Love how you bonded with your daughter over this. Great Dad, great daughter!

[@Emthe30something]

Not quite ready to invest in the kit to get it done. But now I'm a lot more comfortable to get it done myself someday. Thanks!

[@jeffnicholas6342]

I have a 2008 RAV4!! Same color too! I forgot how relatively easy it is to change the oil yourself! Thanks for sharing

[@marspalk7611]

Oil change cost about 70 tom80 dollars now for full synthetic. For filter and oil 0w-20 cost around $25.00. So you do oil change for $25.00 to $30.00 dollars.

This was informative and cute! Thanks for posting this one!

[@slab817]

Very nice and thorough, I like it

[@njsongwriter]

It looked like you used a torque wrench to put on the drainplug which is good but I didn't notice any torque specs. I may have missed it since I had the volume turned down. Torque specs ... Oil pain drainplug = 40 N•m (30 ft.lbs.) Oil filter cap = 25 N•m (18 ft.lbs.) Oil filter cap drainbolt = 12.5 N•m (10 ft.lbs.)

Those are the specs we used - thank you.

Great video! Helped me with my RAV4

[@YourHomeGarage]

I’m glad - thank you.

[@rogerbec5766]

I noticed you have a V6 like mine. How many quarts did it take and is that 5W-30 Full Synthetic oil the one required for these vehicles. Thanks.

where can i buy the ramp and the stopper? (What are their actual names?)

[@dennisking1555]

Ok ,I am doing an oil change on my RAV4,the oil filter (alloy original oil filter from the factory) was on so tight,i broke 6 different styles of extraction tools even the one bought from Toyota,this is a terrible design and needed a three foot long extension bar and all the strength I could muster before it finally moved ,a whole three days of trying ,the filter has no gasket and the alloy became bonded to the case ,as I was unscrewing the filter the air was filled with dust ,so be prepared for the long haul,

[@YourHomeGarage]

That’s crazy!

[@brianallen6933]

Once you've taken the old filter out I would put the new o ring on 1st before putting the new filter in so you're not potentially wiping old oil on the new filter plus it gets caught on the new filter.

[@jerryjerry0806]

Don't understand why Toyota designed such a stupid oil filter.

My first car,a 1963 chevy impala,283,had this same set up."what goes around,comes around?
