Part: Engine oil

In this short video tutorial, you will see how to change the engine oil on a third-generation Toyota RAV 4. Start by lifting the vehicle and first remove the plastic protection. Now, place a container under the oil sump and unscrew the nut to let all the used oil drain out, then close everything back up. Next, remove the filter cartridge located next to the sump and replace the filter and gasket before reinstalling the cartridge in its housing. Once this is done, move to the engine bay and simply add new oil to finish the job.
