2013 RX450h Differential Fluid and Transmission fluid

Hi,

Is it true that the RX450h uses Toyota ATF WS fluid for BOTH the differential and transmission fluid? I'll be honest that I didn't even know that the RX405h has tramission fluid, as I read it has CVT transmission and requires some sort of different fluid. Appreciate for any insights.

Thank you!

it is an eCVT not to be confused with a regular CVT. The Toyota WS is the correct fluid for both and essentially acts as a cooling 'bath' for the electrical components as opposed to a lubricant.
