Replying to: gregorylynn (Sep 16, 2009 10:11 am) My wife has a 2007 RAV that I rarely drive. Back in May 08 I drove it, knock in the steering, took it to the dealer while still under warranty. They said they could not hear anything - all was normal. I was not aware of the TSB's at the time. I drive the RAV again this summer, knock is worse, now out of warranty. Bring the vehicle back to the dealer, they now acknowledge the knock but say "sorry - vehicle out of warranty, you have not had all you maintenance done here - we can't help you, repair will be about $700" Toyota Corporate listened very well then said " sorry out of warranty" I called around and talked to several service managers and finally found someone willing to do the right thing. TSB repair was completed for $300. Still way too much money to pay for an obvious design defect. Toyota's failure to stand behind their product has made this the last Toyota I will ever own!

#755 of 761 What do I need to change the oil in a 2009 Rav4? by township75 Oct 24, 2009 (6:21 am)
Hi,   I am looking to do my first oil change on my 4cyl 2009 Rav4 Limited in about 1000 miles. I have been researching what I need to do, and about soiled myself when I learned the oil filters weren't the simple spin-on canister kinda.   Could you please tell me what types of tools and/or kits I need to do this. I have the 5 qrts of 5w-20, and I have a new filter, but it didn't have new o-rings. I also take it I need a special tool to take off the oil filter...where did you get yours, and if you have a part # please let me know.   Also, if you have any advice for making the process easy (besides going to a real mechanic), please let me know. Thanks!
#756 of 761 Rav4 4 2007 4wheel drive more driver leg room by samidog Oct 30, 2009 (6:46 pm)
Is there anyway to increase drivers leg room by moving the seat track back???? I need about 3-4 inches more leg room for leg comfort.
#757 of 761 2010 V6 oil change by mililani1 Nov 01, 2009 (1:14 pm)
I recently purchased a 2010 V6 Limited. Love the car but I'm a little concerned about changing the oil since my other cars had a simple spin on filter. I found the instructions and torque values for the 4 cylinder oil change. Does anyone know if the V6 would be the same torque values as the four banger? Thanks.

Replying to: mililani1 (Nov 01, 2009 1:14 pm) No, the torque values are different for the V6 as removal of the filter is actually a two step process and the caps are made of different materials. You should be able to get the torque values from your local Toyota Dealer. Replies to this message: mililani1 (Nov 02, 2009 3:53 pm)

Replying to: acemechanic (Nov 01, 2009 7:49 pm) Thanks for the info. I'll contact the service department at Servco Toyota and see if they will provide the information on the torque values.
