(T-IV is expensive)

Done it my Gen2 RAV4 4x4. sobra itim na ng AT fluid ko. gaano ka itim? more than a black talaga. sulit na sulit. done it at 3600 total cost!

the normal drain and fill process wont do the job. this is the right way to maintain your AT life

i recommend this shop. pwede ka rin bumili sa labas ng AT Fluid. 700 labor/dialysis machine. the people here are friendly
bro.....transmission fluid ba ang pinaltan mo? o kasama na ang gear differentials front and rear? at pati narin ang transfer case?

because 17 liters drained from your transmission is way too much.

How many liters did your mechanic put in your transmission? (RAV 4 right?)

ISn't T-IV fluid is same with Dexron III ATF?
