2013 Toyota Avalon Tire Information
Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Avalon tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. Think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience when evaluating your driving conditions. Drivers in states that fully experience all four seasons often buy two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers prefer the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!
Next, consider your driving style. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Avalon.

Can I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires at home? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Avalon tires. Grab a penny.

What is the average lifespan of a car battery? Car battery lifespan varies depending on a few factors, including driving conditions, accessories, how well it’s maintained, and the type of battery. On average, a car battery lasts about three to five years.
-
Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Avalon’s battery post? The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Avalon car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.
2013 Toyota Avalon Oil Changes
Toyota recommends having your 2013 Toyota Avalon’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Your Avalon may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, enjoy off-roading, or drive at low speeds for long distances.
Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota Avalon. Talk with a teammate and consult your owner's manual before picking a motor oil. At Firestone Complete Auto Care, you can choose from the following oils: Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, and Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. In an oil change service, an auto technician will change your Avalon’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. Make an appointment for an oil change service today and let the oil experts take care of your Avalon's engine.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2013 Toyota Avalon

Will it hurt my Toyota Avalon to drive with old spark plugs? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.

Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2013 Toyota Avalon
When you first bought your 2013 Toyota Avalon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your Avalon bounces, pulls to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn.

2013 Toyota Avalon Steering & Suspension Questions
-
Why does my Toyota Avalon bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Avalon might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
-
Why does my Avalon's nose dive down when I hit the brakes? As you brake, the forward momentum of your Avalon combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
-
Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Avalon's steering and suspension? Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

What causes A/C system leaks? A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Avalon's A/C system.
-
Why does my vehicle have to be moving for my Avalon’s A/C to work? If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Avalon’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Does my Avalon's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Maintaining your Toyota Avalon transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
-
Can Toyota Avalon transmission fluid leak? Yes. Toyota Avalon transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems. Transmission fluid leaks are often caused by worn or damaged transmission components, such as the transmission pan, cooler lines, seals, or housing. An overfilled transmission may also be behind your transmission fluid leak.

Can I drive my Toyota Avalon with a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your Avalon to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
