The 2016 Toyota RAV4 can use either DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid, with DOT 4 having a higher temperature range for better performance. While most drivers may not notice a difference, it's suggested to opt for DOT 4 for optimal results. Toyota officially recommends using their genuine OEM brake fluid 00475-1BF03, but you can use any reputable brand of DOT 3 or DOT 4 fluid. Keep in mind that quality matters, so choosing a cheaper brand may lead to problems later on. Investing a little more upfront will pay off in the long run.
