Engine Oil

For the 2024 Toyota RAV4, the specified engine oil is SAE 0W-16. This is a low-viscosity oil designed for modern engines to improve fuel economy and performance. It is crucial to use oil that meets the API SP specification. The capacity is approximately 4.8 quarts for a complete oil and filter change.

Notes:

• Using a different viscosity oil can lead to reduced fuel economy and potential engine damage.
• Always use a high-quality oil filter and ensure the drain plug gasket is replaced at every oil change to prevent leaks.

Engine Coolant

The 2024 RAV4 requires Toyota Super Long Life Coolant, which is a pink, OAT (Organic Acid Technology) coolant. This coolant is pre-diluted and should not be mixed with water. The total capacity of the cooling system is between 6.2 and 8.4 quarts, depending on the specific model and powertrain.

Notes:

• Never mix different types of coolants, as this can cause gelling and clog the cooling system.
• If you need to top off the coolant, use only Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or a compatible OAT coolant.

Transmission Fluid

The automatic transmission in the 2024 Toyota RAV4 uses Toyota Genuine ATF WS (World Standard) fluid. This is a special low-viscosity fluid that is not interchangeable with other ATF types. The total capacity is approximately 7.8 quarts.

Notes:

• Using any other type of transmission fluid can cause shifting problems and damage to the transmission.
• This is a "lifetime" fluid, but it is recommended to have it inspected periodically and replaced if it becomes dirty or discolored.

Transfer Case and Differential Fluid

For all-wheel drive models, the transfer case and rear differential require specific gear oils.

• Transfer Case: Use Toyota Genuine Differential Gear Oil 75W. The capacity is approximately 0.4 quarts.
• Rear Differential: Use Toyota Genuine Differential Gear Oil 75W-85 GL-5. The capacity is approximately 0.5 quarts.

Notes:

• It is important to use the correct gear oil to ensure proper lubrication and prevent wear.
• These fluids should be inspected at regular intervals and replaced as needed.

Brake Fluid

The 2024 RAV4 uses DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. These fluids are compatible with each other, but it is best to use the type that is already in the system. The brake system should be bled and the fluid replaced every 2-3 years, as brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which can lead to corrosion and reduced braking performance.

Windshield Washer Fluid

There is no specific type of windshield washer fluid required for the 2024 RAV4. Any high-quality washer fluid will work. The reservoir has a capacity of 4.8 quarts.
