Toyota RAV4 Oil Type by Year
Newest year we have: the 2026 Toyota RAV4 manual lists 0W-8 (all (recommended viscosity)) or 0W-16 (all (only if SAE 0W-8 not available; replace with 0W-8 at next oil change)). Across 2010–2026 it changes by year and version, so check yours below. Each year links to its owner's manual page.
The Toyota RAV4 oil type depends on the year and version: 0W-16 (2019–2026), 0W-20 (2013–2018, 2024–2025), 5W-20 or 0W-20 (2010–2012), and more. Some years list more than one, by engine or version: check yours below.
