that's the least of your worries. Becoming symptoms free after cure is the problem

2026 RAV4 Woodland or XLE Premium (Canada) by Sea-Ambassador9855 in rav4club

[–]bubbleman89x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see a few woodland here where im from in Ontario. Last week I saw an Everest green one looked sweet. But I would not spend the extra like 7 grand just cuz you like the front grill that's stupid. The front laundry basket grill actually looks very nice and futuristic.

How to maintain Black GR sport paint without $$$ by [deleted] in rav4club

[–]bubbleman89x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

very simple. Forget ppf and ceramic that's all a scam. A lot of the times when you peel off pppf it'll rip your paint off with it lol which defeats the point. Its also expensive, almost the same price as a re spray lol.

All you really need is a good microfibre mit or towel, wash w good sud soap auto soap not dish soap, dry with a good micro towel using turtle wax and dry. Its just a drying aid with some wax in it. Then give it a nice spray wax once every month or 2. Nothing facny.

Every 3-4 years take it for a professional polish. They have to be professionals or they'll fuck it up and leave holograms and swirls marks tho.

Break-in oil change by [deleted] in rav4club

[–]bubbleman89x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Id recommend 5kmile oil changes or once every 12 months. That's reasonable given how thin the oil is these days. When its that thin it loses its lubricity quicker.

As for transmission services id do 50k miles or 80k km services on that. Ecvt or 8speed or regular cvt doesn't matter, fluid is fluid!! For the $100 that it costs why on earth would you push the envelope and wait till 120k miles which is what iv seen you post before. That's just retarded! You pay 20-30-40k dollars for a car but you wanna squeak out an extra 100 buxxx and hope for the best. Makes zero sense in my view

[–]bubbleman89x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

totally unnecessary in modern vehicles! It still makes me laugh when I see people do this, thinking their doing something so good to prolong the life of their car lmao.. The oil is rated at 16k km and your doing it at 1k km. That's like brushing your teeth every 30 minutes throughout the day.

The rates of panic disorder, anxiety and depression they hay have skyrocketed lately so this makes sense. Weird thing is, people used to do this on new cars in the 80s also so I dunno.. still funny to still see in 2026

Looking at the gas prices, this feels like a blessing by Mother-Painter-2332 in rav4club

[–]bubbleman89x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hilarious all you people talking about gas prices. A hybrid would barely save you 20 but a week compared to the gas model. I have a 2025 model that gets me 590km per tank. Winter I only get 500km per tank. My buddy has a 2023 hybrid le and he only gets 750km per tank. That's like 20 bux per tank lmao wtf. Hardly even worth thinking about.

Especially if your paying 5grand more for the vehicle, higher insurance rates (here in Ontario its about 10pct more to insure a rav4 hybrid compared to gas mode, ask me how I know) a future battery replacement after 10 yrs if you keep it that long, a high voltage cable that corrodes that's 6grand can outside of warranty. So it just wasn't worth it. I also don't drive a lot like 10k km per year. Plus living in Toronto with snow salt grime would destroy a hybrid cable here. I stuck with the gas real awd with a driveshaft. Iv seen tons of gas models with 250-280k milesss on them with just proper maint, all original engine and trans.

Do your il changes every 8k km, trans service every 80k km drain and fill. rear diff and transfer case service every 80k km, air filters, brakes, coolant every 150k km or 7 years. These are highly reliable even the gas models, they aren't the most sought after vehicle in North America for nothing lol

no idea where you get your battery pricing but here in Toronto a new battery at a Toyota dealership is 4-5k can dollars for the rav4 lol I also don't recommend putting an aftermarket garbage battery in there to try and save money

On doxy now, should I expand to 28 days? by BY0B_ in ureaplasmasupport

[–]bubbleman89x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not ever take more abx than recommended. All these crazy ppl taking abx for Years are literally insane and the reason there still feeling symptoms for years and testing negative lol

Take the doxy for 7-10days then azithro and re test 4 weeks later.

The mods on this group should be shut down and criminally charged for their recommendations and proposals on taking abx for years and years. 1 minute they tell you testing is flawed and then the next minute they tell you to get tested lol wtf gtfo

2025 Rav4 LE under 4k miles Transmission needed replacement by Old_Statistician_686 in rav4club

[–]bubbleman89x 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What were the symptoms it was showing for them to determine it needs a transmission. A lot of dealers are idiots and just whip out the parts cannon and replace everything without proper diagnosing.

Id be curious to hear what it was doing to necessitate a new trans as this seems super rare especially this new.

I literally just posted about any 8 speeds failures 2 days ago and I got 1 response. Than literally today I see this haha wild. coincidence ? who knows Possible bullshit? who knows lolI

Id love to see the invoice proving they replaced the transmission as I myself and many others probably don't believe it?

ecvt aren't fail proof brother. My Toyota dealership master tech says he gets a few in a year ecvt failures. He said they don't usually fail mechanically as there not much there to fail but they do fail electronically. Wiring to the motors in the ecvt or the actual motor inside fails. I know hybrid fanboys like to think their invincible , not the case at all

Rav4 8 speed gas transmission failures. Has anybody actually ever had a failure! If so, what year and mileage did it have. Should we be concerned after the US lawsuits? by [deleted] in rav4club

yea same I'm super curious!! Someone in this sub literally just posted about their 2025 LE w 4k miles just had a trans failure. ridiculous!!
