I'm glad Toyota is going back to traditional oil filters. The previous filters can be annoying to change.

I just changed the oil in my sister’s 21 RAV4 this morning. I just used a 65mm 14 flute cap style oil filter wrench with a ratchet and it came right off. Hit everything with some brake cleaner afterwards and then reinstalled the skid plate. Filled up the oil to 4.8quarts like the book says and then followed up with a tire rotation. I kept telling my sister that she’s over paying when going to the dealer for an oil change, $28 bucks for a 5quart jug of Mobil one and another 5 bucks for a quality filter definitely beats paying 200 plus tax at Toyota.

WHAT?!! $200 for an OIL CHANGE?! Insanity.

@Zeek800 3 ай бұрын

$200??? I don’t doubt it because I paid that ( and a bit more ) for the first oil change on our 23 RAV4 hybrid. Our Toyota dealership used to have a Toyota made sign that said “ oil change with up to 6 litres of Toyota motor oil and a Genuine a Toyota Oil filter plus multipoint inspection $69.99 “. Now, that sign has been removed because that was back around 2017 when a jug of good quality synthetic oil was around $30 and an oil filter was about $10. Ya the dealership has a big 45 gallon drum of oil and just fills up a metal jug to the recommended amount but now ( in Canada ) a 5 litre jug ( a little more than 5 US quarts ) of Mobil1 or Pennzoil, Valvoline or Quaker State etc costs over $40 or $50 and the Toyota oil filters are close to $20. Mobil1 makes the Genuine Toyota Motor oil for Toyota and the basic formula is the same for all Mobil1 oils but there “ maybe” some Toyota requested additives in the Toyota branded oil. Watch out ordering oil filters off of Amazon etc. There are a lot of knockoffs that “ look like” the real deal but often are inferior in quality. I have always done my own oil changes but since the cost jumped up to almost double what it was 5 or 6 years ago the only reason I get the oil changes done at the dealership is because the vehicle is still under warranty. If something does go wrong I don’t want to give them the excuse to say “ well you or Speedy Lube “ did the oil changes. My dealership charges 1.75 hrs labour to do the oil change. Yes they say they have checked the brake pads, the fluids, the lights and wipers etc and 5hey used to lube the door hinges. However, I watched the vehicle roll into the shop at 10:25 so I went for a walk and came back at 10:55 and the vehicle was already back outside ready for pickup. $225 later ( Canadian Dollars so maybe $175 US ) I was less than happy. Toyota recommends oil changes at 16,000 kilometres which is 10,000 miles but that is just to get the vehicle past the power train portion of the warranty 99.9999% of the time. I feel better about changing the oil every 8000 kilometres ( 5000 miles ) but I’m not going to pay $225 for the “ in between “ oil changes. Strangely the dealership gave us a “ gift “ when we bought the new vehicle . That gift was a piece of paper that basically says that this dealership guarantees the engine for the life of the vehicle as long as the oil changes are done by the dealership. In over 45 years of owning and doing oil changes myself and many many vehicles I have never had an oil related issue with any of them. I’m debating doing the oil changes with Mobil1 and genuine Toyota filters halfway in between the 16,000 recommended oil changes myself and after the Toyota warranty is done, I’ll just throw the “ gift” in the garbage and do all the oil changes myself. Yes I know that doing your own oil changes won’t void the original warranty but why give Toyota an opening to try to back out on covering any issues?

@@Zeek800I didn’t go with my sister to Toyota but that’s what she told her they charged her for an oil change and tire rotation. Being a dealership I could understand why they charged her that much because they have overhead and I don’t. I change my family members oil in my driveway using a quality oil filter and the whatever oil they bring me. Actually I’m losing money when I change their oil because I have supplies I have to use to do said oil change and I pay for those supplies out of my own pocket. Also I’m not going to destroy her drain plug taking it off and putting it back on like shops are known to.

@@Jahalang82 I have always done my own oil changes ( well over 200 times in the past 40 years ) . Yes the dealership’s “ Techs “ don’t always do a good job with an oil change. My Highlander has the famous Toyota plastic oil filter housing “ that is notorious for being over tightened and impossible to remove without damaging it. On my Highlander I had the oil changes done at our dealership because it was still under warranty and the cost was always under $100. Yes oil has almost doubled in price as well as the oil filters.When I had two oil changes in a row where the price was just over $200 a few years back I checked my receipts/ work orders after 5he second time and saw a charge of just under $50 for an “ oil filter assembly “. I asked another dealership what part that was and was told it was the plastic oil filter housing. The “Toyota trained “ Tech “ has done all the oil changes up to that point. He has overtightened the plastic housing and damaged it at removal…..TWICE in 2 oil changes. I can just hear him “ I don’t need no stinking torque wrench I know what 22 lb feet is,”. I had a Sienna that I had changed to the oil at least 6 or 7 times and never damaged that plastic housing. I also never had an oil leak from stripping the drain plug or from the filter housing. My son ha# a 2019 Buick Encore. After the GM dealership’s last of 4 included oil changes we did one ourselves only to discover the “ head “ of the drain plug had been rounded off when it had been tighten the last time.

You didn't torque down the oil drain bolt

@MPowerSubie12 7 ай бұрын

Geez the interior is as dirty as the engine bay 🤦🏻‍♂️ The new oil filter is already coated no need to double coat with oil. Normally you want drain the oil along with the filter. Also raising up the car you aren’t level so it might not drain 100%.

@GetThisNick 7 ай бұрын

Raising the front end of the car slightly with the ramps will help the oil drain better actually. The oil drain plug is located to the rear. Having the front end raised slightly is causing the oil to shift towards the drain plug opening therefore having it drain slightly easier. When it comes to refilling the oil and checking the level, it’s important to have the car level in order to get an accurate reading.

@Patrick94GSR 2 ай бұрын

Yep I noticed that. Not sure why all these rav4 videos with OEM filters show putting oil on the gasket. It already has lube on it so no need to add anything else. My Mazda OEM filters are the same way. 8 years using OEM filters there, never lubed with oil and no issues.

You can use 0w20. My gas 19 RAV4 LE runs better with the slightly heavier oil.

@GetThisNick 5 ай бұрын

Yeah I’ve read some mixed things. In the cars manual, it states that if you’re in a pinch and can’t get your hands on 0w16, that it is ok to substitute 0w20, but to make sure on the following oil change you switch back to 16. I’ve also heard of people who used the 0w20 and have reported they got worse gas mileage because of it. I guess it all depends. I try to stick with 16 when able because that’s just the recommended from Toyota and they got some smart people over there!

@user-tb7rn1il3q 5 ай бұрын

@@GetThisNick I haven’t noticed any reduction in mpg. It is probably less than a tenth of a mpg. I’d rather have better protection. There is a reason Toyota recommends 0w20 in their turbo engines. The new Camry comes with 0w8. Toyota needs to meet CAFE and sell new cars. I’m sure the Camry will still last 250k on 0w8, but why not use 0w20 and have the car go 400k+ miles.
