Falken Tires

I replaced the OEM Dunlops on my '21 RAV gas model XLE a few weeks ago with Falken WildPeak A/T Trails in 245/65-17. I have about 900 miles on them now. I have lost consistently only 2 MPG after several cycles of fill ups.

Pros: consistent MPG loss
Cons: 2 MPG loss
Vehicle: Toyota
Mileage: 1448 km

OEM Toyota Engine oil

For newer vehicles I am in the camp of: if you want the car to last a long time use the 5K change interval with the exception being in the first 10 K. For the first 10K miles I would do 3 changes (not just 2) to be sure any debris/material from the break in process is cleaned/ cleared out quickly before it can potentially metastasize into a bigger issue (much later on);

Pros: long engine life
Cons: debris from break in

OEM Toyota Engine oil

Just do it every 5,000 miles. It’s the standard for most vehicles. Unless it burns oil often, then maybe 3000miles. I have a 2019 camry se and I’ve done it every 5k miles. It’s currently at 96k miles, oil still looks golden and brand new before I change the oil after every 5k miles.

Pros: oil looks new at 96k
Cons: burns oil often
Mileage: 96000 km

OEM Toyota Engine oil

The cars are very capable of doing 10k mile intervals between oil changes AS LONG AS YOU USE THE PROPER FULL SYNTHETIC! You won't get any problems doing it that way, however by 5k the oil will have a little bit of dirt in it so some people will do it at 5k just for peace of mind and to make 100% sure that the engine stays clean.

Pros: capable of 10k intervals
Cons: oil has dirt at 5k
