Toyota recommends having your 1988 Toyota 4Runner’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your 4Runner in the above table. No matter the mileage, your 4Runner may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the vehicle, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Toyota 4Runner. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1988 Toyota 4Runner motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Toyota has specifically identified either synthetic or conventional as the best motor oil for your 1988 4Runner. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, keep the engine cool, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. In an oil change service, one of our techs will change your 4Runner’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your 4Runner by considering your driving style, local climate,
