Toyota Oil Change FAQs

Should I Use Conventional or Synthetic Oil in My Toyota?

Nearly all Toyota models recommend synthetic oil to reach the recommended oil change interval of 7,500 to 10,000 miles. Conventional oil will reduce this interval considerably, especially under the demands of summer driving.

How Often Should I Check My Oil?

Check your oil at least once a month, especially if you plan on traveling or venturing off-road. This allows you to keep an eye on your oil level and the oil's condition, so you can track your overall summer usage.

What If I Don't Change My Oil?

Not changing your oil can lead to a variety of engine problems such as overheating, engine knocking, and smoking. Stay on top of your Toyota oil change schedule to ensure these issues don't happen miles away from home.
