or can I get the pan of without doing so.

I don’t know why people say it’s a “flush”. Your not flushing, your draining the pan and changing the filter. Total fluid capacity is +- 9 quarts. Flushing is a bad thing with a lot of miles.

[@Veyron640]

9 quarts? are you sure you referencing the correct transmission/ vehicle? 6 quarts is from a dealer database.

[@grandlakephil]

Veyron640 it has a lot of fluid in the transmission besides what’s in the pan. Valves, clutch packs, lines, cooler and torque converter. Google it. Don’t trust a dealer. I was a technician for 15 years

I just drained the oil and changed the filter on my 2011 rav4 , it was very dirty, black, was thinking about flushing all the fluid but saw your comment . You said is bad to flush the transmission fluid. Thank you .

@@davidherrera937 It's not bad to do a flush. It could be bad to do a power reverse flush with a machine especially if you didn't change the filter/screen first.

[@Veyron640]

That being said.. Let it be known, that even Toyota dealer mechs.. do not flush RAV4s they drain and fill.. just saying

[@nowayout8639]

Call it a drain and fill and filter replacement. You drain the oil from the pan and changed the filter. You did not flush anything.

[@grandlakephil]

No WayOut seen your comment after I made mine. 👍

[@nowayout8639]

You just replaced a filter that was reusable. Toyota have a screen on this particular filter.

[@njsongwriter]

Why is the filter/screen made in China? Can I get one that's not made in China? Why do you call this a flush? Did you change the fluid multiple times or just once? If just once, then it's not a flush.

I sent a reply that didn’t belong to this video,, I did find your video useful.

[@Veyron640]

people... you cover, all the redundant aspects so people, DONT ask redundant questions.. but here, we you cover that, and you get people saying.. "Way to much talking".. what year is that car? how many cylinders is that car.. how many miles on that motor. lol end result.. could care less, "too much talking" or not to much talking.. people, always got something to say.
