Toyota RAV4 Engine Oil Change Maintenance Explained

The RAV4 engine requires oil changes just like any other combustion engine. The engine benefits from oil changes at the recommended miles because this cleans the engine by removing the broken-down oil full of debris, and introduces the thinnest viscosity lubricant. Oil changes at the recommended miles are proven to improve engine performance for longer.

Conventional Oil

Conventional motor oil is refined petroleum with additives that improve its resistance to thermal breakdown. Conventional oil has a recommended change interval of 3,000 to 5,000 miles.

Synthetic Oil

Synthetic motor oil is manufactured with petroleum-based resources. It has been significantly refined to the point that it is considered to be man-made. It has the smallest molecule and thinnest viscosity. It also resists thermal breakdown for longer than conventional oil. It comes at a slight premium price yet the price is often an investment in the best lubrication and extended oil changes of 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

What Happens with Extended Oil Changes?

Extended oil changes are never a good idea with habitual extended oil changes delivering increasing engine risks with each one. An extended oil change happens after the recommended miles. This means that the engine has been running on sludgy, debris-filled motor oil during the overage. Here are the proven risks of extended oil changes:

Increased friction & heat among internal parts
Premature wear & tear of internal parts
Reduced fuel efficiency
Shorter engine life
