Choosing 1985 Toyota Celica Tires

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Celica tires like which tire brands you like most and where you drive. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for summer and one for winter. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, 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. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota Celica tires online.

1985 Toyota Celica Tire Q&A

Commonly Asked Toyota Celica Battery Questions

Or, you may have been leaving your car doors ajar and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your favorite Firestone Complete Auto Care and get a handle on your car battery’s health.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Celica’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Celica’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.

If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

1985 Toyota Celica Oil Change Service

Your 1985 Celica’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. Your Celica may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 1985 Toyota Celica motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Celica oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 1985 Toyota Celica

  • What does it mean if my Toyota Celica oil light comes on?  Your Toyota Celica 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 oil on my own?  Changing your own oil isn't as convenient as you might think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also with your vehicle down the road.
  • Why is my Toyota exhaust smoke gray 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.

1985 Toyota Celica Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • What happens if my Toyota Celica 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 should I do if I see leaks under my Celica? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Celica. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Celica need to be cleaned? The frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

1985 Toyota Celica Suspension Service & Repair

When you first bought your 1985 Toyota Celica, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! But these days, things are starting to feel a bit rough. Perhaps your Celica feels bouncy, sways to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 1985 Toyota Celica in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

1985 Toyota Celica Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Toyota Celica to have a bouncy ride?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota Celica 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 Celica's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward dip in the front end of your Celica 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.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Keeping your tires properly inflated can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also help you notice when you need new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.

A/C Service for Your 1985 Toyota Celica

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 1985 Toyota Celica A/C problems. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 1985 Toyota Celica A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

While your 1985 Toyota Celica’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To start this process, a technician will flush out the old refrigerant from your vehicle’s A/C system. Then, they’ll use Toyota’s specifications to evacuate the system. The A/C system is recharged with new refrigerant.

Frequently Asked Questions for 1985 Toyota Celica A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Celica A/C put out warm air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Celica’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 Celica’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your Celica is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

1985 Toyota Celica Transmission Service

Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 1985 Toyota Celica transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood.

Our technicians know how to service your 1985 Celica up to Toyota-recommended standards.

  • Does my Celica's transmission fluid need to be inspected?  Caring for your Toyota Celica’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can Toyota Celica transmission fluid leak? Yes, your Toyota Celica can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Celica ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Can I drive my Toyota Celica 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 Celica to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.

1985 Toyota Celica Inspections

Every service performed at Firestone Complete Auto Care includes a multi-point Courtesy Check.
