Toyota oil change: how often, and which oil
The oil change is one of the services your Toyota needs most regularly, and Toyota stresses replacing the oil and filter on schedule to avoid severe engine damage. Here is how often, which oil, and what it costs.
How often
In Toyota's 2022 RAV4 Hybrid guide, engine oil and filter are replaced every 10,000 miles or 12 months in normal use with 0W-16 oil (every 5,000 miles or 6 months with 0W-20 mineral oil).
For long periods of idling or low-speed driving, such as taxi and delivery use (Toyota's own examples), the guide adds an oil and filter change at every 5,000-mile service.
Synthetic or conventional
Many recent Toyota engines are specified for 0W-16 or 0W-20 oil. Toyota's guide says to check your owner's manual for the oil viscosity recommended for your engine.
The oil your engine needs is in your owner's manual. If you are not sure, tell us your model and year when you book and we'll use the right one.
Current prices
Conventional oil change, for engines whose owner's manual allows it: $19.95. Synthetic oil and filter change: $29.95.
