Tips to Keep Your Toyota Truck Running

By following these tips, you can enjoy optimal performance, longevity, and fuel efficiency from your Toyota truck. From engine maintenance to suspension tuning, we've got the inside scoop on how to keep your vehicle running smoothly.

Engine Maintenance

Regular oil changes are crucial for extending the life of your engine. Check your owner's manual for the recommended interval, and consider using a high-performance oil to keep your engine running smoothly.
Use the correct type of coolant for your truck's make and model. Old or low-quality coolant can damage your engine over time.
Change your air filter regularly to ensure good airflow and prevent breakdowns.

Tire Care

Tire wear is one of the most critical aspects of tire maintenance. Regular check-ups can help identify issues before they become major problems.

Check your tire pressure at least once a month, and before long trips. Underinflated tires can lead to reduced fuel efficiency and increased risk of blowouts.
Rotate your tires every 5,000-8,000 miles to ensure even wear and extend their lifespan.
Use high-quality tire seals or patches to repair damaged sidewalls. This will help prevent air leaks and improve fuel efficiency.

Oil Changes

Oil changes are a critical aspect of vehicle maintenance. Regular oil changes can help extend the life of your engine, reduce wear on other components, and improve fuel efficiency.

10W-30	5,000-7,500 miles

Suspension Tuning

Suspension tuning is essential for maintaining your truck's handling and stability. By adjusting your suspension settings, you can improve ride comfort, reduce vibration, and enhance overall driving experience.

Consult with a professional mechanic or technician to determine the best suspension settings for your truck model. Some common adjustments include:

Reballing the sway bar to adjust ride height
Correction of the front and rear springs
Adjustment of the shock absorbers
