Rx400 H trans fluid change quantity question
Quick question from a NOOB
gonna change trans fluid on 2007 rx400h...2nd owner
Other threads got cluttered with off topic stuff
N
Was gonna use WS fluid since that's what's in there already (80k miles)
no filter correct!???on this model
was gonna do a drain and filld ...fill till the fill
port over flows?(read this somewhere)....top of tranny so gonna have to pump it in
how does topping till over flow effect the "standpipe" over flow tube when temp of fluid gets hot
Anything else I should now. Besides making sure I can open fill port
Thx for your help

I'd assume as with any drain and fill procedure, you only put in what you take out. Measure what you take out, and only put that amount back in, provided it's full before you do it. Never over fill a transmission.

Pretty much fill till overflow, about 4 quarts. And yes WS only.... I have done 5 changes with no issues by following drain and fill.

My apologies. I didn't realize the CVT fill procedure was different than a traditional transmission. After looking at that thread, I now understand why you said to fill it until it comes out. It's a similar procedure to changing differential fluid.

Hi Nick682;
Thank you for the video of how to exchange the trans fluid. I was leary of trying to do it myself but with your help I now feel better about it.
Thanks Again
