What can low oil do to my Toyota Celica engine?

Engine oil lubricates moving parts in your engine. If your oil runs low, these components can grind against each other, overheat, and cause your Toyota Celica engine to fail. That’s why you’re better off checking your oil levels and investing in routine lube services.

How hard is it to change Toyota Celica oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. You’ll have to figure out how to properly dispose of the oil and buy special tools. 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?
