Toyota RAV4 Maintenance Schedule
Toyota has a proud reputation of developing models that will last for the long haul. You can rack up 200,000 miles driving around Worcester, Auburn, and Shrewsbury, MA, while expecting your Toyota vehicle to deliver trusted performance and capability.
To reach this impressive mileage total, though, keeping up with routine maintenance is vital. With help from our Toyota RAV4 maintenance schedule, you’ll know exactly what your model needs and when it needs it.
Planning for service in advance is simple too. Once you know what procedure is required, you can book a visit to our Harr Toyota Service Center online!
Every 5,000 Miles
The 5,000-mile marker is an important one for service. Each time your SUV accumulates another 5,000 miles, a range of basic services are needed.
A tire rotation will take place to ensure the tires are wearing evenly. All of the fluid levels in your car will be inspected and adjusted, if necessary. We’ll visually inspect parts, such as the brake linings, the brake pads, and the brake discs too.
Finally, depending on your driving habits and where you drive, your RAV4 may require an oil change at this point.
Every 30,000 Miles
When you come to the 30,000-mile threshold, a flurry of inspections will take place to ensure that your SUV will continue running smoothly. Also, there will be a number of standard part replacements.
Just a few of the many inspections that take place at 30,000 miles include:
- Steering gear
- Brake lines and hoses
- Drive shaft boots
- Radiator, condenser and/or intercooler
- Steering linkage and boots
The parts of the model that will be replaced include the engine oil and oil filter, the engine air filter, and the cabin air filter.
Every 90,000 Miles
Until you get to 90,000 miles, the types of services your vehicle will need are pretty similar—an array of inspections and standard part replacements. At 90,000 miles, a few new inspections will come into play.
By this point, your SUV has travelled a good distance, so it’s important to look at different aspects of the vehicle, such as:
- Fuel lines, connections, fuel tank band, and fuel tank vapor vent system hoses
- Fuel tank cap gasket
- Exhaust pipes and mountings
- Ball joints and dust covers
Maintenance for Your Specific Toyota RAV4
This maintenance outline for a Toyota RAV4 is the easiest way to keep up with its proper service. However, your RAV4 is unique and may require specific services, depending on how and where you drive.
That’s why it’s important for our service team at Harr Toyota to get to know you and your model. If you do a lot of towing or off-roading, your SUV will have different maintenance needs than a RAV4 that is only used for light commuting.
The RAV4 is also an intelligent model. If a specific service need pops up unexpectedly, you’ll likely be notified by a warning light on the dashboard. You can look to your owner’s manual to determine what the symbol means.
