2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Tire Information

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota FJ Cruiser tires like where and how you drive, and what tire brand you trust most. 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 for winter and one 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!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're an avid off-roader who yearns to pioneer new paths, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't hit the hills very often. Talk to a tire technician at Firestone Complete Auto Care for help choosing the best tire for you, or start shopping for Toyota FJ Cruiser tires online.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Tire Questions

  • Why are there numbers on the side of my Toyota FJ Cruiser tires? The numbers on your tire sidewall give you information about tire speed rating, traction, treadwear, tire size, and load carrying capacity. Chat with a tire technician to learn how to read the numbers on your Toyota tires!
  • Is there an easy way to check Toyota tire tread depth? 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 FJ Cruiser tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove.

After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Toyota’s recommended measurements.

Engine Q&A 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my FJ Cruiser? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is just your FJ Cruiser testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Toyota FJ Cruiser making engine noise? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota FJ Cruiser. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Toyota FJ Cruiser engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine.

  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.
  • What is causing the tires on my FJ Cruiser to keep losing air?  If your FJ Cruiser tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

Commonly Asked Toyota FJ Cruiser Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota FJ Cruiser 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.
  • How long can I expect my car battery to last?  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 FJ Cruiser’s battery post?  A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your FJ Cruiser car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Oil Change Service

Your 2010 FJ Cruiser’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. Your FJ Cruiser may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, adventure off-road, or go long distances at low speeds.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser 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.

Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your FJ Cruiser today.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Oil Change Q&A

  • What does it mean if my Toyota FJ Cruiser oil light comes on?  Your Toyota FJ Cruiser 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 FJ Cruiser oil at home?  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?  You could have an oil leak and have a case of burning oil. Looks like it’s time for a professional to take a look. The leak could be the result of worn valve seals, fried piston rings, or old cylinder walls.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Engine Tune-Ups & Maintenance

Routine engine tune-ups can bring power back to your FJ Cruiser. Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care offers a range of engine tune-up services for your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. The second service focuses on your FJ Cruiser's filters, specifically replacing the air filter and fuel filter. 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 FJ Cruiser's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. The result? Restored fuel system performance. Here’s something to remember when choosing services: the mileage and service history of your FJ Cruiser can determine what kind of service it needs. Talk to a technician about your driving style, mileage, and service history to learn more about your vehicle's specific needs.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • When should Toyota FJ Cruiser spark plugs be replaced?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota FJ Cruiser? 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 often should I clean my Toyota FJ Cruiser fuel injectors? 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 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser

When you first bought your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Now, however, things are starting to feel a little rough. Maybe your FJ Cruiser jolts, pulls 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 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your car needs steering and suspension repairs, 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.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Steering & Suspension Questions

  • What can cause my Toyota FJ Cruiser to have a bouncy ride?  Excessive bouncing in your Toyota FJ Cruiser 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 FJ Cruiser's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your FJ Cruiser's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does tire pressure and tread depth impact 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.

Convenient & Local 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser A/C Service

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser A/C problems. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser’s A/C system to see if repair work is required. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

While your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Toyota's recommendations. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser A/C System FAQs

  • Why do I get hot air from my FJ Cruiser A/C?  An A/C blowing hot air has several possible root causes. There could be an issue with your compressor clutch, a blown fuse, a leak, or a clog in the expansion valve.
  • What causes A/C system leaks? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your FJ Cruiser’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • Why won’t my FJ Cruiser’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  A problem with one or more of your air conditioning or electrical system components could cause the A/C to only work when your FJ Cruiser is moving. You may be low on refrigerant, or the cooling fan could be faulty.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Transmission Service & Repairs

Your transmission carries power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive at the speed you desire. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. Toyota FJ Cruiser transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Toyota FJ Cruiser transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that your FJ Cruiser isn’t working at all. Our expert techs are familiar with 2010 FJ Cruiser services and perform them according to Toyota-recommended specifications. If you think there’s something wrong with your FJ Cruiser’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your Toyota running for miles and miles.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Transmission Questions & Answers

  • When should I have my FJ Cruiser's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 2010 FJ Cruiser’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 Toyota FJ Cruiser transmission fluid leak?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota FJ Cruiser, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Can I still drive my Toyota FJ Cruiser if it has 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 FJ Cruiser to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Inspections

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we perform a multi-point Courtesy Check during any vehicle service. First, a technician will pop the hood on your Toyota FJ Cruiser and test the battery to find out how much charge is remaining on it. The check will continue with a visual inspection of your Toyota FJ Cruiser's windshield wiper blades, lights, filters, fluid levels, belts, hoses, tires, and alignment.

We perform a Courtesy Check any time you bring your car to a local Firestone Complete Auto Care for service, but we also offer an in-depth Complete Vehicle Inspection for your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

In some cities or states, your local Firestone Complete Auto Care may be able to perform state-mandated inspections or safety tests on your vehicle. Specific requirements for these types of inspections vary by state.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Vehicle Inspection Q and A

  • How do I know if my Toyota FJ Cruiser needs a check-up? You drive your car, day in and day out, so you know it best. If you notice unusual engine noises or you can’t shake the feeling that something is 'off,' start with a Courtesy Check to stay ahead of potential issues.
  • Help! My 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser failed the state inspection test. Can you get it to pass? There's a good chance we can. Stop by for a full system inspection and we'll get to the root of the issue.
  • What's the ideal timing for a full vehicle inspection on my Toyota FJ Cruiser?  It’s generally a good idea to get a complete vehicle inspection for your Toyota FJ Cruiser before a road trip and/or when something strange occurs and you are unable to find the cause. Signs something is up include dashboard lights illuminating, odd noises coming from the engine, and your steering feeling loose or tight.

2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser Radiator Service

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. Toyota recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Toyota FJ Cruiser’s cooling system. Then, we’ll move on to a machine-powered coolant exchange. Finally, we’ll refill the flushed sealants, lubricants and chemicals, then do a pressure check to catch any possible leaks. From the radiator cap to the heater core, we’re here to give your 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser the top-notch service it needs.

Common Toyota FJ Cruiser Radiator Questions

  • What does the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard mean?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • Why is my FJ Cruiser overheating?  If your Toyota FJ Cruiser engine overheats, it could be because of a clogged radiator, a damaged thermostat, a faulty cooling fan, a malfunctioning water pump, or low coolant levels.
  • What can cause a FJ Cruiser radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds?  Air pockets in your FJ Cruiser’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
