Do You Need an Oil Change?

When you visit a Toyota Service Center, you'll likely get a reminder that your vehicle needs an oil change. If you have a later-model Toyota, you can go by the indicator light that tells you when your oil needs to be changed. Our Toyota service techs can also let you know the recommended interval for your older model Toyota vehicle. If you're not sure when your last oil change was, you can inspect your oil and note the color and feel. It probably needs to be changed if it's dark brown and not very slippery.

What Goes Into This Service?

You might be wondering what Toyota parts are involved in an oil service. When our techs perform your maintenance, they change out the engine oil filter and add the required amount of new oil to your engine. In most cases, that's all needed for an oil change. The amount of oil your vehicle takes will usually depend on the model and engine size. Smaller engines require less oil than larger engines. When you get an oil change in Laconia, NH, at Irwin Toyota, you can rest assured that our techs know exactly how much oil to add.

What Is an Oil Maintenance Interval?

An oil change interval is the amount of time between changes. In many cases, your car's indicator light will illuminate when you need this service performed. The time between oil changes can vary depending on your driving habits. If you have an older model without an indicator light, the interval will depend on what type of oil you use and your driving habits. For example, if you use conventional oil in your older Toyota Corolla, you should probably schedule service between 3,000 and 6,000 miles. Using synthetic oil can increase the interval, with some being as long as 10,000 miles or 12 months.

What Oil Does Your Car Require?

You can usually find the type of oil your car requires by checking your owner's manual. Many modern vehicles take full synthetic oil. For example, a new Toyota Tundra requires 0W-20 full synthetic oil. On the other hand, an old Toyota Avalon will likely require 5W-30 oil, and it can be either a synthetic blend or full synthetic. When you get your vehicle serviced at a Toyota Service Center like Irwin Toyota, our techs know exactly what type of oil your Toyota needs, whether brand new or 20 years old.
