What kind of engine oil does the RAV4 use?
2 Answers
RAV4 uses 0W20 engine oil, which is composed of base oil and additives. It serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. The RAV4 is a compact SUV under FAW Toyota. Taking the RAV4 Rongfang 2020 CVT 2WD Urban Edition as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4600 mm, width 1855 mm, height 1680 mm, with a wheelbase of 2690 mm. The RAV4 Rongfang 2020 CVT 2WD Urban Edition is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, with a maximum power of kilowatts and a maximum power speed of 6600 rpm.
I've been driving a Toyota RAV4 for several years. From the vehicle manual and maintenance experience, I've learned that the RAV4 recommends using 0W-20 full synthetic oil because it has strong fluidity, quick cold starts, protects the engine from wear, and also saves fuel. I use Toyota genuine or Mobil brand oil, changing it every 6,000 to 10,000 miles. Never use thick oil like 10W-40, or the engine may overheat and malfunction. Regular maintenance is crucial. I check the oil level every time I change it to ensure quality. The RAV4's engine is precisely designed and suitable for this type of oil to maintain efficient operation. If you buy the new hybrid version, synthetic oil is even more essential to avoid clogging the oil passages. In short, sticking to the manufacturer's recommendations saves both hassle and money.
