Today, this guide will show you how to perform the routine maintenance service by changing the engine oil and oil filter on the Toyota RAV 4 VVT-I. First, lift the vehicle and start by unscrewing the oil drain bolt located under the engine, allowing it to drain into a container for about ten minutes.

Then, use the appropriate filter wrench to unscrew the oil filter, replacing the cartridge with a new one, as shown in the video.

Now, unscrew the filler cap and pour in the new engine oil (in this case, either 0W20 or 5W20).
