2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser Maintenance Schedule

Take care of your Toyota FJ Cruiser and it'll take care of you. With the right maintenance at the right time, your FJ Cruiser could be on the road well past the 200,000 mile mark. So, you want to care for your car, but you’re not sure when to get certain services. Instead of waiting for an issue to arise with your FJ Cruiser, you can stay ahead of problems before they even begin. It’s as easy as following the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been written specifically for your 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser!

This recommended maintenance schedule is written by the auto manufacturer, Toyota themselves. Driving conditions, climate variations, and other variables can affect which scheduled maintenance services you’ll need; in most cases, though, recommended maintenance will consist of services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Keeping up with routine service appointments is a great way to keep your FJ Cruiser running for longer, decrease your risk of dangerous malfunctions on the road, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser problems in the future.

Bring your 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser to Firestone Complete Auto Care for factory-recommended maintenance services and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. The Courtesy Check helps us see what we’re working with under the hood, and allows us to alert you to any potential problems before they worsen. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your FJ Cruiser’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years. There’s a chance you’ll need a replacement sooner, but it depends on the climate in your area as well as your driving habits. Taking short trips or exposing your car to extreme temperatures (like in the dead of winter or heat of summer) could reduce the life expectancy of your Toyota FJ Cruiser battery. Sure, you could wait until your battery is completely dead, but it’s a much wiser decision to replace it before you need to. Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty FJ Cruiser) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Toyota FJ Cruiser could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

In addition to maintaining a strong battery, investing in regular oil changes can help your 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser's engine run smoother. Reference the chart toward the top of the page if you're not sure about the optimal oil change intervals for your 2013 FJ Cruiser. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. A Firestone Complete Auto Care technician will be happy to help you determine the best oil change frequency for your car’s needs. We'll also help you understand what type of oil to use for your 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

Periodic service to the steering system in your Toyota FJ Cruiser can not only ensure a smooth ride; it can also help you maintain control of your car in compromised road conditions. Don’t let a misalignment or pulling steering wheel put you in danger. Bring your car to Firestone Complete Auto Care, where our technicians can check your car’s steering components and, if necessary, provide Toyota FJ Cruiser steering and suspension services including wheel alignment, strut replacement, power steering fluid changes, ball joint lubrication, and wheel bearing replacement. To keep your car running at its best, it’s essential to have regular maintenance services on your Toyota FJ Cruiser's steering and suspension system.

If you fall behind on routine Toyota FJ Cruiser maintenance (or worse, don’t do it at all!), you (and your engine) could quickly lose your cool when there's a problem on the road–especially if that problem is an overheated engine or broken A/C. Our technicians have you covered there, too, with the tools and expertise to care for your entire Toyota FJ Cruiser cooling, heating, and climate control system. Is it time to replace the radiator in your Toyota FJ Cruiser? We got it. A/C smelling musty? We'll fix it. Firestone Complete Auto Care is your one-stop shop for 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser maintenance and repairs.

We can help you keep your vehicle (and your life!) running smoothly. Many of our locations have weekend and evening hours for your convenience.
