Should I check my Toyota 4Runner motor oil level?

Engine oil is a lubricant for the moving parts in your engine. If your oil reservoir is low or empty, these parts can grind together, overheat, and cause your 4Runner’s engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

Can I change my Toyota 4Runner oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Toyota exhaust smoke gray or blue?

You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, blown piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

What does it mean if my Toyota 4Runner oil light comes on?

Your Toyota 4Runner oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty oil pressure sensor.

Should the oil filter be replaced when getting an oil change for my Toyota 4Runner?

It's recommended that you replace your Toyota 4Runner oil filter with every oil change. Otherwise, you send fresh, clean motor oil through a dirty filter. That's like putting on muddy socks after a shower.

How Often to Get 1991 Toyota 4Runner Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Toyota 4Runner’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Toyota recommends having your 1991 Toyota 4Runner’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your 4Runner may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Toyota 4Runner. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
