To change the Transmission Fluid on a Toyota RAV4 with a CVT transmission, first ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and warm up the engine. Remove the drain plug to let the old fluid drain completely, then replace the drain plug and reinsert it securely. Next, use a funnel to fill the transmission with the appropriate CVT fluid through the fill plug until it reaches the recommended level. Finally, start the engine and cycle through the gears to ensure proper fluid distribution, checking the level again and adjusting if necessary.
