Thank you SEARCH!! I am ordering Amsoil tranny fluid and was going to order a cooler and I thought "well an AWD car should have it"

Great show!

I would not do a flush, but a fluid exhange. The AWD takes about 9 qts. So with a flushing machinge you will need about 11. And use only Toyota Type IV or AMsoil...no substitute.

I HAVE A 2005 RAV 4 (FAIRLY SIMILAR VEHICLE) WITH AWD. I ADDED ON AN ADDITIONAL TRANNY COOLER AFTER THE FACTORY COOLER. I ALSO HAVE USED AMALIE UNIVERSAL TRANNY FLUID WITH NO PROBLEMS. (LINK http://www.amalie.com/specs/index.ht..._trans_cvt.pdf). I PLAN ON DOING A CHANGE SOON AND WILL FLUSH AND USE WALMARTS SUPERTECH DEX VI THAT IS SUITABLE FOR T-IV APPLICATIONS.

Where did you install the second cooler,in the front of the condenser? If you did,make sure you have some space between the cooler and the condenser.Or it will affect your a/c.
