Horseshoes. Hand grenades. And dip sticks.Close enough
I have the same 2.5 Toyota Rav4 - 2019 flavor. Top bubble on my dipstick is exactly 4.65 quarts - yes after its been run for a while - even though the spec is 4.8 quarts. Not sure why - factory defect dipstick, just not that precise, or?I usually round up to 5 like this, but I swear, our new Camry must not fully drain. I think its 4.5 quarts rated, but I put in 4, check a few days later, and now its correct. Haven’t done enough changes on it to be sure.
Everything else, just fine to round up.
Sounds about right—if I was smart, I’d take notes, but you correct. 4.5 quarts for full mark sounds right.I have the same 2.5 Toyota Rav4 - 2019 flavor.

The dealer has overfilled mine slightly - per the dipstick - several times when they do it for "free" with Toyotacare platinum, which is "port installed" for SE Toyota.

I think I did 5 the first time and it was quite over, so I didn’t do that the next time. Everything else has always been just fine.
Bit of a bummer, but I guess I get a “free” 4.5 qt for the 9th change, I have an open 0w16 on the shelf always now…
Use for the next oil change in that car. I dump in 4.5qt, have 0.5qt left in the 5qt jug. Next oil change, I dump in 0.5, then another 4, and now I have 1qt left in the jug. Lather rinse repeat. In your case, the leftover amount would be 0.35 each time, so a bit harder to work with.And I also have a quart bottle I pour the leftovers in. No idea what I will do with it?
Our 2020 Rav 4 toyota XLE we just bought holds 4.8 qts.
I'm wondering if it would cause any damage or blow any seals or gaskets by putting the last 2 tenths of a quart in it when changing.
4.8 vs 5 quarts.
If anyone thinks it might, I probably won't do it.
Thanks in advance.
No properly disposed of oil ever goes to a land fill.Nope. Do it, and sleep better knowing the 0.2 quarts are better in the engine than spilt at the landfil.
Properly disposed oil gets turned into Valvoline.No properly disposed of oil ever goes to a land fill.
To be fair, they can’t really quote half a quart when the bottles come in quart sizes.I used to get concerned about that...
then I noticed the Receipt for mom's oil change from the ford dealer...
car calls for 5.5qts. they billed for 6.
at the time I was driving a nearly identical car,( hers a Taurus, mine a Sable) from then on, instead of saving back the pint of oil to use in an eventual frankenbrew, i just dumped all 6 qts in.
never a problem.

You're the one that added "properly disposed". Plenty of "empty" (or almost empty) oil bottles or jugs get thrown in people's trash cans, then goes into landfills.No properly disposed of oil ever goes to a land fill.
Where did you get this idea?
I had a Honda with the same situation and filled if with four quarts. Didn't hurt a thing. I don't need a partial container of motor oil taking up space that would most likely be forgotten. Or fill your vehicle to whatever the manufacturer calls for and dump the rest in with the drain oil. RegardsOur 2020 Rav 4 toyota XLE we just bought holds 4.8 qts.
