I changed my oil and filter Feb 10/26 at 6636 km. I check my oil level every few weeks and noticed the oil level was up a bit. As weeks went by and kept checking level it kept creeping up on dip stick, I felt the oil with my fingers and got a faint smell of fuel.
I changed the oil and filter again May 8/26 at 8003 km and took an oil sample mid stream. I took sample for oil analysis and it came back showing oil in fuel and a decrease in viscosity.
I dropped off vehicle at my Toyota dealership and they did a bunch of checks, injectors, compression, fuel rail ,cylinders etc. and could not find anything , but came back to say everything was normal, it was like they didn't even believe in the analysis I gave them. There is no TSB's or recalls of any kind for 2025 Rav4 Hybrid.
I find Toyota is always in denial when it comes to problems with their vehicles, they should be more proactive when a customer brings them an issue that could get a lot worse as time goes on.
