In this video tutorial, you will learn how to remove and replace the oil filter of a Toyota Rav4 while also replacing the engine oil. First, open the bonnet and remove the oil cap: now lift the vehicle and remove the screws from the oil sump guard to take it off. Unscrew the oil drain plug and let all the old residual oil drain out completely.

To remove the filter, use a socket wrench with an extension: remember that the oil filter is located underneath the vehicle! Replace it and refill with new engine oil!
