Oil Change On A Tesla! Gearbox Oil Replacement For Both Motors On A Raven Model S

Video Summary

Here is the summary of the electric car video review:

The video features a 2019 Tesla Model S Performance dual motor with a Raven Powertrain. The car was brought in for a rotor coolant delete, which had already been done. The video shows how to change the oil in both gearboxes (front and rear). The rear drive unit is easier to change than the front. The Raven powertrain has a permanent magnet motor in the front. It uses two different types of gearbox fluid for the front and rear. The newer version of the gearbox fluid is called KAF1, but cannot be obtained through Tesla or vendors. Old-spec fluid must be used for the front. The rear uses SK212B, which is essentially Dexron 6 automatic transmission fluid. The video details how to disconnect the front trunk. The presenter demonstrates how to drain and refill the rear and front drive units and notes the rear drive unit here holds 1.4 liters of fluid, or approximately 1.6 quarts. Also, because there is no drain plug on the motor for the older car, you have to remove the oil pump to drain the oil.
