How Often Should I Get an Oil Change?
The frequency at which you need an oil change can be heavily dependent on the type of car you’re driving, but a good rule of thumb is to stop by our Toyota service center for an oil change at least twice a year or once you’ve driven between 5,000 and 7,000 miles.
What Exactly Is an Oil Change?
When you stop by our Woodbridge Toyota service center for an oil change, the first step is completely removing the oil so that we can put clean, fresh fluids instead. You’ll find a variety of engine oil types, including synthetic options, and we’ll also replace your oil filter if it has become worn out over time.
How Can I Check My Oil Levels?
Thankfully, it is quite simple to check your oil at home. Most modern Toyota models come with an electronic sensor that alerts you when the oil levels in your engine are getting low, but you can also use a traditional dipstick to manually check the fluid levels underneath your hood.
Is It Possible to Change Your Own Oil?
While technically possible, the process of changing your own engine oil can get complicated and extremely messy. We always recommend stopping by our service center where our factory-trained technicians will be more than happy to assist you throughout the entire process.
How Long Does an Oil Change Take?
You can always set up an appointment online if you’re worried about wait times, but the actual process of changing your oil is quite quick for our service professionals. Normally, an oil change takes anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes depending on the severity.
