Routine Toyota service is a crucial part of owning a vehicle. These are a few maintenance tasks you’ll see at appointments at Tom Wood Toyota.
Engine Oil Change
Your engine oil lubricates your engine’s parts, which minimizes friction and heat. Without it, the components can overheat and warp. This can even eventually lead to complete engine failure over time.
As your engine oil ages, it loses efficiency and becomes thick and dirty. This is why engine oil changes are crucial.
Top-Off of Fluids
There are multiple fluids in your vehicle besides your engine oil. Your maintenance appointments will include top-offs of these fluids. There are times these fluids will need to be flushed and replaced instead. Make sure you check your owner’s manual to see the appropriate schedule for your vehicle.
- Brake fluid
- Power steering fluid
- Coolant
- Transmission fluid
- Windshield wiper fluid
Filter Replacement
Your vehicle has filters for the cabin, engine air intake, fuel, transmission, and oil. These help to keep contaminants out of their respective spaces. This helps to improve your vehicle’s efficiency, and they help to minimize wear too.
Naturally, 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 includes exchanging your tires’ positions on your vehicle. Typically, it includes switching the tires from front to back and from driver to passenger side (or vice versa).
It can vary, though, depending on your vehicle’s drivetrain. If you don’t regularly rotate your tires, they can wear unevenly, leading to poor handling and a great chance of blowouts.
