    Hi, I have a RAV4 manufactured in 1995 in Japan with a 3S-FE engine. The model number is E-SXA11G-AWMGK. I'm about to replace gearbox oil, as it's little bit harder to shift gears. It would be great if someone can let me know what's the recommended gear oil for the gear box and rear...

    Last week the traction control light started coming on randomly, and the brakes were being applied while TCS light was lit (dry pavement, heat wave, gridlock traffic). Today I had it towed by a USAA contractor. The tow truck operator lifted the front end off the ground, put dollies under the...

    Hello Rav4 Community! I’ve been trying to to repair the clutch on my 1998 RAV4 and at this point I’m pretty much desperate for any help I can get.

    Hi, I am looking for guidance on replacing the rear differential and transfer case oil in the 4th gen gas RAV4.

    I installed a new OEM front drivers side CV axle nearly a week ago now on my ‘12 V6. It took some serious work to slide in - used hammers, grease etc. - and I thought I heard it click when I finally shoved it in by hand. However, the past week or so I’ve noticed a couple small puddles in the...

    I have an almost 10 year old (90,000 miles) 2010 Limited RAV4 with 4x4. I've never really used the 4x4 mode before. My pickup truck friends told me I should be running it in 4x4 at least once a month (never heard of this but makes sense). Should I even bother at this point after 10 years...
