How Often to Get 2000 Toyota Corolla Oil Changes

Not sure how or where to get your Toyota Corolla’s oil changed? Turn to Firestone Complete Auto Care! We're experts in more than tires. We know all about motor oil, too.

Toyota recommends changing your 2000 Corolla’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Corolla in the above table.
