Difficulty, time, and cost are estimates when this guide gives them. Torque is a cited figure, or it is left off.
Main source: RAV4 Owner's Manual OM0R024U, maintenance data. Helm lists this publication as the 2020 RAV4. (opens in a new tab), Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., published 2020-01-01, read 2026-10-15.
Numbers on this page come from the cited source. Match the engine before you use a capacity or a torque. Do not work under a vehicle held only by a jack.
The oil named in the maintenance data
No drain-plug torque is printed. The capacity is a reference. Warm the engine, shut it off, wait more than 5 minutes, and read the dipstick.
