About 2016 Toyota RAV4 Tires
Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota RAV4 tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. 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 winter and one for summer. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, snow, or sun!
Next, consider your driving style. 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. Browse Toyota RAV4 tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

-

Top Toyota RAV4Car 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? 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.
-
Why is there white, crusty buildup 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.
2016 Toyota RAV4 Oil Changes
Toyota recommends having your 2016 Toyota RAV4’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your RAV4 may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 2016 Toyota RAV4 motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. 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. In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your RAV4’s oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Let the experts take care of your RAV4’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.
2016 Toyota RAV4 Oil Change Q&A
-
Why is my Toyota RAV4 oil light illuminated? The oil change light in your Toyota RAV4 could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
-
How hard is it to change Toyota RAV4 oil at home? 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? 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.
Engine Tune-Up Service for Your 2016 Toyota RAV4
Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your RAV4’s power on the road. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2016 Toyota RAV4. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your RAV4. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Yet another service is a fuel system cleaning process, which involves removing varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits that have built up inside the fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate in your RAV4. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your RAV4: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.
*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.
2016 Toyota RAV4 Engine Tune-Up Q&A
-
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 do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota RAV4? Puddles could indicate an oil leak, coolant leak, or brake fluid leak– all of which can critically hurt your engine. Have your engine inspected as soon as you spot a pool of liquid in your usual parking spot.
-
How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota RAV4 need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

2016 RAV4 Steering & Suspension Q&A

Why is my Toyota RAV4 bouncing excessively? 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.
-
Why does my RAV4 front end dip forward when I brake? 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.
