Would you like to know one of the simplest and least expensive ways to ensure your car lasts for many years to come? Schedule a Toyota oil change. The Centennial Toyota team is here for this essential maintenance and education that helps you get the most from every drive.
Why Change Your Oil?
Motor oil lubricates the engine. As it does, it also keeps it running cool, clean, and efficient.
There are many reasons why your oil may not be performing optimally. It may have degraded, evaporated, or leaked, causing too little of it in the system, or contaminants like water from condensation, grime, dirt, or leaking fluids from other parts of your car may compromise its role as a lubricant.
When Should You Change Your Oil?
So, you should change your oil regularly-but how regularly? The answer will depend on your vehicle and how you drive it. Standardized recommendations based on mileage or time may not always factor in these specifics. For example, driving fewer miles or only for short distances does not necessarily mean you don't need to get your oil changed-oil becomes less effective with age and may contain more water if the engine is not regularly heated up enough to expel excess condensation.
If you've purchased a newer Toyota model, it will alert you when it's time for service. It's also a good idea to take advantage of ToyotaCare while you still have it! Your owner's manual also has suggested service intervals to keep you on schedule.
What Are the Warning Signs That an Oil Change Is Overdue?
Because clean and optimally performing oil is so critical to your Toyota vehicle's health, many common problems may indicate an oil change is due. If you hear unusual sounds from your engine, such as knocking, see smoke emitting from your exhaust, notice sluggish acceleration, stalling, or leaking fluid, it's past time to have your oil checked.
