I have a 2015 Rav4 AWD with only 1,200 miles. I'm going to be heading south for 6 months. My first maintenance is not due until 5,000 miles or 6 months. The Rav won't have 5,000 miles on it, and I won't be able to take it to the dealer since I won't be home at the sixth month time. The First maintenance does not include an oil change with filter for normal driving conditions which I do.
My question: Would you change the oil and filter yourself before leaving the Rav4 in storage with only 1.200 miles on it, or just wait till you return and drive the vehicle to the 10,000 mile mark, then take it to the dealership for its first oil change. Thanks for your comments. :thumbs_up:
