2024 RAV4 ENGINE BREAK IN ***MUST WATCH*** 

Great video. I appreciate how you explain everything so clearly. Thank you very much.

I do 3 oil changes before 5k miles. 1st at 1k, then at 3k, the rest at 4k. Engine is smooth and quiet.(2021).

I changed my RAV4 oil at the first 500 miles too. The dealership changed it for free the first year every 5k miles stating they didn't agree with Toyota's 10k oil change policy. Toyota states that they break in the engine at the factory. Change your oil and it'll run 300k miles.

You really did prove the valid claims made by those magnets over oil filters. Also noticed in my Walmart Pennzoil synthetic has come out with a 0W-16. Pennzoil has tested out better than Mobil 1 in other weights.

Shouldn't you also do the break in oil change on the transmission? I'm sure there'll be lots of metal shavings there, as well.

Just did a break i oil change on my sons new civic today at 700 miles. Gonna go hacksaw that filter open and see what we see.

Thank you for your time 👍😊

Thanks for the well explained video Matthew. Looking at all the metallic particles caught by the magnet and the filter media it looks like a good idea to change the oil early as you did. Were the bigger pieces in the pleats ferrous or aluminium? Be interested to see how you get on with oil analysis in the future - have subscribed. I change the oil on my 2019 Rav4 hybrid every 6 months (approx 3000 miles) as it is used for shorter local journeys and the oil smells of gasoline after that amount of time.

On how many miles you gonna change transmission oil how many miles you think ??

28 ft lbs for the drain plug. Good video!

Please make more you tubes about your rav4

Great video and thank you , I have Rav4 Hybrid 2023 ,the first oil change I took to the Toyota Dealer in Portugal for my surprise they put the 0W-20 instead of the 0W-16 I questioned why and the answer I got was Portugal is a hot country in the Summer and Toyota Portugal decided that 0w-20 is the best choice , which completley disagree , because the manual says the right oil 0w-16 only if case is not available it can be youse the 0w-20 , I´m realy frustrated with this situation.

Pretty much all car manufacturers deliberately push the oil change service interval to 10-15k so that they can do the bare minimum all the while its nearing the end of the vehicles factory service warranty! And unknowingly to the consumers that follows the manufacturers service intervals are inadvertently causing the engine to wear out prematurely that then leads to oil burning! Almost all modern cars have direct injection engines which causes oil dilltion which thins out the oil which causes all of these problems to begin with. My family bought a 2005 Honda Odyssey brand new and the dealer recommended 15k oil changes for its service interval; safe to say we stuck with 5k oci at minimum and every third oil change we took it to the dealer. We still have the Odyssey today at 280k with no issues except for VCM oil burning issues which was remedied quickly with a vcm mzzler. I guess people nowadays don't bother with doing any thing this preventive nowadays because they don't plan on keeping the vehicle long term. Anyways, I appreciate how you explain everything concisely and clearly!

Not sure about you car but the 23 and up highlanders have a cover design that lets air go between the engine and the cover. So you wouldn’t want to take that one off. Just something to check on.

On how many miles you recomend transmission oil and how many miles you recomend rear differential oil change awd on new 2024 rav4 . Thank you

100 % right

Ive seen a lot of these videos where they cut the oil filter and look inside. but isnt that the job of the oil filter to begin with? so it doesn't circulate through the engine. changing the oil is cheap so why not but i haven't seen any videos after the 2nd oils change to see if there is anything in the filter.

TK Sir great video

Aluminum Heads, Block and Pistons. Aluminum not magnetic!

Toyota just don't make their own oil you are very wrong sir
