Getting an oil change from your Toyota dealer is the only way to keep your Toyota running at its best. Your engine needs clean oil to lubricate and protect the many moving parts against wear. When you change the oil regularly, your Toyota sedan, SUV, or truck will be more fuel-efficient and last longer.
Oil Change Tip for Your Toyota
When You Should Change Your Car’s Oil
If you want your Toyota to run well for thousands of miles, the best thing you can do is to change the oil and filter at Toyota’s recommended intervals for your specific model, which you’ll find in your owner’s manual. The latest Toyota vehicles have a system that monitors the oil level, temperature, and the miles you’ve driven.
When your car needs new oil, you’ll get a dashboard alert. When you visit us for an oil and filter change, our certified Toyota technicians use top-quality oil recommended by Toyota.
Why You Should Change the Oil Regularly
As you drive, dust and dirt from the air and heat and carbon from your engine break the oil down until it loses its protective qualities, causing a lot of friction and heat. If your engine doesn’t get enough clean oil, it can mess it up badly, and you’ll have to spend a pretty penny to fix it.
Changing the oil before it gets too dirty will keep the many moving engine parts cool, clean, and lubricated. The oil will reduce friction between the moving engine parts and remove heat from your engine.
How Your Driving Habits Influence Oil and Filter Changes
How and where you drive your Toyota influences how often it needs new oil. If you drive your car a lot in stop-and-go city traffic, on uneven and dusty roads, or haul or tow heavy loads, you will need to change the oil more often to protect your engine. Ask us to help you with the right oil and filter change schedule for your driving conditions.
