#4583 of 4666 Octane rating...V6 2006 RAV 4 by jimdrew Jan 12, 2007 (7:06 pm)
I also run 87 and it runs great...I see no reason for higher octane rating. My service adviser says 87 is fine.   Jimmy Drew Replies to this message: feliciatwo (Jun 16, 2007 7:45 am) ateixeira (Jun 16, 2007 5:15 pm) leeharvey418 (Jun 17, 2007 6:07 pm) desertguy (Jun 18, 2007 3:43 am) and 3 more...

Replying to: ateixeira (Jan 12, 2007 9:25 am) yes Im sure. but you can use 87 if you would like but Toyota says 91 or higher on their official ducuments... not in the owners manual. Using 87 is a selling point. Thats why they say use it in the manual. But in reality 91 is what it was calibrated for. Not to worry tho It will run fine on 87 Replies to this message: raviola4 (Jan 15, 2007 4:54 am)

Replying to: flyingn (Jan 14, 2007 9:30 am) Our other car is a 2003 Accura TL. Manual recommends premium fuel, but we run 87 octane. And 3 different Accura service departments all agreed 87 fine. Just don't get the higher performance. Seems to have good enough performance for us.
#4587 of 4666 Anyone have an issue with brakes grinding in the AM? by ogrerugby Mar 23, 2007 (6:21 am)
When I first start driving in the morning, or whenever the car has been sitting for several hours, I can hear the brakes grinding. This problem goes away after a few minutes of driving. It's almost as if there is no brake fluid circulating for a little while. I've noticed this for a while and I only have 11K miles on my 2006 Rav 4. Thanks for any help.

Replying to: ogrerugby (Mar 23, 2007 6:21 am) I noticed this a few weeks ago as well. It happens usually when it is cold out. But sometimes it happens even when it is warm out, always after the vehicle has been sitting for several hours. Replies to this message: alexstore (Mar 25, 2007 6:40 am) klcrd (Mar 25, 2007 4:01 pm)

Replying to: scottyg1234 (Mar 23, 2007 8:01 am) In my opinion it is normal. My MIL's Rav4 does it. My Maxima does it. All cars I had before , did it for first few miles after a long stay or if its cold or rainy outside. All that matters that it stops. If it doesn't and your car is pulling to one side, while braking, I advise you to visit dealer.

Replying to: scottyg1234 (Mar 23, 2007 8:01 am) I have a 2006 rav 4 6 cy I have the same problem. I ask the dealer and said it how the brakes clean themselves after sitting over nite.   I noise does go away 1 mile or less into driving and braking.
#4592 of 4666 OIL CHANGE Questions... by andrelaplume Mar 28, 2007 (5:12 am)
Two questions, the first specific to our RAV. The dealer is using sythetic oil and says its reccomended and if we ever have the oil changed elsewhere to make sure we use it. Does this sound right and whats the benefit?   Second, I had my 02 Camry's oil was changed at my tire guy while in for an inspection and tire rotation. I have dealt with them for years and years but this was the first time they changed the Camry's oil, I usually have the dealer do it because they have a shuttle service which is convenient. I noticed a smoggy smeel in the car for a few days. I thought it was the oil burning off. I drove less than 100 miles before stopping back this morning. They guy popped the hood and noticed the oil knob was very loose. He appeared very embarrased and said it must have vibrated loose. I think we both knew it was never tightened. Anyway, he re-checked the oil level, it was full. He wiped the surrounding areas and said everything should be fine. Sure enough the smell is gone. Could this have damaged my engine in any way though. So far its running normally.   FYI: If anyone has had any water in the passenger front seat around the console, tehre is a TSB to correct this now...also one for the problem where you lifet the lever to recline the seat forward and it does not spring forward....the TSB corrects this as well.
