2011 Toyota RAV4 Maintenance

When it comes to your Toyota RAV4, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. With the right maintenance at the right time, your RAV4 has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. It can be overwhelming, but fortunately, there’s a resource that takes the guesswork out of routine RAV4 maintenance. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 2011 Toyota RAV4!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Toyota themselves. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like tire rotations, vital fluid checks/exchanges, filter changes, brake pad replacement, and oil changes. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your RAV4 perform better, keep you safer on the road, and help you avoid expensive repairs caused by 2011 Toyota RAV4 problems later.

Head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care in your 2011 Toyota RAV4 for factory-recommended routine maintenance and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. Every Courtesy Check will include a visual inspection of your RAV4. We’ll check your head and tail lights, fluid levels, filters, tires (and their alignment!), and windshield wiper blades. We’ll also perform a free battery check to determine your battery’s charge level.

Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 2011 Toyota RAV4. In general, car batteries only last three to five years. Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your RAV4 may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Toyota RAV4 battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. If you keep driving on a battery that can't hold a charge, you run the risk of being stranded when your battery finally gives out (and no one can predict where that might be!). Your Toyota RAV4 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.

Staying on schedule for battery replacements and motor oil changes can support your engine’s overall performance and keep your 2011 Toyota RAV4 running newer, longer. See Toyota's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 2011 RAV4 in the chart at the top of this page. Don’t forget, though, that weather conditions in your area or your personal driving habits can affect this interval. Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to know when to change your oil.
