Additional Notes

  • The automatic transaxle capacity for the Toyota RAV4 A1 (EU) is 7 liters across both the standard and 4WD configurations for the 1994-2000 model years.
  • A 7-liter capacity in an automatic transaxle typically reflects a full overhaul or dry fill figure, meaning the actual service fill during a fluid change is generally lower, as residual fluid remains in the torque converter and passages after draining.
  • The check interval is set at 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, under normal use conditions.
  • The fluid change interval is 60,000 km or 48 months under normal use conditions, placing the drain-and-fill cycle on a relatively long schedule relative to the check frequency.
  • The 48-month time limit on the change interval means that even low-mileage vehicles reaching four years of operation would fall due for a fluid change regardless of distance traveled.
  • Both the front-wheel-drive and 4WD variants share identical capacity and interval specifications, indicating no differentiation in transaxle service requirements between the two drivetrain configurations within the 1994-2000 range.
