#1483 of 2123 Re: Oil Change [wsommariva] by 307web Jul 27, 2004 (2:32 pm)
Replying to: wsommariva (Jul 26, 2004 10:38 am) Even 5K sounds frequent nowadays for a recently-designed engine. Are you sure the 5K interval wasn't already the "severe schedule?"

Replying to: 307web (Jul 27, 2004 2:32 pm) I am almost 100% certain that the 5k is the regular interval. I'll check tonight. I believe the severe is 3.75k Replies to this message: rickstrat (Jul 29, 2004 3:43 am) wsommariva (Jul 29, 2004 5:08 am) 307web (Jul 29, 2004 2:21 pm)

Replying to: wsommariva (Jul 28, 2004 12:16 pm) Toyota has designed a "wonderful" free option to remind you to change your oil at 4,500mi intervals. I had to dig into the manual to figure out how to turn the "maint. requir'd" idiot light off. I had already changed mine at 3k as it takes me 6 months to put that much mileage on.

Replying to: rickstrat (Jul 29, 2004 3:43 am) I checked my maintenance manual this AM. 5k is the only oil change interval.   The "maint" light is a good idea. Would be nice if we could change it to a different interval. Replies to this message: 307web (Jul 29, 2004 2:21 pm)

Replying to: wsommariva (Jul 29, 2004 5:08 am) Oh, well 5K is probably a good interval. It is already pretty conservative for a modern engine and it lines up well with a tire rotation schedule so you can just get everything done in one trip.

i wonder if the oil change schedule was changed due to the sludge problem toyota had?
#1489 of 2123 1998 Rav 4 rear seatbelt by hanshinole Aug 01, 2004 (10:22 pm)
I need to replace the rear seatbelt on the driver's side. I've replace the shoulder strap but can't figure out how to get into the seat to replace the locking strap. Does anyone know how to get the seat apart or get to the strap?
#1490 of 2123 Anyone know when the '05 RAVS will by daryll44 Aug 02, 2004 (11:23 am)
hit the dealer lots?
#1491 of 2123 2005 RAV4s by jcliffro Aug 04, 2004 (6:46 pm)
I don't suppose anyone who orders RAV4s for the entire Gulf South area reads this website? If you do, PLEASE START SENDING SOME WITH SIDE AIR BAGS AND AIR CURTAINS !!! If you need some incentive, please visit the insurance institute's website and view the side crash results for RAV4s with and without the side airbags option. I cannot imagine anyone buying this vehicle without side air bags and air curtains. So if you live in an area with a stupid supplier like I do, start demanding the option. Perhaps if unequipped models rot on dealer lots, someone will get the message. Replies to this message: har (Dec 04, 2004 2:51 pm) 55535432 (Dec 06, 2004 10:18 pm)
#1492 of 2123 Dash rattle fixed and raising height? by pitbouv Aug 05, 2004 (3:20 pm)
I've read about a common problem in RAV4's regarding an annoying rattle that plagues the dashboard area. Has Toyota remedied this problem in the '04 models? Also... what is the largest size tire you can fit on a RAV4? I'm wanting to boost the ground clearance to navigate flooded roads. Thanks!
