Signs You Need an Oil Change

- Dark, dirty oil on the dipstick
- Loud engine noise or knocking
- Low oil level on the dipstick
- Check engine light illuminating on your dashboard
- Exhaust smoke that appears thick or dark
If you notice any of these signs, it's best to schedule an oil change as soon as possible to avoid potential engine damage.
What Does Oil Do?
Oil plays a vital role in keeping your Toyota's engine running efficiently and reliably. The main functions of engine oil include:
- Lubricating moving parts to reduce friction and wear
- Cooling the engine by absorbing and dissipating heat
- Cleaning the engine by trapping and removing dirt and debris
- Preventing build-up of sludge and deposits
- Improving fuel efficiency by reducing engine friction
Regular oil changes ensure that your engine oil is clean and effective at performing these critical functions.
What Happens During a Toyota Oil Change?
When you bring your Toyota in for an oil change at our dealership, our technicians will do more than just drain and replace the oil. The oil change service includes a multi-point inspection to check key components and identify any potential issues before they become bigger problems. This helps maintain your Toyota's performance, safety and longevity.
During a typical Toyota oil change service, our technicians will:
- Drain the old oil and replace it with new, high-quality oil that meets Toyota specifications
- Replace the oil filter to keep contaminants and debris out of your engine
- Check all fluid levels including coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid and washer fluid
- Inspect belts and hoses for cracks, wear or bulges
- Check the tire pressure and tread depth
- Inspect the brakes, suspension and undercarriage
- Top off any low fluids
We use diagnostic equipment to identify any issues that may not be visible otherwise. This approach helps us provide the best possible service and catch small issues before they turn into costly repairs.
How Often Should You Change Your Toyota's Oil?
Toyota recommends getting an oil change every 5,000 to 7,500 miles as you drive. This depends on your specific model and driving habits in Rochester, MI. However, it's always best to check your owner's manual for the exact recommended oil change interval for your vehicle.
You may need to change your oil more often if you frequently drive in stop-and-go traffic, in extreme temperatures, or haul heavy loads in Bloomfield, MI.
