How to Check the Oil Level in a Toyota RAV4?

Model: Toyota Rav 4 MK 4, Xa40 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Engine oil

In this video, you can see how to check the engine oil level in a Toyota RAV4. First, ensure the car is parked on a flat surface and the engine is cold. Then, open the bonnet and locate the yellow ring on your left. Grasp the ring and pull it upwards to fully extract the dipstick, which you will clean with absorbent paper. Reinsert the dipstick fully, pull it out again, and check the level. If it is not between the two holes or is too close to the lower hole, open the large black cap and add oil until the ideal level is reached, which is just below the upper hole.
