This Toyota RAV4 2.2 engine oil type is 0W-30, 5W-30 and oil capacity is 6.5 litres.
Toyota RAV 4 2.2 D-4D has AWD (all wheel drive) (power is automatically distributed between the wheel axles) and automatic gearbox with 6 gears. It has proactive automatic four-wheel drive with Auto, Lock and Sport modes. In Auto mode, the car has front-wheel drive under normal conditions. If wheel slip is detected, torque is transferred to the rear wheels via an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. In Sport mode, torque is transferred almost instantaneously between the front and rear wheels to improve cornering performance, with up to 50 percent of engine power going to the rear wheels. Lock mode can be activated at speeds below 40 km/h and provides constant four-wheel drive.
Toyota RAV 4 2.2 D-4D accelerates to speed 100 kilometres per hour in 10 seconds. The maximum speed of this car is 185 km/h.
In combined cycle (city and motorway), the Toyota RAV 4 2.2 D-4D fuel consumption is 6.6 litres per 100km (15.2 km/l), city fuel economy - 8.1 l/100km, fuel consumption on highway - 5.8 l/100km. Fuel tank capacity is 60 litres or 15.85 gallons, which gives a mileage up to 900 kilometers without refueling in urban cycle and even up to 1020 kilometers on highway.
According to user reviews, this Toyota real everyday fuel consumption is 8.8 litres per 100 km, which is 33% more than the manufacturer's stated. More - Real Toyota RAV4 fuel consumption.

Toyota RAV 4 2.2 D-4D engine 2AD-FHV
Engine reliability and common problems:
The Toyota 2AD-FHV (2.2 D-CAT) is a powerful diesel engine, but it is also known for a number of serious reliability concerns. While it delivers strong performance, ownership costs can rise significantly once the mileage reaches around 150,000–200,000 km.The most notorious weakness is failure of the cylinder head gasket. Because of a design flaw, the gasket may burn through, allowing coolant to enter the cylinders while combustion gases escape into the cooling system. In many cases the issue progresses further, causing erosion of the aluminum cylinder block surface. When this happens, proper repair becomes extremely difficult and sometimes the only practical solution is replacing the block or the entire engine.
Another widely reported issue is increased oil consumption. This can appear relatively early in the engine’s life and is usually linked to carbon buildup around the piston rings, preventing them from sealing properly. In early production engines, piston replacements carried out under warranty did not always fully eliminate the problem.
The fuel system can also become problematic with age. The piezo injectors tend to have a limited service life and are sensitive to fuel quality. The sealing washers beneath the injectors should typically be replaced every 60,000–80,000 km, otherwise they may burn out and lead to additional damage. The EGR system and diesel particulate filter also tend to clog quickly, especially in vehicles used mainly for city driving, often requiring regular cleaning or replacement. Carbon buildup can also affect the turbocharger’s variable geometry mechanism.
Other issues include coolant leaks around the water pump and oil leaks near the timing chain cover. This engine is particularly sensitive to both fuel and oil quality. When buying a used vehicle equipped with the 2AD-FHV—such as an Avensis, RAV4, or Verso—it is essential to carefully check the condition of the cylinder block and make sure there are no signs of erosion or abnormal pressure in the cooling system.
Overall, this engine can last around 220,000 to 370,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.

| Number of cylinders | 4 |
| Bore (cylinder diameter) | 86 mm |

| Compression ratio | 15.7 : 1 |
| Camshaft drive | Timing chain Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more. More service info |
| Timing chain change interval | 240,000 km (recommended) Sometimes manufacturers do not specify timing chain replacement intervals and design chains for engine life. However, once the recommended change interval has been reached, it is recommended to periodically check the condition of the chain and to change the chain if excessive stretching is detected or if unusual noises from the engine or other symptoms occur. |
| Fuel system | Common Rail Common rail fuel injection provides more engine power, is quieter, more environmentally friendly and offers better fuel economy, but is more expensive to maintain and repair. |
