A 1/2 quart of 5W30 Redline may work for you. Although a leaking valve seal isn't your problem yet Redline cleared up an occasional blue puff of smoke first start of the day for me, similar level of Boron as the Havoline plus some Moly.

From some older threads here factory fill is likely QS green bottle and this vid shows that Hyundia engineers were comfortable with 50 micron oil filters in 2010; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEfmPFRaoNo I like your first change choices of oil and filter.

What is the factory fill oil ? What micron size does the factory filter clean to ?

Bought a used 4x4 Rav for winter but didn't know when coolant was last changed so went to the local Auto Value store and got a single antifreeze pH test strip for $3. Car antifreeze showed to be at 7.5 pH according to the test. New Toyota Long Life Antifeeze, the red stuff is 7.6 pH...

Had chance to talk to the local Toyota dealership shop foreman who says that they don't use the 'Toyota Engine Oil System Cleaner' in the shop, what they do use is BG Quick Clean for Engines because it works, sort of implying the other doesn't.

From reading Toyota started using some grade of Viton valve guide and other seals in mid 2000s in their engines, possibly to allow for aggressive engine cleaners. Dealership head tech should have an answer as to how far back this product is compatible in a Toyota, local dealership front end...

Bought a 2003 Rav4 manual 4WD with 100K miles / 170K kilometers from an accountant friend as an inexpensive winter ride a couple of months ago and am slowly changing all fluids and doing other service to get it winterized for our occasional -40 temperatures. Didn't like the fuel economy or...
