Thanks for this. I did see a video that mentioned this. My 6 speed doesn't have this so I'll have to find it on the 8 speed and prop it open before I start anything.

Thanks guys! I did look at multiple online Toyota parts sites and I could not find it. It was easy for my 15 Camry, but this was tough. This thread proves that as there are 3 part numbers here alone. https://www.toyodiy.com/ is awesome! I didn't know about that site. I put my VIN in there and...

I want to do a transmission fluid change on our 2019 RAV4 with the 8 speed. I already did it on my 2015 Camry with the 6 speed on these sealed units. Anyway, I cannot find the part number for the fill and drain plug crush washers on the 8 speed. The dealer won't even tell me because they said I...

Yours is Clarios/JCI! I'd be all over for that for $50. I'm not sure about the East Penn/Deka value battery.

I'd be all over these if they were JCI/Clarios. However, the ones at our local Walmarts are all East Penns. This is my hesitation.

In my area, the cheapest Value 24F is only $48.88!

That doesn't look like an East Penn or JCI battery. Wonder who makes that one. Made in Korea?

I can confirm the OEM battery was 582 CCA and it still works at 6 years. Last time I had it tested it was still putting out 400 something. Which I why I like JCI batteries, which is what it is. I have always had them work up to 5 years plus, then changed them when they tested marginally. So a...

CCA is different too. Value battery is 585 and the Maxx is 725. So there is definitely more guts to the more expensive battery.

Thanks for the info guys. I am a Sam's Club member (not Costco) so the Duracell is an option. I can tell you the Everstart Maxx and the Duracell 24F are the exact same East Penn Battery down to the CCA. The Everstart was just rolled back to $89 with a 3 year warranty identical to the Duracell 3...

I'm looking for a new 24F battery for my '15 Camry. I have had really good luck in the past with Johnson Controls batteries. The OEM battery is a JCI battery made in the US and still tests good at 6 years (I'm just changing to be proactive). Before I had bought JCI batteries at AAP with the...
