How Often to Get 2000 Toyota Avalon Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Toyota Avalon’s oil changed? Look no further than 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.”

Your 2000 Avalon’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. See mileage and month specifics in the above table. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your Avalon may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go at low speeds on long distance trips. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Toyota Avalon. In fact, every oil change is an opportunity to diagnose and treat any other issues, such as bad brakes or a failing battery.
