How To Change Oil 2012-2018 Toyota Rav4 | Easy DIY Oil Change
In this video I change the oil in a 2017 Toyota Rav4 with the 2.5L engine. This applies to any Toyota Rav4 from the 2012-2018 model years. The car takes 5qts of 0W-20 and a paper filter. I also show how to reset the “scheduled maintenance” indicator on the dash when complete.
Materials used:
Toyota Oil Filter Wrench: amzn.to/3eyYbu5
5Qts 0W-20 Full Synthetic Oil: amzn.to/3D69xzH
Denso Oil Filter: amzn.to/3KROovb
Car Ramps: amzn.to/3cXKlRp
Oil Drain Pan: amzn.to/3TIRsxw

Thanks for shutting off the annoying indicator! I needed that.

Just completed the oil change in less than 1/2 hr following your recommendations. Perfect . What impressed me on the oil fiter housing is the ratchet typ mechanism that prevents the Filter housing from unscrewing . Good Job MattDIY

Thanks for the tips! Mission accomplished. That filter housing must have been torqued on because I nearly threw a rod trying to get it off! Why do they do that?! lol

@matt-diy 2 месяца назад

You are welcome! I have no idea. I think it’s lack of understanding. The gasket is there for the very purpose that it doesn’t need to go on super tight, but the regular oil mechanic probably thinks you tighten everything lol

As long as it is between the notches you are good it can be all the way to the top if you want to use the full 5.

same dude, i dont know why it was so tight had to use a breaker bar to get it off

@perchdt 28 дней назад

Wouldnt it be a good idea to pour some new oil in the filter housing before you put it back on? I’ve always done this with conventional filters to make sure there is no pause in oil flow when the engine cranks.

@matt-diy 27 дней назад

You can but not a big deal, it will be a very short period that the filter is dry.

Can I do the oil change on driveway that has slight incline or has to be flat surface?

@matt-diy 3 месяца назад

Incline is fine just check the level on flat ground.

@Cableman-hr2uu 22 дня назад

do you need to replace the crush washer of the screw every time ?? or you can reuse it ?

@matt-diy 22 дня назад

You can reuse it if it’s in good shape.

@jianaizhu5202 5 месяцев назад

@guyfromage 3 месяца назад

How often would you need to worry about changing the smaller O ring?

@matt-diy 3 месяца назад

Not very often, I would only replace if it was damaged or leaking.

@shobuddy Год назад

I have never been able to get that drain plug off the oil filter. I have tried but when I try to ratchet it off, the filter assembly itself loosens up.

@matt-diy Год назад

Yeah and that’s okay you really don’t need too just helps make it less messy.

@Wiratius6 2 месяца назад

Hi, have you ever had, a situation when you put the oil filter wrench on the oil filter too hard and can't remove that? I have this situation now and I don't know how to remove it after replacing the oil filter.

@matt-diy 2 месяца назад

Yes! It’s common, grab a socket wrench or small hammer and tap all around the wrench until it falls off or gives loose!

@@matt-diy Thanks, I'm gonna try it

@in-depthtraining1224 4 месяца назад

Why would you lubricate a brand new O-ring with old, dirty oil?

@matt-diy 4 месяца назад

Helps it make a better seal, you don’t want a dry O-ring on metal.

Hello brother I have a question I have the same Rav 135k mile burning oil I have fo as 1 quart every 1000 miles. Switch to 5-30 oil it’s little better. I thinking about changing the pCV valve does that help. Please advise much love from chicago.

No freaking way I'm doing all of that every time I have to change my oil. My 2018 Honda CRV has a traditional oil filter that's as easy to change as any regular oil filter. No special tools needed, no assembly required. I just spin off the old one with my bare hand, spin the new one on with that same bare hand. Why on earth would a manufacturer like Toyota go to this convoluted crap?

@matt-diy 3 месяца назад

Not sure but it’s really not a bad job and less waste. Just take the cap off and replace the filter I don’t think it’s that much more difficult.
