thank you
I do not see any leaks...yet.
When i first got my Rav4, i smelled something for several weeks assumed it was something in engine area burning off. Not there anymore, but don't remember it as an anti-freeze smell. Check dealer service. May have a service bulletin?
Oil & Filter Change
p.s.--to JimD4--I found "the other site" which did contain some helpful information. Finding information on the RAV4 in this WORLD can be COM-plicated. (Let's see if Mr. Edmunds catches that subliminal message!!)

I can't believe how tortured that sentence was!
tidester, host
Have fun!
By the way, one of the reasons I judge that the RAV4 mania is slowing some is that even on this site the number of posts seems much lower than say back in March and not many hysterical "paid MSRP" inputs etc.

The SST is $52, made by SPX for Toyota, it's just a 65mm end cap but maybe built better.

Toyota Tools
(Now I just got to figure out how to re-set the check engine oil light).
My guys checked it and couldn't find anything wrong. It happens every onece in a while. I told them I have seen this problem on net.
It seems that the smell I continue to smell in my vehicle resembles the smell of the soap used at the automatic car wash.
Just wondering if the undercarriage spray gets the soap into the air circulation system.
I am going to get my 5k service at a different (more local) Toyota dealer to see if I get better service there.
I hope there is no issue with taking it to a different dealer than the one I bought it from for in-warranty service.

All of this is just a guess.

Toyota Maintenance Schedules
I don't own one but it looks like one of the lowest cost maintenace schedule cars I have ever seen. I think an oil change is about $30. Is that the end of the world?
If your not lazy you can rotate the tires your self and save $24 bucks..............wow

Add this to the serious hesiataion flaw i've noted with my 2006 4 cyl. Rav4, a couple minor (but anoying)interior rattle sounds, and reading other problems folks having, this being my first Toyota vehicle, i'm wondering "WHAT'S UP TOYOTA"? Thinking now i should have waited for the 07 CRV. Or even the 07 Santa Fe, since Hyundai now up there on the quality list.
Everything comes at a price, I guess.

Just kidding but maybe Toyota goes a little too far on the Mother knows best stuff.
As an aside, I'm rather amazed at how quickly the car cools down inside, despite the heat. They should've routed a duct to the rear area (even if just like Chrysler, i.e. an unpowered vent with a mechanical louver). While it is cool up front it tend to get toasty for the people right behind me.
