About 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Tires

Apart from finding the right tire size, you also want to think about a couple of other things when getting new Toyota Land Cruiser tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. 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. It's not uncommon for drivers in states that experience all four seasons to buy more than one set of tires. one for winter and one for summer. Other drivers prefer to purchase one all-season set to limit trips to the tire shop and make sure their vehicle is prepared in the rain, sleet, 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. Browse Toyota Land Cruiser tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

  • How long can I expect my Land Cruiser brake pads to last? Brake pads typically last about 30,000 to 40,000 miles. However, driving conditions can affect this range. Sticking to highway driving and braking smoothly can help extend the life of your brake pads, while towing heavy loads or frequently riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Does brake fluid leak when the car is off? Your Land Cruiser brake system is a closed hydraulic system, which means that the brake fluid should not leak out of the system under normal circumstances. However, over time, the various components of the brake system can wear out or become damaged, which can cause brake fluid to leak out of the system.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Land Cruiser? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Land Cruiser firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why does my Toyota engine sound different? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your Toyota Land Cruiser engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing can indicate a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Toyota Land Cruiser engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up.

  • Will a temporary sealant fix my Toyota's flat tire? Fast fixes are a mixed blessing. They’ll help you get your Toyota Land Cruiser to Firestone Complete Auto Care, but don’t count on them to keep you on the road for very long.

High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles. It can help reduce oil consumption, smoke, and emissions from older Toyota Land Cruiser engines.

Answers to Your Toyota Land Cruiser Car Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota Land 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 do car batteries 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.
  • What is the white, crusty substance accumulating on my Land Cruiser’s battery post?  The white, crusty stuff that can accumulate around Land Cruiser car battery terminals is called corrosion. It is caused by a chemical reaction between the battery acid and the air, which creates a white, powdery substance that can build up on the terminals over time. Corrosion can interfere with the flow of electricity between the battery post and the car's electrical system, sometimes leading to poor electrical performance, difficulty starting, and even premature battery failure.

2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Oil Change Service

Your 2018 Land Cruiser’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. No matter the mileage, your Land Cruiser may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear engine knocking, 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.

Whether it’s synthetic, conventional, or a blend of both — your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right oil for your Toyota Land Cruiser. 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. During your oil change service, an auto technician will change your Land Cruiser’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. Get professional engine care by making an oil change appointment for your Land Cruiser today.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser

  • What can cause the oil light on my Toyota Land Cruiser to illuminate?  The oil change light in your Toyota Land Cruiser could be triggered by an overdue oil change. However, if the oil pressure light is on, you may be dealing with low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a clogged oil filter, or a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor.
  • Can I change my Toyota Land 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.

This can improve your fuel system’s performance (and therefore, your engine’s performance). Keep in mind that your Land Cruiser's mileage and maintenance history can uniquely impact its tune-up needs. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

*Talk to a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate for full terms and conditions on warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser

  • When should Toyota Land 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 Land Cruiser? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Land Cruiser. It could signal a coolant leak, brake fluid leak, or an oil leak. Let any one of these leaks linger and it could cause engine damage.
  • How often do Toyota Land Cruiser fuel injectors need to be cleaned? There is no hard and fast rule on how often fuel injectors should be cleaned, and it can vary based on driving habits and fuel type. Some manufacturers may suggest including a fuel system cleaning in your regular maintenance schedule. Or you may need to clean your fuel injectors as needed if you notice signs of a fuel system problem.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser

When you first drove your 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Land Cruiser feels bouncy, drifts to one side, or makes noise whenever you turn or drive over a speed bump. The first sign of problems is a good time to bring your 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Steering & Suspension

  • What can cause my Toyota Land Cruiser to have a bouncy ride?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Land Cruiser to bounce more than usual.
  • What can cause the front end of my Land Cruiser to dip forward when I apply the brakes?  As you brake, the forward momentum of your Land Cruiser combined with its weight sends a ton of force to its front end. A damaged or worn suspension system can cause the front end to compress and dip even further.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in 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.

2018 Toyota Land Cruiser A/C Service Near You

Our trained technicians will do what they can to solve your 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser A/C problems.

Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Questions About 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser A/C Systems

  • Why is my Land Cruiser A/C blowing hot air? Maybe your A/C starts cool but then gets warm. Or maybe it never gets cold in the first place. Either way, your A/C troubles could be traced back to a clogged expansion valve, faulty compressor clutch, blown fuse, or leak.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  Over the years, the rubber seals and gaskets in your Land Cruiser’s A/C system naturally degrade. Moisture can get into the system and cause a malfunction, or parts can simply wear out so that your system no longer seals properly.
  • Why won’t my Land Cruiser’s A/C cool the vehicle when the car is stopped?  Damaged or worn components in your Land Cruiser’s electrical or air conditioning system can cause the A/C to only work when the car is moving. You may be dealing with low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Transmission Service & Repairs

Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Land Cruiser’s performance. 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood.

2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Transmission Questions & Answers

  • When should I have my Land Cruiser's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Maintaining your Toyota Land Cruiser transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Toyota. Leaks or low transmission fluid are easy to spot and affordable to repair.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Toyota Land Cruiser?  Yes. Toyota Land Cruiser transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Is it okay to drive a Land Cruiser with a transmission fluid leak?  Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended. Transmission fluid is essential to the proper operation of the transmission system, and a leak can cause serious problems, including reduced performance, overheating, and potentially transmission failure.

2018 Toyota Land Cruiser Radiator Service

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2018 Toyota Land Cruiser is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, Toyota recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Toyota Land 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.

Common Toyota Land Cruiser Radiator Questions

  • Why is the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard on?  Pay attention to the temperature gauge and lights on your dashboard. If a low coolant warning light comes on or your dashboard temperature gauge keeps rising, it’s likely that your engine is about to overheat (and could leave you stranded on the road). Wait for the engine to cool down, then have your coolant system checked immediately at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care.
  • Why is my Land Cruiser overheating?  One of the main reasons your Toyota Land Cruiser engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • What can cause a Land Cruiser radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds?  Air pockets in your Land 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.
