Hello Bruce. We are a family of four and we just bought a 2015 RAV5 limited as our first car with 97k miles on it for $10,500. Everything inside and outside is nice and the ride quality is excellent. Feels like a 3-year old car. We are glad we choosed a RAV4 just like you did.

I have a 2015 with 240k miles. I recommend doing drain and fills on the transmission every 40 to 60k miles

@ seems excessive but I’m at 100k miles and definitely going to do this next oil change thanks

I’m going to follow y’all’s advice and service the transmission just for piece of mind. TBH my trans hasn’t ever acted up but I do want this car to live a very long time

VV-I change both Timing chain tensioner. , pvc, valve I change them at 105,000 miles. It started the cold start rattle. Change motor oil every 5,000 miles. Oh, Get it Rust proved not undercoat. Rust prove it every year or every 2 years. Is cost $100 to $200 bucks. It will help stop the rust.

What do you recommend for rustproofing? And also what is this about a cold start rattle?

@HatBilly2008 Ай бұрын

@ KZbin Toyota, colt star rattle, The cam phasers on the two top camshafts go bad overtime . They’ll need to be replaced and timing chain tensioner will also, these are 100,000 mile replacement. Rust proofing, they drill holes in your car and treated with an oil compound that stops the rust and moisture . If it’s it won’t rust from the salt. You can KZbin rustproofing to understand how it works , and I live in Michigan and yes, it works

Today is the first time I hear the rattle you are talking about. If it goes away after a couple of seconds then runs fine I don’t see a need to repair it. But, thanks for the heads up I’ll keep an eye on it. I’ll look into the rustproofing as well. I love this RAV4 and it’s paid off so it’s staying with me forever! Thanks for watching!
