Replace the transmission oil on the Toyota Rav4. Lift the car with a column lift to a comfortable height for disassembly. Remove the plastic protection panel under the engine by taking out the retaining rivets.

Unscrew the bolt located under the transmission using a socket spanner. Once the transmission bolt is removed, allow the fluid to drain into a plastic container.

Refit the transmission bolt with the spanner, then top up with the appropriate fluid. Reattach the lower cover panel and tighten the screws.

Test the transmission.
