​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Oil is one of your Toyota's most essential fluids, as it enhances engine efficiency and enables it to work effectively. It slowly degrades over time, and older oil can cause serious damage to your engine if it's not replaced. As your Toyota dealer, we want to tell you more about what oil does for your engine and why a regular oil change is important. more What Oil Does Oil is pumped through your engine by the oil pump. As it moves through your engine, the oil coats engine components with a friction-resistant coating. This coating allows engine components to move at an efficient speed and suffer no friction damage. This is particularly important, as many engine components naturally generate friction, which could lead to additional damage if they're not protected. The oil's fast movement helps to cool hot engine components, which reduces the engine temperature. The oil contains various additives, and two of the most important common additives break down carbon buildup in your engine, which could lead to blockages and reduce rust. Types of Oil There are three types of oil: synthetic, semi-synthetic, and conventional. Synthetic oil is created in a laboratory, semi-synthetic oil is a mixture of synthetic and conventional oil, while conventional oil is naturally obtained by drilling into the ground. Regardless of the type of oil used, all oil will slowly break down and become less effective. The type of oil in your engine determines its replacement time. You can easily identify the oil in your Toyota by checking the details in your car manual. When to Change the Oil Synthetic oil usually needs replacement every six months or 6,000 miles. Semi-synthetic oil has an active life of five months or 5,000 miles, and conventional oil has the lowest replacement time of three months or 3,000 miles. Why Change the Oil? Oil absorbs dirt, minute metal fragments, and other debris as it passes through your engine. This debris accumulates in the oil and causes it to move slower. Slower moving is less effective at reducing the engine temperature and doesn't supply the same level of friction protection it once did. Reduced friction protection leads to increased component damage and potentially more serious damage. Changing the Oil Our technicians drain the old oil and test it to identify any potential unseen engine issues that need repair. Once the oil has been drained, we remove and replace the old oil filter. We reseal the oil sump where the oil is stored and test it for leaks. Once the sump is sealed we refill your oil. Changing the oil extends your engine life and improves engine efficiency. Visit our service department today at Ed Martin Toyota in Noblesville, IN.

Regularly repositioning the tires on your Toyota promotes uniform wear across all four tires. Getting tire rotations at your Toyota dealer offers you a whole lot of excellent benefits, including potentially saving you cash on gas and tires. more 1. Ensures Your Tires Wear Down Evenly Front and rear tires wear differently because of their respective functions. The front tires wear down quicker than the rear tires on a front-wheel drive vehicle. To prevent uneven tread wear, swap the front and rear tires to new positions on your vehicle every time you take your car for an oil change. Regular rotations will minimize the difference in wear across all four tires. 2. Prolongs the Life of Your Tires If your front and rear tires are not regularly swapped to different positions on your vehicle, they don't wear down evenly, and you'll have to buy new ones more often. When all four tires are rotated regularly, the front and rear tires will wear at the same rate. This means you'll get more out of each tire, and they'll last much longer. 3. Saves You Money at the Gas Pump If you want to save money at the gas station, ask your Toyota technician to swap your tires. When your tires are worn down, they create resistance, making the engine work harder. When the engine strains, you will spend a lot more on gas. 4. Keeps You Safe Behind the Wheel Routinely switching your vehicle's tires will ensure even tread depth and wear across all your tires. It will improve your car's braking ability, increase the stopping distance, and give you the traction you need, even in bad weather conditions on slippery road surfaces. All in all, regular rotations will enhance your car's overall handling. 5. Limits Steering Vibrations and Damage Unevenly worn tires could cause noticeable vibrations through the steering wheel. If the problem is not taken care of, it could ultimately impact your vehicle's wheel alignment and damage components. To prevent vibrations and damage, regularly switch your tires around to reduce uneven wear, limit vibrations to the minimum, and ensure a smoother and safer driving experience. 6. Ensures Your Tires Are in Excellent Condition The technicians at your dealer perform a thorough tire inspection to ensure your tires are in good condition when they rotate your car's tires. They will check each tire's tread depth, inspect the sidewalls for damage, and inflate them to the proper PSI. Routinely swapping your Toyota's front and rear tires to different positions will save you money on gas and tires and keep you safe on the road. Swing by Ed Martin Toyota today to take advantage of all the great benefits of regular rotations.
