The 2025 RAV 4 I have calls for a 0-W16 weight oil and 16k km's between oil changes. The old 5W30/20 weight for much older Toyota's means it's almost half as thin and needs to be changed twice as long? How much possible innovation has occurred for 4 cylinder Toyota's on an ICE engine from a lubrication and cooling perspective? |
Here’s the original maintenance manual:
Quote:
5,000 miles or 6 months
- Check installation of driver’s floor mat
- Inspect and adjust all fluid levels

10,000 miles or 12 months
- Check installation of driver’s floor mat
- Inspect and adjust all fluid levels
- Replace engine oil and oil filter
- Rotate tires
- Visually inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs

Rest easy fella. It’s not new within the last 15 years or some plot. Called for 0w20 back then, calls for the same now.
This is for the 6 cylinder.
