1997 Toyota Land Cruiser Maintenance

When it comes to your Toyota Land Cruiser, how you treat your car makes all the difference in its performance. If you put in the effort to keep up with proper maintenance, your Land Cruiser has a good chance of hitting 200,000 miles or more. But how do you know what service to get and when? There's no need to guess when it's time to get Land Cruiser maintenance, and no need to wait until something goes wrong. Rely on the recommended maintenance schedule that’s been created just for your 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser!

The recommended maintenance schedule is put together by Toyota, your vehicle manufacturer. Scheduled maintenance services can vary depending on driving conditions, climate, and other factors; however, recommended maintenance usually includes services like oil changes, tire rotations, brake pad replacement, filter changes, and fluid checks and exchanges. Staying on track with routine service appointments can help your Land Cruiser perform better, increase your vehicle safety, and maybe even save you the headache of dealing with common 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser problems in the future.

Come to Firestone Complete Auto Care for manufacturer-recommended routine maintenance on your 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser and our technicians will jump right in with a Courtesy Check. This Courtesy Check can establish a baseline of what may need to be addressed during your service appointment. During a Courtesy Check, we’ll always check your battery, then we’ll move on to inspect your Land Cruiser’s head and tail lights, tires, fluid levels, alignment, and windshield wipers.

Could your 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser be ready for a new battery? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years). Depending on the climate where you live and your habits while driving, your Land Cruiser may need a replacement battery sooner. Short trips and extreme temperatures can shorten the overall life expectancy of your Toyota Land Cruiser battery. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your Land Cruiser stranded. Your Toyota Land Cruiser could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.

Ensuring you always have a well-charged battery can help your car’s overall performance, and regularly scheduled oil changes can help your 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser's engine run smoother. See Toyota's recommendations for oil change intervals for your 1997 Land Cruiser in the chart at the top of this page. Remember, things like average outside temperature or frequency of trips could increase or decrease this interval for your specific vehicle. Come in and speak with a Firestone Complete Auto Care technician to find out how often to change your oil. We can also answer any questions you have about what type of oil to use for your 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser.
