Commonly Asked Toyota Avalon Battery Questions
-
Why won't my Toyota Avalon battery stay charged? A car battery that needs to be jump-started every time is as good as dead. It may be getting old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the dome lights on during the night. Stop in for a free battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
-
What is the average lifespan of a car battery? A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
-
Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Avalon’s battery post? The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Avalon’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Avalon, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.
Oil Changes for 2021 Toyota Avalon
Toyota recommends having your 2021 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 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, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances.
Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2021 Toyota Avalon motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. 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, a technician will change your Avalon's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, check all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a courtesy inspection on your entire vehicle. Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your Avalon today.
2021 Toyota Avalon Oil Change Q&A
-
What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Avalon to illuminate? Your Toyota Avalon oil change reminder light might illuminate if it’s been too long since your last oil change. On the other hand, the oil pressure light might illuminate due to a clogged oil filter, a faulty oil pressure sensor, low engine oil levels, or a malfunctioning oil pump.
-
Can I change my Toyota Avalon oil at home? First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to buy special tools and figure out a way to recycle the old oil properly. Getting a professional oil change reduces the risk of something going wrong during the service, but also helps your car perform down the road.
-
Why is my Toyota Avalon exhaust smoke grayish or blue? Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak. It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.
2021 Toyota Avalon Tune-Up & Engine Service
Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your Avalon. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Avalon engine tune-up services. The standard Firestone Tune-Up is one service option. The standard Firestone Tune-Up includes new spark plugs (and installation!), a thorough inspection of engine components, and a lifetime parts warranty*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Avalon. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your Avalon's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your Avalon's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.
*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.
2021 Toyota Avalon Engine Tune-Up Q&A
-
What happens if my Toyota Avalon spark plugs fail? Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
-
What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota Avalon? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
-
How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Avalon need to be cleaned? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Toyota owner’s manual for exact guidelines.
Suspension Service & Repair for 2021 Toyota Avalon
When you first drove your 2021 Toyota Avalon, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Avalon feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2021 Toyota Avalon in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll get to the root of the problem and, if your Avalon suspension system needs repair, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.
2021 Toyota Avalon Steering & Suspension Questions
-
Why is my Toyota Avalon bouncing excessively? 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 tilt forward when I hit the brakes? The forward dip in the front end of your Avalon when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
-
Does tire pressure and tread depth impact my Toyota's 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.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2021 Toyota Avalon A/C Systems
-
Why do I get hot air from my Avalon A/C? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
-
What causes A/C system leaks? Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Avalon’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
-
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.

Questions About 2021 Toyota Avalon’s Transmission
-
How often does my Avalon transmission fluid need to be checked? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2021 Avalon’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
-
Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Avalon? Yes. Toyota Avalon transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
-
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.
