every 30,000 km change all other fluid - transmission, diff-oil
But my owners manual says 80,000 kms for transmission oil.

In some new vehicle news, I heard the new RAV4 should be advertised soon and the all new Ford Escape aka Kuga will eventually make it to TT and from what I saw online, it appears Ford is going to take the market by storm.

I was wondering about total cost of ownership of some vehicles as some might think that are saving by purchasing a relatively cheaper vehicle up front, but when parts need replacing (out of warranty) you can end up with very similar costs overall.
Colleague had a Hyundai that required a harmonic damper (crank pulley), wheel hub assembly (abs speed sensor) and other miscellaneous parts which are pretty pricey and not something I think requires changing often but... It needed changing.
My Civic (ek) was purchased at 169000kms and required a whole array of parts... But most were service items.
(Non service items were; idle air control valve, door lock actuator)
Hilux from New and now at 89000kms, only normal service (oil and filters).
Again think you for your responses
This could be a real issue people don't think about.
My current vehicle is a Hyundai Tucson and in 3.6 years I have had to -
1. Repair Thermostop for A/C - warranty
2. Change door actuator - warranty
3. Change A/C Evaporator - not warranty
4. There is a lingering issue with the steering that Massy can't seem to diagnose and I assume I will have to pay to get it checked on the outside
5. Changed battery twice - once on warranty and once after it ended
For a vehicle under 50k Kms and less than 4 years old I shudder to think what happens in a few more years. My brother bought a Qashqai same time I bought my Tucson and he had to change nothing or repair anything other than routine maintenance. Despite having a 2.0l engine as well the Qashqai servicing in Massy was a few hundred less than the Tucson right next door.

What’s the steering issue you are having?

When turning the steering wheel either left or right I hear a slight noise and feel a very very light feedback feeling as if there was resistance on the steering. It is a constant on turning the steering wheel.
Massy say nothing wrong but on turning the steering one should not hear a noise.

They couldn’t care less about turbo engines or torque converter automatic transmissions etc. as long as it has the Toyota badge, it’s like a security blanket for reliability and resale value.
Fortunately, the 2019 Rav4 gave us a bump in HP and Torque for the 2.0 engine class. Previously, the 3ZR-FE had peak outputs of 143hp @ 6200rpm and 187Nm @ 3600rpm of torque routed to a CVT transmission. The new M20A-FKS motor has 170hp @ 6600rpm and 203Nm @ 4400-4900rpm of torque also mounted to a CVT. It means the new engine is a rev happier unit and I observed it has functional dual exhaust outlets at the back which means, some of that extra output is due to better engine breathing.
The A25A-FKS “Dynamic Force” 2.5L version may never come to T&T because of the ridiculous taxes but I understand it can be special ordered. So for those with deep pockets, they can get 204hp @ 6600rpm and 243Nm @ 4000-5000rpm of torque routed through an 8-speed torque converter auto. This 2.5 will have an AWD option.
Previously, TTTL did import a few 2.5s (2AR-FE) which boasted 177hp and 233Nm of torque routed through a 6-speed torque converter auto.
As you all can see, Toyota was a bit generous in giving us extra power with the new 2.0 and 2.5 engines and they did not require a turbo to do so!
Here is a short snapshot of the competitors HP ratings:
CRV 1.5t 188hp
Tucson 1.6t 175hp
Equinox 1.5t 170hp
CX5 2.0 154 to 162hp
Sportage 2.0 155hp
Forester 2.0 154hp
Eclipse Cross 1.5t 148hp
Well done Toyota!
