These brief steps will show you the procedure for replacing the engine oil and oil filter while performing the routine maintenance service on a Toyota RAV4. First, lift the vehicle and start unscrewing the oil drain bolt found on the oil sump, allowing the fluid to drain into a container for about ten minutes; you will find the oil filter right next to it, which you will unscrew using the appropriate tool to replace the cartridge, as shown in the video.

At this point, top up with new engine oil, filling to the maximum level mark on the dipstick.
