Answers to Your Toyota RAV4 Car Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota RAV4 battery stay charged? A battery is in its final hour when it will no longer hold a charge. The battery may be too old. Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery?  A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my RAV4’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your RAV4’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your RAV4, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

2007 Toyota RAV4 Oil Change Service

Toyota recommends having your 2007 Toyota RAV4’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your RAV4 may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota RAV4. Talk with a teammate and consult your owner's manual before picking a motor oil. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, you can choose from the following oils: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil.

Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your RAV4 today.

2007 Toyota RAV4 Oil Change Q&A

  • What does it mean if my Toyota RAV4 oil light comes on?  Your Toyota RAV4 oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Toyota RAV4 oil at home?  Changing engine oil at home isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. Having your oil changed professionally can not only reduce the risk of something going wrong during the service, but it’ll also help your car perform smoothly down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota exhaust smoke gray or blue?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

*Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate for full terms and conditions on warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2007 Toyota RAV4

  • When should Toyota RAV4 spark plugs be replaced? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Toyota RAV4 mean? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota RAV4 need to be cleaned? Factors like fuel type and driving conditions can affect how frequently you need to clean your RAV4 fuel injectors. Some manufacturers recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of routine maintenance, or as needed if your vehicle is showing signs of poor fuel system performance.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2007 Toyota RAV4

During the first few years you had your 2007 Toyota RAV4, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your RAV4 jolts, drifts to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2007 Toyota RAV4, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your RAV4 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

2007 RAV4 Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • What can cause my Toyota RAV4 to have a bouncy ride?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota RAV4 might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my RAV4 to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your RAV4 combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

2007 Toyota RAV4 A/C Service Near You

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2007 Toyota RAV4 A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2007 Toyota RAV4’s A/C system to evaluate what repairs are necessary (if any). This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2007 Toyota RAV4, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. During this process, a technician will remove the old refrigerant from the A/C system. Next, they will evacuate the system according to Toyota's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2007 Toyota RAV4 A/C Systems

  • What’s making my RAV4 A/C put out warm air?  An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your RAV4’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why won’t my RAV4’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your RAV4 is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

2007 Toyota RAV4 Transmission Service

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 2007 Toyota RAV4 transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

Our technicians know how to service your 2007 RAV4 up to Toyota-recommended standards. As soon as you suspect something’s wrong with your RAV4’s transmission, book an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help diagnose, treat, and prevent major transmission issues.

Questions About 2007 Toyota RAV4’s Transmission

  • How often does my RAV4 transmission fluid need to be checked?  Caring for your Toyota RAV4’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Toyota RAV4 transmission fluid leak?  Yes. Toyota RAV4 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Is it okay to drive a RAV4 with a transmission fluid leak?  You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your RAV4 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.

Get a 2007 Toyota RAV4 Vehicle Inspection

Every service performed at Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a multi-point Courtesy Check.
