In 2009, the Toyota RAV4 requires Dexron VI Transmission Fluid with a capacity of about 6.4 quarts. The purpose of transmission fluid, like oil, is to lubricate and protect the transmission components from heat-related damage. The average cost of a transmission fluid change for your RAV4 is around $130 to $160 for both labor and parts totaling $30. It is recommended to have the transmission fluid replaced every 90,000 miles. Signs that indicate the need for a transmission fluid change include a grinding noise from the transmission, difficulty shifting gears, slipping during gear changes, sudden surges, and a delay in movement after shifting into gear.
The type of transmission fluid recommended for the 2009 Toyota RAV4 is dex/merc ATF, which is a conventional automatic transmission fluid.
