Parts for your 2020 Toyota Rav4-Oil seals

2020 Toyota RAV4 oil seals — what they do and when to sort them

Oil seals are absolutely relevant on the 2020 Toyota RAV4. Toyota’s Service Information (TIS) repair manual for the 2020 RAV4 (A25A-FKS petrol and A25A-FXS hybrid) and the Toyota Electronic Parts Catalogue both show multiple radial lip oil seals throughout the engine, transaxle and driveline. They’re there to keep oil in, dust and water out, and to protect bearings and rotating assemblies over the long haul.

On this RAV4, oil seals are fitted anywhere a rotating shaft passes through a housing full of lubricant. Think of them as tight, flexible gaskets with a spring-loaded lip that rides the shaft. Their job is to maintain the oil film, control pressure and stop leaks as temperatures and revs swing about. They’re not a routine “every X kilometres” replacement item
