hi for the rear differential fluid, Toyota ATF WS is used for 2016-2022 MY RX450h and for 2010-2015 MY RX450h we cannot use Toyota ATF WS?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

All years of rx450h use Toyota WS ATF in the rear diff. 2010-2022.

[@steveshih4622]

Thanks so much for the info. Can I use the same oil for the front diff and transfer case too? Thanks. How about the transmission fluid? Same?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi, hybrids do not have a transfer case and the front differential is built into the transmission, so its fluid gets drained when replacing transmission fluid: th-cam.com/video/wdLpuT4ctC0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2mvOIHbTiuD24vdY

Another Good vid! I will be doing this on a 16 rx350 awd, any tips for getting above the transfer case? Or is unbolting/bolting in blind the only way?
Also, does the heater just block the metal of the block or does coolant pass over it?
Thanks!!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi, the RX350 has a different setup than the hybrid models.

Block heater video (it is a dry type, no contact with coolant): th-cam.com/video/-706-bpfnz0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=yvFj0cdkmsxzICBK

So, this is only for hybrids, do you have one for non hybrids?

[@venelog22]

Title says 2010-2022 but in the video you said 2016-2022. Is it the same for 2010-2015?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Both use the same rear differential. The parts and procedure are identical.

RX450h Water pump at first opportunity. You would be the first on TH-cam to actually do the RX450h with the 2GRFXS. All the other videos for the various "GR xx do not have the same Top mount setup . So you could be the first😇.

[@EricAmazon]

Please post a video on how to replace the water pump & thermostat for the 4th gen RX hybrid too! (And how to clean the throttle body)

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I don’t have access to a hybrid RX to work on right now, but if an opportunity presents itself, I’ll make a video.
