How Often Should the CVT Transmission Fluid Be Changed for RAV4 Rongfang?
1 Answers
It is generally recommended to change it every 80,000 kilometers. Transmission fluid is an oil product that keeps the shifting system clean, lubricates to prolong the life of the transmission components, and provides effective lubrication even in low-temperature conditions, reducing oil loss under harsh operating conditions. The details are as follows: 1. When changing the fluid, it is essential to use the manufacturer-specified automatic transmission fluid: This is because different automatic transmissions have varying internal structures, friction components, and sealing components. The original manufacturer's fluid is specially formulated based on the transmission's structure and materials, and other brands of fluid, even if of high quality, may not be suitable. 2. Some old fluid may remain during the change: When changing the transmission fluid, some old fluid may remain in the transmission channels and torque converter. Mixing different fluids inside the automatic transmission may degrade the performance of the transmission fluid, leading to poor lubrication or operational abnormalities, which can severely damage the automatic transmission.
