Toyota RAV4 Oil Change (2019-2024) Full Tutorial Tips And Tricks

Learn how to change the oil on a Toyota RAV4 model years 2019 thru 2024. This is a gasoline powered "North American" version of the RAV4, all of which were equipped with an inline 4 cylinder, 2.5L engine.

This can be done in about 10 to 15 minutes if you've done an oil change before. If it's your first time changing the oil, it might take a little longer. Go slow, take your time and follow each step. Try not to make too much of a mess. I kept my blunders in the final cut of this video so you can see when and how things can go a little squirrely even if you know what you're doing.

Dang it! That Rav4 looks a little neglected for under 50k miles. I chang
e the oil in my 2021Rav4 every 5k miles. I also use Mobil 1 oil and filters. So far no problems at all and it rides like brand new at 66k miles. Good video tutorial.

I'm a tool freak. Love the tools. Maybe not necessary, but can in many situations save the day or make life easier. Personally wouldn't recommend 12 pt. sockets or wrenches when initially breaking loose. Six pt to break loose. Appreciate the video. Thanks

I have a Rav4, I normally drive it about 6k miles per year. Should I replace the oil every 12 months or 6 months ?

The taller filter might be difficult to install/remove due to the placement of the oil filter (sideways close to the engine).

Never walk away from a loose drain plug, have your wrench ready. People get distracted and forget to tighten the plug!

Mobil1 is much cheaper, if you buy a 5 qt jug.

friend, don't put that mobil 1 oil in it, put the original toyota oil in it, it's the best

Waste of good oil to prefill a horizonally mounted filter, dry start is a myth. But you do you!

No thanks to the Mobil oil. One of the things that will void my warranty. And give them an excuse not to repair any problems. You ruined your engine by not using the oil that is prescribed for this car. Is what they would tell me. The first thing I asked when I bought the car. What will void my warranty..
