Thank you for the vid! Never changed my oil before, and like you, I’ve got a RAV as well. Very helpful! Appreciate it.

[@TJFT1234]

Great Job! Especially when it came to the two different oil filters explaining the two filters. Very good video presentation showing in great detail a simple but important part of vehicle maintenance.

[@nazarettos6987]

Thanks for positive feedback

[@Mkmartand-qr6ju]

Nazaretto, I appreciate you explaining in such detail. I came across your video on dash cam. I liked it and followed along. This time I specifically looked for your video on oil change. Your videos make a difference. Easy to follow and clear audio and language. I have a question: Did you not change oil after first 1000 miles as everyone's recommending online?

[@nazarettos6987]

I did not, i did it at 5000 miles and than at 10000 miles. Also i don’t push my car to 10000 miles oil changes, i do it around 7000

[@dinosoarmotorsports]

Thanks for the clarity on the filter part number...I was thoroughly confused by the multiple sources citing differing numbers. One even showed the cartridge type!

[@nazarettos6987]

You welcome, thanks for the comments.

[@tikimaka1]

Very thorough. Thank you for posting! And yes, you can’t beat Walmart when it comes to oil selection and price. 👍

[@jjasso75]

Thank you for the informative video. I like changing my vehicle oil instead of letting someone else do it. Recently purchased this model RAV4. I look forward to the oil changes now that I’ve watched you helpful video.

[@nazarettos6987]

Thank you for positive feedback. Yes you should do it yourself and its not difficult. I have been using mobil1 and it’s amazing oil, all my cars lasted close to 200k miles, but also do not go up to 10k mikes oil changes,do it close to 7 no more and use Toyota filters.

@@nazarettos6987 thanks for the tutoring! DIY is awsome

[@BLAZE5417]

I'm researching info about the Rav4 for purchasing. Your video helped with the oil & filter required. My dad was a self-made car guy. I've completed more oil changes before I was old enough to legally drive; more most of adult friends (men & women) in their adult life time. I'm so happy to see your video showing how to actually change the oil & filter. It's one of the easier things a vehicle owner can do themselves. Glad I found your video, like your style. Keep doing what you're doing

[@jessiealeman6932]

Excellent video my 2 year free oil changes just expired, I'm definitely doing it myself from now on, thank u

[@nazarettos6987]

You can do it yourself easily. Just don’t overfill oil 4.8 qt but fist put 4.5 and check if you need to add more. Also change oil early max 7k miles.

[@grandpa6650]

Thank you sir , I appreciate you for sharing your time and knowledge 👍👍💥💥💥💥💥🇵🇷

Great video. Orient the five quart jug the way it was meant to so it pours easier. Great discussion on the old filter versus the new filter. Thanks for clarifying.

[@nazarettos6987]

I buy oil filter from Toyota and this new one is little bit smaller, but as they told me it is upgraded.

[@sergioortega9143]

This is why I don’t take my car to the dealership. Every thing is rushed. They installed the wrong filter on your rav4 . You put in the right one .

Thank you for positive feedback. I know this DIY oil change is not difficult but i still wanted to share it with people. Glad this video helped.

[@RB66_]

Great job explaining everything here. I’m waiting for my new rav 4 hybrid on order. Please don’t use anything metal to get the plug gasket off. You will scratch the sealing area little by little and eventually it might leak. Use plastic. Also consider getting a magnetic drain plug to catch the tiniest metal shavings that wear over time on every engine. Also get a variety of much bigger funnels for adding the oil. Makes it so much easier. Thanks again for sharing.

[@nazarettos6987]

Thanks I will take it into consideration. Thank you for watching my video

[@jonathanmartell5011]

I just bought one and it is nice to know that an oil change is not made overly difficult with all the plastic covers underneath. Thank you!

I tighten the drain bolt to the point you feel it hard stop and then to point you “start” to crush the washer. 15-20 ft lbs. is just fine. Pre fill the oil filter with oil. Tighten to point of contact with engine plus 3/4 turn.

How was removing the oil filter thr next oil change around? Was it super hard to remove than before? Hand tight was suffice

[@EverydayJ1786]

You can safely use 0w20 in these engines . It's only 4 points higher in viscosity when the engine is at operating temperature. There is No difference between the two oils in sub zero temperatures . 0w16 is purely for optimal fuel economy..

[@WooshMagoosh]

Why risk it????? Just use the right oil ffs

[@thomashaggart438]

You’re not risking anything, read your owners manual..

[@user-tb7rn1il3q]

@@4RT0119 They have to say that because of CAFE. The engine will last longer if you use 0W20 vice 0W16. This probably doesn’t matter much since these engines last a million miles or more.

[@orion3706]

You made one potentially fatal mistake. You didn't chock the back wheels. If your parking brake slips and the car rolls off the ramps, it could potentially crush you. The chocks keep the wheel from rolling if the parking brake fails. Always chock the rear wheels. I changed my wife's oil this morning, made the same mistake and it scared the heck out of me.

[@nazarettos6987]

Yes you are correct, but you don't need this filter wrench tool if you buy Fram TG4967 or XG4967 premium filter. I switched to Fram and it is much easier to put them on you don't need wrench, also remember hand tighten filter to not use excessive strength.
