The 2000 Toyota RAV4 with a 2.0L 4-cylinder engine needs 4.3 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic motor oil. If you're in a warmer climate, you can switch to 10W-30. You can also use SAE 5W-40 conventional motor oil, but only for short periods. The numbers in the oil's weight indicate viscosities at different temperatures - the first being at startup and the second at operating temperature. While using a slightly thicker oil might seem like a way to save money, it can hurt your engine's efficiency. This could lead to premature engine wear and potential failure. It's wise to follow the recommended oil, even if it costs a bit more each time.
