There are numerous fluids running through the heart of your Toyota, ensuring its proper performance on the road. As you drive, they get dirty, or used up, and will need to be replaced just like your oil does. When the time comes to flush and replace those fluids, the certified technical crew here at Downtown Toyota is happy to help get it done quickly and efficiently, so you’re back on the road as soon as possible.
What Fluids Are In My Vehicle?
Different Toyota vehicles require different fluids to ensure proper safe functioning. Not every type of fluid can be found in every model, but they may include:
- Antifreeze
- Brake Fluid
- Diesel Exhaust Fluid
- Differential Fluid
- Fuel
- Oil
- Power Steering Fluid
- Radiator Coolant
- Refrigerant
- Transfer Case Fluid
- Transmission Fluid
- Windshield Wiper Fluid
What’s the Importance of Fluid Replacement?
First of all, regular driving can use up many of these fluids. Things like windshield fluid and fuel need to be topped up all the time. Even those that are circulated through the engine can evaporate, or get gunked up with particulates and dirt. For many of these systems, a regular flushing will clear them out, and fresh fluids will ensure optimal performance.
How Often Should I Change My Vehicle’s Fluids?
Some fluids, like oil, require regular changes – usually every six months or so. For others, they can last much longer, but still do require occasional replacement. In general, all of your vehicle’s fluids should get replaced every two years.
