New RAV4 - When to do a UOA?

[Shannow]

I did the two UOAs on my Nissan the last two OCIs before warranty was up...none before, none since.

M1 0w-20 EP is only a few bucks more total so for peace of mind going to 10k without UOA's just do it..

I wouldn't do a UOA for a while, you'll end up with high moly count because of the new engine.

Toyota recommends 10,000 change intervals anyway, with their synthetic. Is that good? I have no idea, but it's recommended.

A new RAV4 and a UOA is required ?



My intent was to confirm whether M1 0w20 AFE could handle 10k OCI in this engine.

10K OCIs with M1 0-20 is a snap for most engines.

Save the $30 bucks and buy a second jug of oil and a cold one with the the savings.
I would do 7500 on all of them and forget the whole UOA thing. The reason being that while it might be fine at 10K on this OCI the next one might be operated under different operating conditions.
