Why Toyota Oil Changes Are Important

At our Toyota of Clermont Service Center, oil hangs are a huge auto service that we offer (who doesn’t need one?). At our dealership, there’s a huge emphasis on staying on schedule with your auto service. This service is essential for your ride to function properly and operate at maximum performance. If you don’t have routine Toyota oil changes, then this can cause a lot of damage to your ride. Thus, this leads to even more costly auto services that will hurt your wallet in a big way.

The Basics of an Oil Change - What to Know

You might not know that there are different types of motor oil available for your ride. Different cars have different performance needs. In turn, this means different types of motor oil, and our expert service techs are here at Toyota of Clermont to direct you to the right one!

Here are some things to consider

• There are four types of motor oil to choose from when you arrive at our dealership.
• Next, it’s always best to get your routine oil changes at a Toyota dealership. Our de always has the best coupons to choose from, too!
• Also, you shouldn’t top off your oil. Having low oil means that you need a full oil change or you have a leak. Plus, it’s worth having a Clermont Toyota auto service tech check out what’s under the hood. This will help prevent future repairs in the future!
• Also, hybrid cars still need regular Toyota oil changes but electric cars don’t. Electric cars don’t need an oil change at all! If you have more questions about electric car maintenance, we can help you out with this, too.

What Oil Change Schedule Should You Be On?

Now that you know different cars need different types of motor oil, it’s time to see which one is for you! It’s always best to check your owner’s manual, but we’re here to make things easier for your car care. Check out these model-specific oil change guides from our expert auto service techs and schedule your next service with us! Additionally, we know there’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to your car care, but we can put together a personalized plan that meets everything you need!

How Often Should You Check Your Oil?

At Toyota of Clermont, we recommend that you change your car’s oil regularly to get the most bang for your buck. Keep in mind that you’ll need to change your oil filter, too! However, if you drive a lot or drive in extreme climates, it’s best to check your oil regularly. When it’s time for your Toyota oil changes, you should always bring your ride to our dealership. You’ll be in the best hands possible! The best thing you can do is check your oil bi-weekly to ensure there are no leaks.

Need help checking your oil? Here’s how you can do that!

• First, let your car run for a couple of minutes. You’ll need to park your car on an even surface and turn off your engine before you pop the hood.
• Next, find the oil dipstick and pull it out to check what the color looks like.
• Then, take note of the oil level and the color of your motor oil.
• If you’re low on your oil level, you’ll need to stop by Toyota of Clermont to have our techs get your ride back in tip-top shape!
• Finally, the oil color on your dipstick should be a brownish-yellow color. If it looks dark or if there’s a lot of grime on it, you’re due for a change and an oil filter replacement.

Troubleshooting Tips 101

When you check your oil or just driving in general, it’s helpful to know how to troubleshoot any oil issues that might come up. Having clean oil is critical to your Clermont Toyota’s performance. However, here are some things to keep in mind for all of your oil changes.

• If the oil levels are lower than they should be, your car could be using too much oil or have an oil leak. It’s best to have our Clermont Toyota auto-serve techs check it out!
• However, if your car oil is too dark, then running on dirty oil could cause serious damage down the line.

Plus, there are other signs that you need an oil change besides the color on your dipstick. These signs include:

• Your oil light pops up on your dashboard.
• Your engine is running louder than normal.

If you’re unsure of any of these things, stop by Toyota of Clermont so we can take a look under your hood!

What Happens if You Avoid a Toyota Oil Change?

In addition, if you don’t get an oil change when necessary it can cause big and costly problems in your ride. The car oil is a vital part of your car’s performance because it’s a lubricant in the car’s system. Metal-on-metal contact causes friction, which can lead to too much heat. This makes the two surfaces possibly weld together and can cause your engine to seize. Here are some other issues that you might run into if you skip this service:

• Having dirty oil will eventually clog your oil filter, so it’ll have to bypass the filter and go through the relief valve.
• Next, dirty oil is thicker and has abrasive qualities, so it can cause more friction and wear on your engine.
• Lastly, the oil won’t lubricate engine parts, and the engine will eventually fail altogether.
