2016 Toyota Prius V Oil Change

Not sure how or where to get your Toyota Prius V’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, "Oil is the blood of the engine. It's the #1 thing you can do for your car," says our maintenance technician, Brianna.

Toyota recommends having your 2016 Toyota Prius V’s motor oil changed at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Prius V in the above table. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your Prius V may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances. Generally, getting more frequent oil changes won’t hurt your Toyota Prius V. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2016 Toyota Prius V motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Toyota has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the ideal engine oil for your 2016 Prius V. Motor oil helps lubricate the engine’s moving parts, regulate engine temperature, and prevent the build-up of harmful substances within the engine. In an oil change service, a technician will change your Prius V's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, inspect the rest of your car’s filters, refill vital car fluids, and perform a free inspection on the rest of your vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Prius V by considering your driving style, and mileage.
