I went into the dealership for the 40k mile service which involved some fluid changes, tire rotation and brake wear test. I walked out of there $1300 poorer, after they nickel and dimed me for a bunch of other things that came up during the inspection. I even turned down some of the “suggested services.” I won’t be going back there again. Anyone else get this treatment?
15k? That is before the second oil change. Surely you are mistaken.
Just looked up a 2020 AWD RAV4. For 15k they say “Inspect transfer oil” this is for normal maintenance, but a little lower in the 15k explanation they say, “if towing, car-top carrier, or heavy loading replace transfer oil and rear diff oil.”
Now at the 30k, they just explicitly say replace transfer case oil for all conditions.
Mind you this is RAV4 gasoline engine. The Hybrid has other interesting maintenance items, such as clean HV filter every 5000 miles
Oh dang You’re right. That just seams like a lot of new diff fluid.
