Help your 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser run newer, longer with routine oil changes. Schedule your oil change appointment today.
Looking for oil change recommendations for your 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. Oil and lube services are also our specialties. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Your 1996 Land Cruiser’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Land Cruiser in the above table. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your Land Cruiser may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty areas, adventure off-road, or drive at low speeds for long distances. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Toyota Land Cruiser. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
Whether you need high mileage oil, synthetic oil, or conventional oil, you'll find the right 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser motor oil at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Toyota has recommendations as to whether conventional or synthetic oil is the best motor oil for your 1996 Land Cruiser. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and prevent harmful substances from accumulating in the engine. During an oil change, an auto technician will change your Land Cruiser’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and filter, inspect all of your other filters, top-off essential fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Land Cruiser by considering your driving style, and the number of miles on your odometer.
