2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid - First Oil Change
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июн 2022
- First time oil change on the ole Hybrid RAV4. Mostly meant to give you an idea of if you can do it yourself or not. Tools needed. Not meant to preach my 1,000 mile oil changes on new engines.
I totally agree on the 5k oil change. 10k is way to long. All the manufacturers are pushing the engineers to the limit to help reduce oil waste and to compete with other manufacturers claiming they can go 10k.
Amazing video thank you.
I completely agree with the 1000 mile initial oil change. In my engine overhauls of the past, I used to change the oil after 500 miles. Engines are expensive, oil is cheap, as they say. Also heard that Mobil 1 synthetic is synthetic made from crude oil. Don't know if that's true or not. Found Pennzoil Platinum Full Synthetic 0w-16 is made from Natural Gas and is about $2 more per quart.
Fully support the oil change every 5k miles! Keep up the great videos!!
I had a 2021 Rav4 XLE, bought new. I did my 1st oil change at 1200mi, 2nd one at 4200mi, 3erd at 8200mi and the dealer did the freebee at 10k miles. I changed every 4k after that. That engine was strong and quiet. Makes a Big difference, changing it often.
i also am a 1,000 mile oil change guy for new vehicles. thats interesting on the fram tough guard oil filter.. its a 15,000 mile oil filter and had a nitrile anti drain back valve. well it was black in color which normally indicates a nitrile rubber instead of the orange silicone. great video! beautiful vehicle.👍
Great job! I think I have the exact same ramps. They look the same age and have worn identically as yours. I love them. I think I got them from Sears back in the 90s. Might want to get you some Harbor freight wheel chocks to put on the rear wheels just as an extra safety item. Also, may consider a Fumoto valve. I love them have them on three cars. They’re awesome! Thanks for posting.
Good advice. Thanks Leo.
This is awesome. Thank you for doing this.
Excellent idea!
While it shouldn’t be necessary to point out the importance of remembering to reinstall the drain plug, as a kid I distinctly remember an older friend dumping 6 quarts of oil in his crankcase, only to discover that it had drained directly onto his garage floor. I felt very badly because I might have been a distraction. Anyway, this is a very useful video, but I wouldn’t leave out that important reminder. 😉
Totally agree on 5k oil changes. Toyota plainly states in their maintenance schedule that there are many exceptions to the 10k recommendations. It takes 30 minutes and $35 to swap your oil. You're talking about a ~$500 difference over 150,000 miles to just do it.
Can you make a video showing the procedure for starting the hybrid in engine mode so that the oil cycles through the engine initially are replacing it? There should be a combination of additional steps to place the hybrid car into engine only mode and then are it’s shut off it should start up the second time in electric mode.
My issue with the botton blastic cover is if there is a leakage you would not be able to see it. Great job.
Very informative video. Are you up for a collaboration on Toyota airfilter change by the way? We supplies parts for some of the toyota vehicles and also the parts for small engines and we are looking for youtubers to work with to share more tips on vehicle maintenance and small engine repair.
First oil change at ~1000 miles and then 5k miles or 6 months is the play.
RIGHT ON! ✊🇺🇸
No it is not.@@riceburner4747
my taco is same way on the filter i put enough oil in it to soak the filter media.
FYI those free oil changes you can get them any time it’s just you use it I got my first one at 7500 miles then I got the second free one I think at 15,000 and they rotated the tires so it’s just a freebie
Are the Toyota oil plugs magnetic?
New car had aluminum shaving in the oil first few oil changes. When the warranty expired I went to 10w-30 ( may lose a mile or so on the
mpg but oh well) never had problems I’m way over 200,000 miles on odometer. Buy OEM filters online better price by quantity
Forgot to mention I do oil changes on all my cars every 3,000 miles. Always use OEM filters had bad experience with aftermarket always leaking. As of today no oil filter leaks 2007 Honda, 2016 Hyundai, 2017 Honda. Proud to say NO oil leaks from OEM oil filters
What style filter remover wrench did you use? The kind that fits over end of filter, or the older strap style with swivel handle? Just curious if the strap style would work ok, given location of filter. Thanks!
A small strap style. Not a lot of room but it works! :)
I have a new RAV4 and instead of buying a dedicated oil filter wrench I just use a pipe wrench was able to get it on there. Pipe wrenches work. Great for oil changes on most vehicles. Since I do the changes all the future ones should be hand tight anyway.
Don't forget to "torque" that filter back on! @@ore83
Totally agree it’s what I do Toyota will leave you in the dust with a warn engine once the warranty runs out.
a question: do you know the bulk oil the dealer is using is it the same quality oil that toyota recommend ? the oil should be 0W16 GF6B
I can tell you there not using quality oil. They buy at bulk the cheapest oil they can get. I know many friends they work for Few dealers.
Toyota branded oil is made by mobil 1 so mobil 1 oil or Toyota branded oil it's same product, RUclips channel The Car Care Nut says it in one of his episodes, he covers Toyota cars only
@@MarianA-vu8tb- there’s a guy that used to work at Mobile on one RUclips channel. I specifically asked him does the Toyota brand even though it’s made by Mobil have a different additives than the Mobil1 brand. He said it did. I don’t think it truly matters though. We’re talking about the minutia now. I wish Costco would start carrying 0W 16.!!
Any ideas why Amazon and Walmart displayed Advanced Full Synthetic SAE 0W-16 Motor doesn't fit RAV4 Hybrid 2022 ? Do i need special 0w-16 ? Thanks in advance
Pennzoil & Amsoil are truly outstanding brands.
NZ
@@johnmartin7158- Amoil is a great oil I’m just not gonna spend the extra money for it based on doing changes myself every 3000 to 4000 miles. You’ll never convince me that it’s going to matter one iota over the life of the car. And I’m talking about cars that make it >250,000 miles. I just use Kirkland synthetic and save over half $$ over something like Amsoil. Just not worth it
Yeah, I have a 2022 NX250 and the Lexus dealer here in Australia refuses to perform the complementary service at 7500kms.
If the dealer won't do it, then do it yourself.
It says in my Toyota manual that came with my 2024 Hybrid to put 4.8 quarts of oil when a filter is used.
4.8 quarts = 153.6 oz.
5 quarts = 160 oz.
Are you trying to tell me that the 6.4 oz.,
[An ounce is TWO tablespoons.]
difference (less than 1/2 pint), will make such a devastating difference to your engine??????
No, it's 4.5qt or 4.3L in my manual. 2024 Hybrid RAV4
Doing wife's 2022 Toyota rav4 xle hybrid oil change. 10,000 way too long.5000 miles
The much maligned FRAM filter on the internet.
Well, Said!!!
Engines are expensive, and oil is cheap, Fully support the oil change every 5k miles! Keep up the great videos!!
Probably would stay away from Fram. I like Wix filters...
My manual says 4.5 quarts ? I have a 2024 rav4 hybrid
Same here
Isn't car supposed to be level when changing oil?
No but should be when checking it
Dynamometer testing of OEM new engines: oil change should be in 20 to 30 hours running service. 1000 MILES for first oil change is ideal.
I'm pretty sure you won't find that exact part number for the oil filter from the factory as the replacement filter will be a different part number.
I agree with your change interval recommendation; every 5k for synthetic or 3k for conventional. However if you do over 90% highway driving and nothing that would be considered severe use then every 8k or 10k might be okay but why risk it? I change ours every 5k on our 2009 RAV4 but I change the Fram Ultra filter every 10k since it's rated for 20k. I did an oil analysis to confirm that the filter is still doing it's job at 10k.
I always do the filter first in case it won't come off.
Good idea. One time I changed my own oil after a shop did it prior. I literally had to hammer it off because the shop over tighten it to hell.
You'd be better off leaving the old Toyota oil filter on than putting on a Fram.
Absolutely no need to fill oil into the filter
No reason not too either.
10k oil change for a 0W-16. After 10k miles the oil is probably a 0W-1
