To me it sounds like more rpm in RAV4 and so, more engine wear + more fuel consumption Very Interesting...

Toyota did the changes and upgraded RAV4 in 2009, Honda didn't. So RAV4 gets my vote. So I guess without going in to technical ... Read More...

Re: '07 4-cyl 4wd... does engine oil and/or brand of gas matter? [tigersfan]

Have a 2008 Rav4 Limited. I've replaced the oil - it's the 4cyl without 4WD.

Owners manual for the 4cyl says 5-20W is OK, but to replace it as soon as you can. I think the 6cyl uses the 5-20W ... Read More...

Anything added to the price over Toyota's MSRP is pure additional dealer profit 99% of the time (unless it's a dealer-installed Toyota option, such as step bars, which don't generally come from the factory) & (theoretically) should not be paid. However, sometimes you just can't find a dealer that doesn't include "doc" (documentation) fees of some amount. ... Read More...
