Essential tasks at this milestone include inspecting and adjusting all fluid levels. This means checking the engine oil level with the dipstick when the engine is off and the car is on level ground and inspecting the coolant level in the overflow tank when the engine is cold.
Checking the transmission fluid, which is done similarly to engine oil but usually with the engine running and the transmission in park or neutral, is also crucial. Using the specific transmission fluid type recommended for your Toyota RAV4 is essential.
Additional essential tasks involve checking the driver’s floor mat installation, inspecting wiper blades, and rotating tires to maintain even wear and enhance handling and traction. Familiarize yourself with these actions, as most should be performed at every maintenance interval.
You should perform every action listed on the first maintenance checklist. On top of that, replace the engine oil and oil filter. Reset the oil replacement reminder system after performing an oil change or other related maintenance. Toyota models, including yours, have a built-in reminder system that alerts you when it's time for an oil change.
The remainder is based on mileage or time interval and it exists to change the engine oil, as fresh oil is crucial for the proper functioning and longevity of the engine.
