Thank you, thank you…you kept me from getting robbed by the dealer…. They quoted me 300+ to maintenance the hybrid battery! I’ll be doing my wife 2017 and then my 2019 “the 2019 is much easier” 1 screw and remove side panel clean filter or replace. I purchased OEM filters for both, each 14.00 / 16.00 dollars! Thanks again!

Push the center part of those clips inward to remove, you don't have to pry it out. Then to re-install you pop it up, push clip in and push center part down flush.

After my warranty expired , I stopped bringing my Toyota RAV4 Hybrid to the dealership. They notified me that my warranty expired and the oil change would cost me $275! Are you kidding me?? So these videos are of valid to me. Toyota dealerships are definitely out. There are plenty of mechanics now that service hybrid cars now. And good ones too , for a fraction of the price.

Great job! An excellent video. I have a 2016 RAV4 hybrid and I just replaced the front rotors and pads myself. The dealer told me even the best brakes form AutoZone will squeak 😂. I laughed because Toyotas brakes are cheap and will warp after 60k if they last that long (only hybrids). My entire car was shaking coming down from the Sierra Nevada mountains and the pads still have 1/3life left in them. The rotors are garbage. …I also do my own oil/filter changes and replace my own air/cabin filters. The one thing I don’t like messing with is the engine coolant and inverter coolant because it’s messy and takes patience to get all the air out. I just hit 100k miles and the car runs great! I also ended up buying a bunch of plastic clips as I needed a few during my front/rear dash cam install. I hardwired mine so it doesn’t kill the battery and allows for parking mode to work. I love Toyota but man they really like to price gouge when it comes to maintenance. The parts are typically cheap but labor is so expensive these days. Also, that checklist/multipoint inspection is crap. They don’t typically check everything unless it’s obvious or you tell them. I had a CV boot improperly installed or popped off and they failed to notice. They also failed to notice my starter battery which is at 12.2V and will likely need to be replaced soon (tested by a fancy battery computer).

You’re so right. At my 40k checklist I called the dealership to find out how much it would cost- warranty expired- they said $425! 😂 Then I looked at the list of things it included.. oil change, check this , check that… and get this…ADJUST FLOOR MATS!.. I’m not kidding!!!! Goodbye to dealerships unless there’s something major wrong.

Nice video for cleaning the high voltage battery filters. Good camera work and clear directions. I appreciate your suggestions. Towards the beginning of your video you mention changing the cabin filter at 10,000 miles. Toyota recommends changing it at 30,000 for a '17 RAV 4 Hybrid and simply inspecting it at 15,000 miles. My own experience with Toyota cabin filters suggests that I change them at 25,000. However, if I was talking about oil changes I would change with synthetic at 5,000 miles or 6 months, rather than the Toyota recommendation of 10,000, or a year. after watching a couple of Toyota KZitem video publishers discuss that issue.

You should mention to be "careful" around the battery" and you should have mentioned what year this Rav4 Hybrid is. I believe the 2019-2022s have 1 filter on the passenger side of the rear seat????? The "grill" is easily removed without removing the seat ( p.s. NEVER cover that grill with a blanket etc_ and also never leave bottles liquids or a bag of ice cubes on the back seat as liquid could reach the battery and cause issues). The 2019-2022s have an actual filter behind that "grill" that is chap or can be cleaned as well. On the $200 at Toyota cost part. Toyota like many other Dealerships has a book on how long each job should take. I used to take my Highlander to the dealership for oil changes as they charged me $80-$100 depending on the service ( sometimes they fake the brakes "apart" and clean and lube parts ). I could hardly do 6 liters /5.8 US quarts of 0W20 synthetic, the filter ":kit" myself for $80 plus they supposedly check fluids, lube hinges and inspect wipers, tires etc, they even SUPPOSEDLY top up the Windshield wiper fluid. Last Oil change the "looked at the brake pads did the other stuff and replaced the cabin air filter ( I could have done that myself as well). The charge?????? $250!!!!!!!! The invoice listed $ 155 Labour cost! B.S!!!!! I dropped the vehicle off at 10:15 for the 10:30 appointment. I went for a walk and walked by the dealership at 10:45 twenty minutes after the vehicle went into the shop and it was done already!!!!!!! $155 for 20 minutes???? Toyota is ripping people off! If the shop manual says the job takes 1.5 hours and they do it in 20 minutes you should only get charged for 1/3 of an hour! This especially because I used to pay between $80-$130 of the same service!

From someone who was a Toyota dealer mechanic, they charge you full labour hours but will finish the job in less time than that. Mechanics have a fund holding the extra charged and split them. In his dealership they could book 200 cars in a day and pump them through.

If maintenance light for the battery came on, look in your manual for how to reset maintenance indicators it’s very easily done from a couple of pushes of the button on your steering wheel to get to the reset section on your dashboard.

STOP TELLING LIES DO SO FALSE PICTURES THIS IS NOT THE NEW TOYOTA THE NEW CAR HAS A CARBON PAPER FIBRE FILTER NOT A MESH. THERE ARE PARTS INVOLVED SHOW THE CORRECT CAR Firstly you show a pic of the new toyota Rav4 and yours is the old car. Big mistake as this is miss leading owner . The current Rav4 hybrid has one battery filter in a carbon filter that need to be replace every two years or two services. You cannot clean with a vacuum cleaner there is a cost involved as you need a new filter element. If this is not done using toyota parts and recorded it invalidates your battery warrenty which ie 8 to 10 years. So do not be stupid. Shop round for the price. In May country price are set but toyota not the deal the dealer can choose to charge less but never more. Its called having consumer law.
