  1. The manual actually gives two intervals. Read it carefully. I doubt you did any damage. In fact I don’t like early first oil changes. The engine needs the gritty oil to break in.

  2. It doesn’t. It uses the same intervals as the other engines. He is recommending 3-4K out of an abundance of caution and to maximize the life of the engine under hard use.

  4. The problem is someone will hit you and total out the car long before the extra maintenance will make any difference.

  5. I’d use 0w20 or 5w30 synthetic.

  6. You are supposed to put in Dextron III transmission fluid not power steering fluid. Why would you change it anyway. It’s a lifetime fluid.

  7. Just run it till you get a misfire or 150k miles whichever comes first.

  8. If you are an easy going driver the 3k synthetic oil changes are a total waist of money. Everytime you change the oil the engine gets a dry start which puts more wear on the engine. Follow the manual.

  9. They will probably keep the gas only RAV4 since it’s such a big seller. The Camry is a specialty car since it’s a sedan so they went with one power train. The Camry will probably fade away and get discontinued in a couple years.
