2010 Toyota Sequoia Tire Information

Beyond the correct tire size, you also want to consider a handful of other factors when buying new Toyota Sequoia tires like how and where you drive, and how much you want to spend. When thinking about your driving conditions, consider where you live (mountains vs. city vs. countryside) and the kind of weather can catch you off-guard. (Watch out Tornado Alley!) Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets 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!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. If you're a big off-roading fan who forges paths where others can't, you have very different needs than a long-distance commuter who sticks to the highway. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you, or get started by browsing tires that fit your Toyota Sequoia.

  • Can I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires at home? Stay on top of your tire tread depth to help avoid a dangerous drive. You can check tread depth with a penny. Hold the penny so that Abraham Lincoln is facing you, then place your penny into a tread groove upside down. If you can see the top of Abe’s head, your tread is shallow and it might be time for new Toyota Sequoia tires. Grab a penny.

Frequently Asked Toyota Sequoia Tire Repair Questions

  • What happens if I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? A flat tire that’s not addressed can take a terrible toll on the rest of your car.

  • Can I use an emergency/temporary sealant to fix my Toyota's flat tire? Temporary sealants will solve your problem… for a little bit. If you’ve seen temporary or emergency tire sealant before (it usually comes in a can), it can be tempting to turn to this as a solution for your flat tire.

Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.

If you’ve recently hit a pothole (or even if you don’t remember hitting one… they can be sneaky!) check your tire treads, tire sidewalls, and wheels for damage. Potholes can also knock your car out of alignment, so have your alignment checked if you suspect you’ve driven over a rough patch of road lately.
  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Toyota Sequoia?  If your Toyota Sequoia has ticked past 75,000 miles, consider switching to high mileage oil at your next oil change to give your engine what it needs to go another 75,000 (or more!). High mileage oil: make it a high priority!

Your Sequoia may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear engine knocking, smell oil inside the vehicle, or notice excess vehicle exhaust.

2010 Toyota Sequoia Oil Change Q&A

  • Why is the oil light on in my Toyota Sequoia?  The oil change light in your Toyota Sequoia 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 oil on my own?  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 Sequoia exhaust smoke grayish 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.

The result? Restored fuel system performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Sequoia: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best.

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

2010 Toyota Sequoia Engine Tune-Up Q&A

  • What happens if my Toyota Sequoia spark plugs fail?  Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Without the spark of electricity created by spark plugs, your engine doesn’t have the combustion it needs to start — which could leave you stranded on the road. Always replace your spark plugs on time based on Toyota’s recommendations.
  • What should I do if I see leaks under my Sequoia? Don't ignore puddles of fluid under your Toyota Sequoia. 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 frequently do the fuel injectors in my Toyota Sequoia need to be cleaned? The cleaning schedule for vehicle fuel injectors varies depending on your driving conditions and the type of fuel you use. Some manufacturers suggest cleaning your fuel system as part of routine maintenance, while others will recommend it on an as-needed basis if you’re experiencing poor performance. Reference your Toyota owner’s manual for exact guidelines.

Suspension Service & Repair for 2010 Toyota Sequoia

During the first few years you had your 2010 Toyota Sequoia, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your Sequoia jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2010 Toyota Sequoia, bring it in for steering and suspension services. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if steering and suspension service is needed, we’ll explain what your car needs and how much it’ll cost to get it done. We won't begin any work without your permission.

2010 Toyota Sequoia Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Why does my Toyota Sequoia bounce so much?  If your shocks or struts are in bad shape, they can’t dampen road bumps like they should. This can cause your Sequoia to bounce more than usual.
  • Why does my Sequoia front end dip forward when I brake?  The forward dip in the front end of your Sequoia when you brake is caused by the weight and momentum transferring to the front wheels. If your suspension system is in bad shape, it can fail to distribute this force, leading your front end to dip further downward.
  • What role do tire pressure and tread depth play in my Toyota's suspension?  Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, nd also let you know when it's time to replace your tires. A faltering steering and suspension system could lead to uneven tire wear.

A/C Service for Your 2010 Toyota Sequoia

Technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care are ready to help you address your 2010 Toyota Sequoia A/C problems. During an A/C performance check, we'll determine the condition of your 2010 Toyota Sequoia A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check will include an examination of system pressure, a visual inspection, and a leak test.

While your 2010 Toyota Sequoia’s air conditioner is being serviced, we’ll also do an A/C evacuation and recharge. To do this, one of our technicians will remove the refrigerant in your A/C system (if there is even any left to remove). Then, they’ll use Toyota’s specifications to evacuate the system. To finish, we’ll add new refrigerant to recharge the A/C system.

Questions About 2010 Toyota Sequoia A/C Systems

  • What’s making my Sequoia A/C put out warm air? If your car’s air conditioning isn’t blowing cold air at all (or it tries, then turns warm), you could have a clogged expansion valve, a faulty compressor clutch, a leak, or a malfunctioning fuse in the system.
  • What can cause an A/C system leak? To put it simply, age and moisture are some of the main causes of leaks in your A/C. Over time, rubber gaskets and seals can wear out, which pushes much-needed refrigerant out of your Sequoia’s A/C system — and lets outside moisture get in, which can take a toll on internal A/C components.
  • What is causing my Sequoia’s A/C to only work when the car is in motion?  If your A/C only works when the vehicle is moving, there could be a problem with part of your Sequoia’s A/C or electrical system. Potential issues include low coolant or a faulty cooling fan.

Transmission Services for 2010 Toyota Sequoia

Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. 2010 Toyota Sequoia transmission issues could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Toyota Sequoia transmission problems linger and your could suffer a loss in fuel efficiency or find that you can't drive your Sequoia at all. Our technicians know how to service your 2010 Sequoia up to Toyota-recommended standards.

2010 Toyota Sequoia Transmission Q&A

  • When should I have my Sequoia's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Maintaining your Toyota Sequoia 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 Sequoia? Yes, your Toyota Sequoia can develop a transmission fluid leak. As your Sequoia ages, parts of the transmission system might wear out or break down, leading to a leak and possible transmission issues. Common causes of transmission fluid leaks include worn seals, a damaged transmission housing, a loose or cracked transmission pan, an overfilled transmission, or faulty transmission lines.
  • Can I still drive my Toyota Sequoia if it has a transmission fluid leak?  It’s not advisable to drive your Sequoia if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
