The 2001 Toyota RAV4Can use either 5W-30 or 10W-30 motor oil. The 5W-30 is the preferred oil according to the manual because of its benefits on fuel economy as well as giving Your vehicle some help in starting up in colder temperatures. If a cold climate isn't something You have to worry about You may be fine with the 10W-30. This car has A4.4 quart oil capacity with the filter included. The recommended oil change frequency is about 5,000 miles or every 6 months. If You've already got a lot of miles on Your RAV4, somewhere in the 75,000 to 80,000 mile range, You may want to use a high mileage oil. They're designed to remove some of the engine sludge that may have been built up to that point. -
