The 2013 Toyota RAV4 should ideally use 0W-20 Synthetic Motor Oil with its 2.5 L 4-cylinder engine, but if that's not available, it's acceptable to use 5W-20 temporarily. Just be sure to switch back to 0W-20 at the next oil change. The vehicle holds 4.6 quarts with a filter and the drain plug should be torqued to 30 ft/lbs. Regular oil changes are crucial for maintaining the car's longevity by keeping the engine clean and functioning properly. It's recommended to change the oil and filter every 7,500 to 10,000 miles since oil doesn't last indefinitely. If you take your car to a mechanic for an oil change, expect to pay between $20 and $30 for labor costs.
Is it suitable to use 10W-40 synthetic oil?
In the 2013 Toyota RAV4 with a 2.5L engine, use SAE 0W-20 oil if possible. If not available, SAE 5W-20 oil can be used temporarily but should be changed to SAE 0W-20 at the next oil change. For the 3.5L engine, the recommended oil type is SAE 5W-30. The oil capacity for the 2.5L engine is 4.5 quarts (4.2 liters) and for the 3.5L engine, it is 6.4 quarts (6 liters).
Much appreciation to you
