Fluid type explained
The 2025 Toyota RAV4, like its recent predecessors, utilizes Toyota's Direct Shift-8AT automatic transmission (UA80E or UA81E depending on the specific model and engine). This advanced 8-speed automatic transmission is designed for efficiency and smooth power delivery.
Crucially, this transmission requires Toyota WS (World Standard) Automatic Transmission Fluid. It is imperative to use only Toyota WS fluid or an approved equivalent that explicitly states compliance with the Toyota WS specification. Using any other type of fluid, such as Dexron, Mercon, or universal ATFs not meeting the WS spec, can lead to severe transmission damage, erratic shifting, reduced fuel economy, and void your warranty. Toyota WS fluid is a low-viscosity, long-life fluid developed specifically for Toyota's electronically controlled automatic transmissions. Its unique friction modifiers and additives are essential for the proper operation and longevity of the UA80E/UA81E transmission.
