Additional Notes

  • The rear differential on the Toyota RAV4 A1 (EU) 4WD holds 0.9 liters, a relatively small capacity consistent with a compact rear differential unit rather than a full axle assembly overhaul fill.
  • The 0.9-liter capacity figure represents a service fill volume, meaning the amount of fluid required during a standard drain-and-refill procedure under normal operating conditions.
  • Under normal use conditions, the rear differential fluid inspection interval is set at 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, indicating a once-yearly minimum check cycle tied to routine service visits.
  • The fluid change interval under normal use conditions is 40,000 km or 48 months, placing a full drain-and-refill at roughly every four years or four service cycles relative to the 10,000 km check interval.
  • The RAV4 4WD (1994-2000) specification covers only the rear differential, reflecting the presence of a separate rear drive unit in the 4WD drivetrain layout rather than a combined axle or transfer case assembly within the same entry.
