- Learn how to quickly and easily change oil on a 2019-2022+ Toyota RAV4! Toyotas are built to last so be sure to give your RAV the best so that it can last 300K+ miles! Do it yourself so you know it is done right!
Thank you for making this. My father passed when I was young, so I don't really have anyone to ask about stuff like this.
Just bought a 21. The way you operate mirrors my approach. This was helpful. Thank you
Very well done, I like your easy going style. It is obvious you care about taking care of what you own, and doing the job right. Your pride in that is obvious and I like to see it. I know your daughters will be taught to do the same.
Great video. Thank you for taking the time to share all of you knowledge and experience!
Thank you for taking the time to do this. This was an amazing very clear video and we all appreciate it, sir. I just got a 2020 XL premium and I’ll be changing my oil very soon.
Thanks for the video. Didn't even know about the crush washers didn't see that on any of the other rav4 oil changing videos. Ordered some just in case. Will be using the tip on tightening the bolts too. First time changing the oil myself and you made it look easy.
You are very welcome! Thanks for the positive feedback. You are doing it right by gathering everything that you will need ahead of time as that makes for a successful job and more fun for you as well. It feels good to do it yourself and know that it is done with more care than most shops would take. It is also fun to get to know your car and spot little things before they are big problems. Go for it! Best wishes with the oil change!
My dad was a mechanic for a good portion of his life, built his own muscle cars, etc etc. I wish he took half as good of care of the cars he handed down to me than you do. Father of the year and a responsible car owner for sure. Great video, great general advice! This is a gold standard DIY oil change video and I've done more than my share of my own oil changes. I came here just to get more of an idea of what the Rav4 looks like under the hood, I really enjoyed watching this.
Thanks for this video! I'm finally going to start doing my own oil changes!!
Great video. I am going back to changing oil. I just don’t feel safe having other people doing the oil changes on my cars. I have a 2019 Rav too. I love driving it.
Excellent!! Thanks for sharing, great video and audio!! Off to buy my oil and filter !
Amazing step by step instructions. Shows u really care about ur work and viewers
Good video. Just bought a new RAV4. Nice car. Looking forward to taking care of it.
A couple things. This is a good video but here are a couple Tips to add. After getting everything you need ready and before going under the car, loosen the oil filler cap and set it on it's side on the hole to prevent anything from falling into the engine but mostly it allows the oil to drain a little faster and easier.. Like the guy below mentioned, don't put the full recommended amount of oil in in this case 4.8 quarts put in 4 and a 1/3 qrts in put the cap on the filler hole and then try the engine running a bit to check for leaks after turning the engine off. Put the vehicle back to level ground and after 3 or 4 minutes, check the oil level again. and add some until the dipstick shows a level halfway between the two marks on the dipstick. As oil warms up it expands so a little more than halfway between the marks is ideal and too much oil is almost as bad as too little. Also at your next gas fill up and after waiting a few minutes after the engine has been off, check the oil level again and if it's okay, check it every other oil change or every month or so.
You meant to say, 'check it every other gas fillip'..... not every other oil change, correct?
Yup i have been screwing up 30 plus years thanks.
@@HB-yq8gy It's alright, we all screw up from time to time. Some, for longer and more often than others apparently.
While oil does expand it is also being pumped up to the head and runs back down. I don’t think your gonna run into a problem with the oil level being too high.
Dang! I have been doing wrong for decades. Luckily, none of my cars has broken down for changing oil wrong way.
Thank you so much, loved the video on the oil change 👍🏽
Thank you. Very detailed video. I read the comments for extra info.
Very nice clean video, thank you for helping us with your heart
Great tips can’t wait to try on mine thanks 👍
I love your attitude man! Great video thanks.
Thank you for this, especially resetting yje maintenance in the computer.
This is by far the best oil change video i have seen on utube.WAS in VA
Thank you very much! I love maintaining stuff. ;).
You're so right, this is the best oil change video I seen ever.
You did a perfect demo for oil change
great video man. l can tell you love your SUV and you really look after your vehicle. Well done!
Thank you! Good read, I do love maintaining stuff properly, probably because I had nothing but beat up stuff that I had to MAKE run when I was younger. A reliable car is such a nice thing to have and maintain.
Excellent video (even though I know most of this stuff, just wanted to visualize what I'm getting into on this particular vehicle before doing the actual job). I like your presentation style and relaxed demeanor, that brings the video to the next level ....
This was very helpful. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the video! This is a great step-by-step instruction for beginners and you touch on many of the fundamentals. Hope to get more great contents from you!
just a awesome video very helpful thank you
I would use a stubby ¼" drive ratchet for R&R of the 10mm bolts on the access plate.
Thank you for this video. It was very helpful!
Thank you so much! Worked great!
Thank you, excellent description!
great video - very thorough
Great tip on removing drain plug gasket
Really well explained. Thanks!
Great walk through, thank you!
Thanks for the video, clear instructions easy to diy
You're very welcome, thanks for watching and the positive feedback!
due to the extra around the waist i use ramps on my 2021 rav4 LE i have changed it once i got 3 years free oil changes when i purchased it
Nice video thanks! Might be worth mentioning to initially fill a bit below the recommended quantity. Then wait and check level and fill up the the requested amount. So you don’t overfill when you didn’t drain completely.
Overfilling can damage your engine.
Actually, most must have come out, because when I checked the oil after adding the recommended amount it was just lightly below the top level in the safe zone, perfect place to be. However, if in doubt, as you said, it is always better to underfill, check and bring it up to level than to over fill. In a pinch, you can always let some oil back out if you do over fill the level. Good point to make.
Thanks
I never figured this before and always wondered why the exact amount led me a bit over. Knowing is half the battle as GI Joe used to say. Thank you for your comment.
Yes, apparently these engines are more sensitive than most to overfilling, especially the earlier years with it starting with 2019.
Such a great video...thanks!
Nice video, detailed instructions. Just one minor thing, the N1 filter comes lubricated from the factory, so it's not necessary to lube it.
Thanks men! Very informative💪
2015 Tundra and 2023 RAV4 in my fleet. Also have a Honda but was a Ford fanboy most of my life. Owning fords, I was always under the impression that all vehicles have lots of issues. My tundra taught me that Toyota is worth the extra $ and the reliability and quality is real.
Car Care Nut Channel says to let the motor run for at least 5 minutes. Then let it set until the oil drains back in the pan before checking the oil. Some 303 protectant would help keep the plastic protected.
VERY NICE PRESENTATION…. THANK YOU VERY MUCH….
“Toyotas are so easy to service there is no reason not too”. I couldn’t agree more!
Not the 2016 4Runner.
Changed my share of oil before and maybe it's the camera lighting but by looking at your oil I would be changing in half the time as it appears to be milky
Great video, thank you.
Thanks for the video! I have a 2021 RAV4 XLE also, it is my 4th Toyota. I agree with you it’s been my experience that if you take care of a Toyota they will take care of you.
So true, if you maintain them, they will run and run and run!
Great video! U are fortunate u can get under w/o lifting.😂🤣Anyway, I LIKE raising front of any Toyota. Drain plug is on the rear of pan & I feel "tipping" engine towards back drains ALL oil. Jst my opinion. Great advice on how often & supplies! U got a 👍 up'd & sub'd.
Thanks for the positive feedback, much appreciated! I agree, all the oil came out as when it was refilled it was just right on the dipstick. Thanks for like and subscribe!
Great video throttle on John! I just did my wife’s 30 K maintenance on her 2019 RAV4 highbred XSE! I am with you two times they overfilled at the dealer..if they can’t get that right how do they do the technical work! I am with you that money goes in my pocket as good as the dealers! You’re doing it right a flat rate mechanic won’t do what you do?? The more they get out the more they make! I try to buy OEM whenever possible I’ve had good luck that way!
Thank you very much! Yes, we can take the time with an oil change and do a few extra things that the dealer doesn't have time to do and/or won't take the time to do, plus since we are taking out time we get it right every time! Can't go wrong with OEM, I stick with OEM filters and oil just like you. Toyota quality always seems to be so good!
@@throttle-onJohn I don’t care I’m doing 5000 mile oil changes really not that hard on this vehicle!! my 2013 had a cartridge filter what a mess no matter what!
Bought a certified used Toyota, had low coolant on the L mark and ~0.90 quarts of overfilled motor oil that I just had to drain out. Good cars, not so good dealership mechanics lol
@@guidedbygreen1480 Always so good to be able to check basic things ourselves. These basic checks do so much for longevity of our cars. Good find, nice work!
@Throttle-On John Toyota do you change oil after five thousand or ten thousand
I have a '97 4Runner that still runs and looks like new. Besides preventative maintenance like LBJ and a timing belt, the only thing that actually went bad was a fuel pump on year 22. I can confirm Toyota's seem to last forever with basic maintenance. I can also confirm that BMW does not. The wallet over thickness light comes on nearly every payday. Anyhow, done with that. Sticking with Toyota products from now on. Hoping our new RAV and Tacoma additions have the same track record as the old 4Runner.
How many miles does your 4runner have?
Thanks for commenting! 4 Runners are amazing machines, they just run and run! Great choice! I hear you on the BMW, great performing machines but need some love now and then, but pretty to look at and perform great!
Good video - very clear
Nicely done.
Clean video bro, put more videos about rav4 2021. Thanks
Awesome video. That definitely will save people money.
Removing and setting aside the oil cap also helps the oil drain faster. Also reminds people that there's no oil yet haha!
Excellent video !
Thank you for waching! 😉
I always shake the oil bottles before pouring. There are settled additives that need to be suspended in the oil. All in all a very good video, but I tend to be in more of a hurry. For example, I clean the leafs,etc. while the oil is draining or while I am pouring the new oil.
I always add some oil to the new filter before installing.
Especially with the filter installing upside down, all this can do is help.
Good video, Treat yourself to a 3/8 torque wrench for the drain plug bolt.
My compliments! I recently changed my 2021 Rav4 Oil Filter and found out that the most Filter Wrenches have a 3/8in drive slot. Did you find any 1/2in drive filter wrenches that fit the 90915-yzzn1 oil filter? If you know of any please let met know where to buy one. I am a fairly large guy and I found out that I had to decide what I was going to do before I went under the car. Turning myself over under the car was next to impossible and I used ramps in my garage. If you can do an oil change on this car without ramps, I salute you again. Bravo!
Very nice 👍 thank you
I'm pretty sure 0W-16 only comes in synthetic.
Toyota OEM filters are pre-lubed. No need to apply oil to the gasket. Other brands that are not pre-lubed do require that so good to mention it in the video.
You hand tightened the filter. You don't hand tighten the drainplug. Using a wrench, even though it's not a power tool, is wrench tight...not hand tight.
Just below the full mark on the dip-stick is good. If you warm up the engine to full operating temperature it would likely be at the full mark.
Good job! One of the better oil change videos.
Great feedback Jack, thank you so much for your detailed feedback! True, filter is tightened by hand 3/4 turn past when it first seats, drain plug started by hand and then snugged up with ratchet. Your comments will help others as they watch and learn. Thank you for watching, commenting and the positive feedback! Much appreciated!
I have 21 RAV4 LE fwd n I went to the Toyota dealership they told me every 10,000 miles to change the oil n thanks for the wonderful video I might check couple of places to check the prices! This is my first Toyota😮
Full synthetic is good for 10k miles.
@@HWG-wm8ld i have to for 57,550 for my first oil change in my rav4 so how that goes when it’s time for me to do that
😳@@abbyhunker3956
Great video thank you! Just bought a Rav 2022 XLE and I don’t have any ratchet, washer, 10mm socket or even a oil filter wrench . Where should one start if I want to do this myself? Would it be safer to keep the car on ground or drive it up in to ramp like you have it here? Thank you 🙏🤗
Thanks for the extra info about replacing the washer from the oil plug. Great video 👍👍👍
Hi, thanks for your detailed video, can you share where can I buy the oil filter removal tool? thanks
What brand or part number is your oil filter wrench? Exellent video
Thanks so much!
Good Job!
Thank you sr. 🙏
Thanks for sharing
What kind of tires are on your RAV 4?
I wish they made recycling easier with pickup on your terrace like the city does for leaves. There's no standardized rules for.pickup locations. I would gladly pay an extra $10 to 20 in property taxes for pickup service of used chemicals. Thanks for your attention to the little details.
Excellent points, thanks for commenting and contributing.
Thank you! Awesome tips!
My 2005 corolla just hit 250k miles and going strong.
Good job, that shows me two things: 1. Toyota makes a great car. 2. You do an excellent job with maintenance 👏!
Well done.
Can you provide an amazon link to oil filter wrench device that you used to remove it ?
Awesomeness thanks
What is the break-in procedure for a new Toyota 2.5?
Mine is a 2021 Rav4 XLE gas, after 3k miles my oil still looks like new. Yours looked like Hershey's chocolate syrup. I'm a fanatic about oil too, when it looks dirty, it gets changed. Maybe it was just the lighting or camera that made it look dark. Nice car.
Nice Rav! Yes, the lighting somehow makes it look like black gear oil. It did look bad, but when I poured it into disposal container later it looked a little better. I think the oil gets contaminated quicker during the winter months and with outside storage. I also have a short, 2 mile commute which is the worst for oil. However, the oil only had maybe 2500 miles and 6 months on it. I agree though, it looked so bad!
Great video. Word of wisdom the crush washer is supposed to be changed with every oil change, They are super cheap no reason not to buy 4 or more at a time to keep a stock on hand. This will not only prevent oil leaks around the plug as the plug and pan make a mating impression on the washer but after a crush washer is used once the second time the torque spec will be off which can lead to over tightening and stripped threads.
Good and tight is all you need. The torque spec is probably no where near stripping anything
There's a much more important factor to replacing the crush washer. And that's not having your drain plug backing out doing down the road. Screw the leaks and the stripped threads, that's an easy fix. A drain plug backing out at 70 mph is instant loss of oil pressure and loss of an engine most likely.
How do you get the mantience due light off on dash when oil is changed?
Hello, sir! How much did you spend for the oil and filter? Also where did you buy your tools for doing the oil change?
Overall, well done!
Thank you!
I have a 2020 RAV. This is a great video. I would add 2 things. Put a brick behind back tire just in case. I elevate the drain bucket on some bricks because the initial splash when drain plug is pulled can splash out a little. That being said, yours didn't seem to splash.
Thank you! Great suggestions, love it! Keep them coming. I got lucky this time with the lack of splash. ;)
Given the location of oil filter, do you think one of those strap style swivel handle filter wrenches would work ok? Or would I need the end cap type that you use? Thanks!
Just wanted to mention that OEM oil filters comes pre lubed, so no need to lube the gasket.
Not for nothing but did you remove the stuck on old crush washer? I saw it stuck to the oil pan, but the video didnt show you removing it. Nice vid....
You should always change the oil sump washer. You also should remove the filler cap and dip stick before draining.
wrong!
@@phillyretrokid What's wrong about it? I've seen cars with reused crush washers where the drain plug backed out on the road. Absolutely stupid not to replace the crush washer.
I had a copper washer on my Corolla for the entire time I owned it (15 years). Never replaced it, just reused it every oil change. The oil plug never backed out and never leaked. I plan to do the same thing on my RAV4.
Thanks!
Just got a rav4 and I have the same concern of taking it to the dealer for an oil change. I had my 2010 highlander taken to the dealer and they messed up the placement of the o ring in the catrige style oil filter and I got home with half oil had leaked out.
Thanks for sharing! Your story is just what I was talking about. Great example. 👍 It is so nice to do it yourself to perfection every time. Sometimes I get close to taking it in for an oil change but in the past it came back with a new door ding or something mechainically not quite right, or stripped oil filter access screw plate holes, or something else... Now I just do it myself and then none of those other things happen. Your story could have ended really badly if you hadn't caught it! Good job investigating!
Great job and thanks for this video. My wife and I are expecting our first new car this summer, 2023 Rav4 LE. We're looking for long term ownership but the car will be doing 2 minute commutes every day and a 30 mile trip on Saturdays. The engine definitely won't warm up in our Canadian winters. Should we have a remote starter installed and have the vehicle run 10 minutes or so before the short drive to work? Thank You
In winter:
1.Just open your garage door,
2. Start your car,
3. Let the engine run for 5-10 min.(according to the temperature of the day)
4. You can leave home then.
@@crystalcup244 Thank You.
Thank you
Some dealers are saying the oil does not need to be changed until 10k miles unless the car has been driven extremely hard . Has anyone changed oil in longer intervals ¿
Great video on oil change!! I have a 2021 RAV4 XLE Premium. Just one question - is there any need to use a torque wrench when tightening the oil drain plug or do you just do it by feel?
You're a man after my own heart! I've been wiping the engine bay in all my cars forever. The engine looks new for as long as you have the car!!!!
You mentioned changing motorcycle oil filters. Do you ride? If so what is it?
Cheers!!
I’ve NEVER used a torque wrench. Just tighten till it’s snug then go 1/8th more with a new washer
No, prefilling the filter?
Thank you for this well made video. I’m doing my first oil change tomorrow @ 2k miles as a “post break in” oil change- cars one month old. My first shock was how affordable an OEM Toyota filter and 5qt of oil is. My next shock is seeing in this video how easy the filter is to access, as well as how easily that oil pan gasket can be changed in the future. Before this RAV4 I’ve been driving a BMW last couple years, and it’s about $90 for a filter & 7qt of oil. As well as a nightmare if you have to repair an oil leak lol.
You are very welcome! Nice job on doing a post break in oil change, well done, might as well get that stuff out of the motor. Yes, so true, super inexpensive to do it yourself and everything is so nice to access. Certain vehicles make a simple oil change a real pain and expensive, but not the RAV 4!
Yup, me too the dealer filters are much cheaper never thought about it.
What size does the oil filter remover? Where to get the ring?
All cars are easy to maintain when they have only 12k miles on them.
Transmission fluid is my main concern. We need videos about doing that and stressing when and why it’s important to do.
Splendid!!
Hi John, thank you for this great video. Would you be able to tell us what ramps you were using in this video to lift your rav4?
Thanks for watching and for your kind words! The ones used in the video are called Rhino Ramps. These look like them: Check this out on Amazon

@@throttle-onJohn Awesome thanks again. Have you encountered any problems with your rav4, i just ordered one and curious on the reliability of the newer models? But it is a Toyota after all.
@@minimike4915 Hi Mike! Great choice, I have had zero problems with my Rav4 over 4 years and almost 20k miles. It still runs and drives like new. 👍 My 15 year old daughter will be driving in less than a year and I will be passing it on down so I have a Rav4 Prime on order. I'll do a comparison video between the two when it gets here, which probably won't be any time soon. No complaints on my Rav, it is my favorite vehicle to drive on a daily basis. 👌 You will love your Rav!
@@throttle-onJohn Great Stuff, I appreciate the replies. Take care and be well.
