The 2016 Toyota RAV4 comes with a 2.5 liter 4-cylinder engine that requires 4.6 US quarts of 0W-20 oil. Maintenance for oil and filter changes should be done every 7,500-10,000 miles or 12 months with synthetic lubricants, and every 3,000-5,000 miles or 6 months with conventional oil. Synthetic oils offer advantages such as improved lubrication, longer service intervals, and better performance in extreme weather conditions compared to conventional oils. The 0W-20 oil's thinner viscosity allows for smoother movement in cold temperatures, effectively protecting engine parts from friction and corrosion. The cost for a lube and filter job typically ranges from $133 to $145 including parts and labor.
How can I determine which type of oil to use for my recently bought used car, a 2016 Toyota RAV4 XLE?
The 2016 Toyota RAV4 SUV is most efficient when it is fueled with fully synthetic oil of SAE 0W-20 viscosity. To fill up the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine in the RAV4, you will need 4.6 quarts of oil.
Please inspect the oil cap on the top of your car.
