What Oil Does The Toyota RAV4 Use?

Toyota mechanic servicing RAV4

Is it time for an oil change? Whether you prefer to have us, here at Sloane Toyota of Philadelphia, change your Toyota RAV4's oil, or you're one to do it yourself, you'll want to know what type of oil goes into your Toyota RAV4. Let us help you figure out your RAV4 needs for its next oil change.

When Does My Toyota RAV4 Need An Oil Change?

This depends on the type of oil that you use. The Toyota RAV4 can use either conventional oil (the type of oil that's refined from crude oil) or synthetic oil (the type of oil that's made with chemical compounds). If your Toyota RAV4 uses conventional oil, it will need to be changed every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. If your Toyota RAV4 uses synthetic oil, it will need to be changed every 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Of course, if your change oil light comes on, don't delay! Something may not be right and will require a quicker timeline.

What Type Of Oil Is Recommended?

For good fuel economy and good starting in cold weather, OW-16 (ALL TEMPS) SAE OW-16 is recommended. OW-20 may be used instead, but must be replaced with SAE OW-16 at the next oil change.

Importance Of Servicing Your Toyota Despite Driving Less

You haven't been driving your car as much as you used to, so you don't have to worry about routine maintenance and service as often, right? Wrong! Even if your Toyota car, truck, SUV, or van hasn't been used as often as it once was, you still need to make sure to keep up with your regular maintenance and repairs. Why? Here are a few reasons why keeping up with your maintenance is beneficial to you, your stress-load, and your anxiety. Longer Investment - Routine maintenance prolongs the life of your vehicle. If you've been driving a lot, your car will need regular maintenance like oil changes, brake repairs, and tire rotations. If your car's been sitting, you'll want to make sure the fluids are full, it doesn't have any rust, and everything is moving as it should. Save Money - Even though routine maintenance services cost money to perform, they will end up saving you money on larger repair issues. For example, if you don't pay the tiny fee for your oil change, your engine could blow and leave you with a much more expensive fix. Maintain the Warranty and Value - Whether you're leasing or loaning, you'll want to have regular maintenance performed to ensure that you get the most back for your vehicle when the time comes to either return the lease or resell. Some warranties will also require you to have specific maintenances performed. Contact Sloane Toyota Of Philadelphia To Learn More About Your Routine Maintenance And Repairs Whether you're traveling from Northeast Philly, Trevose, or beyond, our Toyota service center is here to help. Contact us to talk with one of our technicians or take the short drive from Center City, Langhorne, or beyond to our Philadelphia dealership today!
