- Remove the oil filter housing cap and replace the old filter with a new one.
- Add 4.5 quarts of 0W-20 synthetic oil through the oil filler cap on the top of the engine.
- Start the engine and let it run for a minute to circulate the new oil, then check the oil level with the dipstick and add more if necessary.
Common issues / tips
This generation of RAV4 uses a cartridge-style oil filter. When replacing, make sure to also replace the two O-rings that come with the new filter to prevent leaks. The oil filter housing is plastic and can be fragile, so use a dedicated filter wrench to avoid cracking it.
