Routine Toyota service is a crucial part of owning a vehicle. These are a few essential maintenance tasks you’ll see at appointments at Sansone Toyota.  

Motor Oil Change  

Your engine oil lubricates your engine’s parts, which minimizes friction and heat. Without it, the parts can overheat and warp, which can even eventually lead to complete engine failure over time. As your engine oil ages, it loses efficiency and becomes thick and dirty. Fresh oil keeps your Toyota vehicle running smoothly and efficiently, as well as extends your engine’s lifespan.  

Top-Off of Fluids 

There are several fluids in your vehicle besides your engine oil. A standard oil change service includes topping off these fluids — or flushing their systems if needed. Make sure to check your owner’s manual to see the appropriate schedule for your vehicle. 

Fluids that need to be topped off or flushed and replaced include:

  • Brake fluid
  • Power steering fluid
  • Coolant
  • Transmission fluid
  • Windshield wiper fluid

Filter Replacement  

Your vehicle has four primary filters: cabin, air, fuel, and oil. These help to keep contaminants out of their respective spaces, helping to improve your vehicle’s efficiency and minimize wear. As they accumulate particles, they can become too dirty, restricting airflow. This can diminish your vehicle’s performance and fuel efficiency.  

Tire Rotation  

A tire rotation involves shifting your tires to different wheels. Typically, tires are switched from front to back and from driver to passenger side (or vice versa). If you don’t regularly rotate your tires, they can wear unevenly, which leaves your tires prone to deflation and damage.
