I've been keeping half an eye on this thread and, while I've not noticed this myself as-described, I *have* noticed a distinct detergenty smell after car washes and when I use the wipers/squirters I can definitely smell it a bit too (I tend to be on recirc a lot though, being in Chicago where it's just a wee bit steamy lately! ) Perhaps a bit of WW or soap is getting into the intake vent and causing the smell?
 
As an aside, I'm rather amazed at how quickly the car cools down inside, despite the heat. They should've routed a duct to the rear area (even if just like Chrysler, i.e. an unpowered vent with a mechanical louver). While it is cool up front it tend to get toasty for the people right behind me.

I don't think there's any science behind the 3,000 miles oil change "standard" that many dealers and lube joints push either. I think some GI running a WWI motor pool plucked that number out of thin air.
 
Love the oil wars:

Synthetic motor oil

Where have the 6 cylinder Rav4 Limited's been produced- Japan or some state in the U.S.? What about the 2007 Rav4 Limited v6's? Anyone know where the 2007 Honda CRV will be manufactured- and what about towing capacity. When the Honda CRV comes out with a hybrid, what's anyone's guess what the towing capacity will be? I love my boat and trailer!!
