Toyota Rav 4 - Video tutorial

Model: Toyota Rav 4 Xa40, MK 4 - Years 2013-2018
Part: Engine oil
Operation: Engine maintenance using Toyota Rav4 additives

When a complete service has to be carried out, the use of special additives that in some way are able to restore and improve some operating parameters such as the compression ratio can also be effective; This will begin by inserting an engine cleaner through the oil filler cap and then running the engine for a while at idle before draining the oil through the drain plug under the sump; once the oil has been drained and the oil filter cartridge with relative gaskets replaced, first insert the anti-friction additive and then fill the engine with new oil until the maximum level is reached; then change the diesel filter by filling the new filter with a suitable additive, replace the engine air filter by cleaning the mass air sensor and complete the maintenance by inserting another additive in the fuel tank.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
