I'll hold on to it then and use it for one of my 5000k changes in between my Toyota provided 10,000k changes.

I have a 2026 RAV4 phev that specifies 0w16 API SP oil. I have a left over 5qt bottle of mobil one extended performance high mileage 0w20 that's also rated API SP. Clearly it will work in my phev but I am wondering if I should avoid using this high mileage rated oil in my new engine until it's...

Has anyone tested one on a RAV4 PHEV?

Yes, you are correct. Someday I'll upgrade to the heavier 0w20. 😆

My new 2026 rav4 phev calls for 0w20. I'll probably stick with that for a long time.

If it's the turbo engine I'd say change the oil often. No more than 5k max.

I mean, who carries around enough cash to fill up your gas tank with prices these days?

When I'm on the road traveling cross country I like to stop at the big chains, I'm always on the lookout for a Sheetz.

We have two (empty) plots in NJ where my in-laws thought they might rest. That didn't turn out to be the case. Selling them is not easy.

amateurbob, what are you thinking at this point?

It is the 6 speed that is more durable.

I never really considered my 2015 Sienna AWD to be my forever car. Although it does all that I need, passenger seats for kids and grandkids, cargo mode (helping my daughter move next week so will remove all rear seating), and my favorite - camping mode. Also have a camping set-up I built that...

2015 Toyota Sienna AWD 121k miles Replaced all pads and rotors using OEM parts, not the Toyota budget pads. Last pad install was at 62k.

Filled up my Sienna yesterday. $3.19/gal minus the $0.60/gal Harris Teeter fuel points, took 16 gallons. My Prius V gets 43 mpg average and I have been using shell premium in that one lately at full price pre-war. Next fill up I may go back to Harris Teeter regular for it.

Would you sell your stuff at yesterday's lower price or at today's higher price? Conversely, if prices are falling you'll never sell your product at the older higher price. You've got to lower it.
