The 2008 Toyota RAV4Comes in two different engine variants across its SRX trim levels -- You may either have the 2.4L 4Cylinder or the 3.5L V6. The smaller engine will use 4.5 quarts of SAE 0W-20 synthetic motor oil, though SAE 5W-20 can be substituted in the short term. The larger engine useS6.4 quarts of SAE 5W-30 full synthetic oil, though SAE 5W-40 conventional may be swapped out for short periods. The use of substitutions is not recommended because of their inferior viscosity. However, it's better to run on poor viscosity oil than it is to run on no oil, so take this with caution. Using more viscous oil for a long period can reduce efficiency and increase friction, leading to premature engine wear.
