2015 Toyota RAV4 Tire Information

Other than getting the proper tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota RAV4 tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota RAV4 tires online.

  • Why are there numbers on the side of my Toyota RAV4 tires? Your tire sidewall gives you information about load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to one of our tire technicians to learn how to read the numbers on your tire!
  • How do I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota RAV4 tires. Grab a penny.

If you’re experiencing odd brake behavior, schedule a free brake inspection at a nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • What is the average lifespan of RAV4 brake pads? Brake pads typically last about 30,000 to 40,000 miles. However, driving conditions can affect this range. Sticking to highway driving and braking smoothly can help extend the life of your brake pads, while towing heavy loads or frequently riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Your RAV4 brake system is a closed hydraulic system, so a brake fluid leak likely means you have an issue in your brake system. Over time, brake components can wear out or get damaged, causing a brake fluid leak.

  • Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my RAV4? A multitude of problems can activate your RAV4’s malfunction indicator light (better known as the check engine light), including issues with the engine, transmission, sensors, electrical system, or connectors.
  • How concerning is a drivetrain malfunction in my RAV4? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your RAV4. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your RAV4.

Wheel Alignment for 2015 Toyota RAV4

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Toyota RAV4’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Toyota. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When you bring in your 2015 Toyota RAV4, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Toyota.

Questions About Toyota RAV4 Alignment

  • How can I avoid knocking my Toyota RAV4 out of alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • How often does your RAV4 need a wheel alignment? It’s usually suggested you check your alignment about every 6,000 miles or 6 months (whichever occurs first). Still, you should reference your RAV4 owner’s manual for Toyota's recommended interval.
  • Does getting new RAV4 tires mean you need an alignment?  It’s not mandatory to get an alignment after installing new tires on your RAV4, but it can be a smart decision! Proper alignment from the jump can help improve handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear.

2015 Toyota RAV4 Engine Q&A

  • Why does my RAV4’s check engine light come on when I start it? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your RAV4 testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Toyota RAV4 making engine noise?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Toyota RAV4 engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage a Toyota engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold.

Get Your Toyota RAV4 Tire Repaired

Toyota RAV4 Tire Repair Questions

  • What happens if I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your RAV4 engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
  • Is temporary sealant bad for my Toyota's tires? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.
  • What is causing the tires on my RAV4 to keep losing air? Your RAV4 tires might keep losing air due to a leaking valve stem, puncture or hole in the tire tread or sidewall, or damaged wheel.

2015 Toyota RAV4 Maintenance Questions

  • What should I do after hitting a pothole in my Toyota RAV4?  You know your Toyota RAV4 better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When does my Toyota RAV4 need high mileage oil?  Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Toyota RAV4 engines.
  • Can Toyota dashboard warning lights wait?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Toyota RAV4, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Top Toyota RAV4Car Battery Questions

Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my RAV4’s battery post?  A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your RAV4 car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.

2015 Toyota RAV4 Oil Change Service

Your 2015 RAV4’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. Your RAV4 may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, go off-roading a lot, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota RAV4. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota RAV4 oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. In an oil change service, a technician will change your RAV4's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your RAV4's engine.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2015 Toyota RAV4

  • What does it mean if my Toyota RAV4 oil light comes on?  Your Toyota RAV4 oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
  • Can I change my Toyota oil on my own?  First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota exhaust smoke gray or blue?  There could be an oil leak and your engine is burning oil. Time to have a qualified technician check things out. The leak could be caused by several issues like leaking valve seals, damaged piston rings, or worn cylinder walls.

Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 2015 Toyota RAV4

Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your RAV4’s power on the road. The Firestone Complete Auto Care location in your community offers several Toyota RAV4 engine tune-up services.

Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your RAV4. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system. During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your RAV4’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your RAV4 can determine what kind of service it needs. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2015 Toyota RAV4

  • When should Toyota RAV4 spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What does a puddle underneath my Toyota RAV4 mean? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota RAV4. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How often do Toyota RAV4 fuel injectors 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.

2015 RAV4 Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first bought your 2015 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, sways to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2015 Toyota RAV4 in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your RAV4 suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost.

Questions About 2015 Toyota RAV4 Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Toyota RAV4 bouncing so much?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your RAV4 goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my RAV4 tilt forward when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your RAV4's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

A/C Service for Your 2015 Toyota RAV4

Our technicians will work to solve your 2015 Toyota RAV4 A/C problems to the best of their ability. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2015 Toyota RAV4 A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

Let's say we repair your 2015 Toyota RAV4 A/C system. We will also perform an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Toyota’s specifications to evacuate the system. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

2015 Toyota RAV4 A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my RAV4 A/C? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your RAV4’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • What is causing my RAV4’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  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.

2015 Toyota RAV4 Transmission Service

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 2015 Toyota RAV4 transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Toyota RAV4 transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your RAV4 isn’t working at all. Our technicians are trained to service 2015  Toyota RAV4 transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations. Schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of transmission problems to help keep your Toyota running for miles and miles.

2015 Toyota RAV4 Transmission Q&A

  • When should I have my RAV4's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Maintaining your Toyota RAV4 transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can my Toyota RAV4 leak transmission fluid?  Yes. Toyota RAV4 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.
  • 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 2015 Toyota RAV4 Vehicle Inspection

When you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care for any service, we’ll automatically do a multi-point Courtesy Check.

We perform a Courtesy Check any time you bring your car to a local Firestone Complete Auto Care for service, but we can also dig deeper and perform a Complete Vehicle Inspection on your 2015 Toyota RAV4 if you prefer.

The goal of this type of inspection is to unearth significant issues that might require preventative maintenance.

Depending on where you live, your local Firestone Complete Auto Care may be able to perform state-mandated inspections or safety tests on your vehicle. These inspections are governed by state automotive laws and may vary in different locations.

FAQs for 2015 Toyota RAV4 Vehicle Inspections

  • How do I know if my Toyota RAV4 needs a check-up? You drive your car, day in and day out, so you know it best. If you notice unusual engine noises or you can’t shake the feeling that something is 'off,' start with a Courtesy Check to stay ahead of potential issues.

  • When should I get a complete vehicle inspection for my Toyota RAV4?  The best time to have a complete vehicle inspection done on your Toyota RAV4 is when you notice something is off but you can’t locate the issue yourself. Schedule an inspection if you experience any unusual symptoms, such as unfamiliar dashboard indicators, strange engine noises, or steering changes.
