Mileage Milestone Day!!! (Skip September) Another Month Anorher 10K Miles Driven. This Now Put My 2020 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid XSE @ 440,000 Miles.

Maintenance Completed: 44th Oil Change & Tire Rotation $79.99 3rd Front Brakes Replacement Service (Rotors, Pads, Shims) $569.99

Insurance Related Repairs Causing Mechanical Issues:

  1. AC Condenser Line Was Installed Incorrectly and it Exploded 5 minutes from my house (Replaced Free). Plastic fittings went flying everywhere.

  2. What I thought was an OEM Radiator Fan turned out to be an aftermarket one and worked twice as hard to cool the engine and it failed @339K causing a coolant house to leak and piss coolant. (Replaced Free with proper fan and sealed up coolant leak)

    Any changes in mpg over the all those miles driven? At 38+ mpg that’s still pretty good compared to whats available.

        Lol ok. Let’s compare a rwd sedan to an awd suv. Yep an awd suv that gets 13mpg better when driven normally and probably 18mpg better when “babied” is a let down.

          Rwd V8 sedan. Awd is for folks that can’t drive. That is a let down. People don’t even buy rwd V8 anymore because they’re sucking on the ‘green energy’ powered by slave labor.

    Hey bud, been going through your posts about the RAV4 hybrid unreal job man.

    I have a question for you manage your mind If you don’t mind*

    I just bought a 2024 RAV4 hybrid and I’m told by the dealer I can’t get it oil sprayed or it will ruin my warranty.

    Did you do anything for rust protection?

    How is the rust on your vehicles?

    I live in Ontario and the winters are brutal
