An important element of a vehicle is the oil in your motor. Whether it’s working to keep the engine cool or lubricating components to keep from grinding against each other, the engine oil is the lifeline for your vehicle. The engine oil helps the engine in numerous ways. It helps protect the engine by keeping it clean from debris, which protects its operation. Oil reduces friction and wear, which can also enhance the fuel performance of your vehicle. Lastly, it reduces the heat inside the engine and pushes it to other components of the engine. If you are unsure about the status of your engine oil, contact our service technicians for a vehicle inspection.

Consistently testing the oil level can help the driver ensure oil health and maintain proper oil levels. To not touch hot engine parts, it’s a best practice to check the oil when the engine is cooled. Most dipsticks have guidelines to display if the oil levels are low and should be topped off. Also when using the dipstick, you can check the oil texture. If the oil is light in color and smooth, it shouldn’t be changed. But, if the oil appears sludgy and dark, then it’s best to change it.
If your dipstick regularly shows low oil levels then you may have a leak. There are multiple ways to check for an oil leak, which is integral because a leak could cause damage to your vehicle’s engine. If there are dark puddles under your car, it is possibly a result of its oil pan leaking oil. A scent of burning oil or smoke from the engine may also be an essential indicator of an oil leak. Also, the engine overheating could possibly be a result of an oil leak.
Learning when to replace your vehicle’s engine oil is crucial to negate harm to the engine in your car. While some may recommend a short oil change interval from 3,000 to 5,000 miles, it is recommended to have your oil replaced every six months or 5,000-7,000 mi., whichever one happens first. If you’re uncertain about when to have an oil change you should contact our service department for more accurate info about your vehicle.

Very friendly and professional. The service staff treated my trucklike it was their own. Thank you
I am very satisfied still and at peace with the services I get, made my care safe to drive. The only thing that I am not happy about is that I had ana appointment at 0745 am and got the car at almost 4pm. Am hoping next time I would get update that it would take long so I can also be productive of the day rather than keepin’ on waiting.amidst all this staff Kolby is amazing.Thank you gene messer Toyota.
