Choosing 2020 Toyota Sequoia Tires

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 evaluating your driving conditions, think about where you live (countryside vs. city vs. mountains) and the kind of unexpected weather you're likely to experience. 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 the convenience of all-season tires. They make one trip to the tire shop and they're pretty much ready for rain, light snow, or sun!

Your personal driving style is the next factor to consider. If you're a diehard off-roader, you have very different tire needs than a highway commuter who doesn't leave the paved path. 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.

  • Why are there numbers on the side of my Toyota Sequoia tires? Your tire sidewall numbers tell you the recommended load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to a tire technician to learn how to read Toyota tire numbers.
  • How do I check the tread depth on my Toyota tires? 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.

  • Should I bring my Toyota in even if I can't pinpoint the problem? No, we’re not talking about finding the best jams on the radio! You know your car best, and you’re the first person who will notice if something doesn’t feel right (like new smells, sights, or sounds coming from your car). If you sense that something is 'off,' stop in for a Courtesy Check to have these symptoms checked out ASAP. Early action could help you prevent Toyota Sequoia repairs.
  • Are the repairs you recommend for my Toyota actually needed? Trust is more than just a saying on the wall. It’s a window underneath it. That’s why we won’t recommend services or repairs for your 2020 Toyota Sequoia unless we think they’re vital to your safety on the road.

You can always schedule a free brake inspection at the first sign of strange brake behavior.
  • What is the average lifespan of Sequoia brake pads? In general, brake pads can last from 30,000 to 40,000 miles. Certain factors, like driving on highways mostly and braking smoothly, can help your brake pads last longer. Hauling heavy loads and riding your brakes can shorten brake pad lifespan.
  • Can brake fluid leak when my Sequoia is off? Your Sequoia has a closed hydraulic brake system, meaning you should not have a brake fluid leak under normal conditions. However, parts of your brake system can wear out over time or become damaged, which can lead to a brake fluid leak.

These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • Why is the malfunction indicator light (MIL) on in my Sequoia?  The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Sequoia can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.
  • Is a drivetrain malfunction in my Sequoia serious? A drivetrain malfunction in your Sequoia should never be taken lightly. Driving with a malfunctioning drivetrain can put you in danger and lead to further vehicle damage, so it's essential to have a qualified mechanic assess and repair the problem as soon as possible.

When your car has an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Toyota intended.

Answers to Toyota Sequoia Alignment Questions

  • What can knock my Toyota Sequoia out of alignment? Potholes and uneven roads can knock your car out of alignment, so stay aware of the road ahead and adjust your speed (or avoid these obstacles whenever it’s safely possible).
  • When should you get a wheel alignment for your Sequoia? Generally, it’s wise to have your alignment looked at around every 6,000 miles or 6 months, whichever happens first. You should check your Sequoia owner’s manual to verify Toyota’s suggested interval.
  • Does getting new Sequoia tires mean you need an alignment?  It’s not mandatory to get an alignment after installing new tires on your Sequoia, but it can be a smart decision! Proper alignment from the jump can help improve handling, fuel efficiency, and tire wear.

Questions About 2020 Toyota Sequoia Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Sequoia? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Sequoia firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Why is my Toyota Sequoia making engine noise?  Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Toyota Sequoia engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you need an oil change. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • Are you unknowingly damaging your Toyota Sequoia 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. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.

Tire Repair for Your 2020 Toyota Sequoia

Toyota Sequoia Tire Repair Questions

  • Can 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. Until you have it repaired or replaced, drive your Sequoia as little as possible to reduce your risk of damage to the wheels and alignment – or further damage to that already struggling tire!
  • Is temporary sealant bad for my Toyota's tires? A temporary sealant may be able to help you get to a repair location safely. But temporary or emergency sealants could possibly damage TPMS sensors, and in some cases may even void the warranty on your Bridgestone or Firestone tires. If your tire needs extensive repair, sealant can add time and labor costs to the process.
  • Why do my Sequoia tires keep losing air?  If your Sequoia tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

2020 Toyota Sequoia Maintenance Questions

  • When should I use high mileage oil in my Toyota Sequoia?  Got 75,000+ miles on the odometer? Consider high mileage motor oil. High mileage oil is formulated to address the specific problems encountered by high mileage vehicles, or those with more than 75,000 miles.

Commonly Asked Toyota Sequoia Battery Questions

  • Why doesn’t my Toyota Sequoia 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.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery? The typical 12-volt car battery may last three to five years, depending on the type of battery, the driving conditions, and how well the battery is maintained.
  • Why is there white, flaky stuff around my Sequoia’s battery post?  The white, flaky stuff that can build up around your Sequoia’s battery terminals is known as corrosion. Acid leaking from your vehicle’s battery post can have a chemical reaction with the air, leading to an accumulation of the white, powdery substance over time. Corrosion can affect the flow of electricity between your battery and the electrical system in your Sequoia, possibly causing issues with electrical performance and starting. If left unaddressed for long enough, it may even cause your battery to prematurely fail.

2020 Toyota Sequoia Oil Change Service

Your 2020 Sequoia’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. Outside of Toyota-recommended oil change intervals, your Sequoia may need an oil change if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or see an excess amount of vehicle exhaust. You might need an oil change more frequently than what’s recommended by Toyota if you regularly haul heavy loads, drive in dusty terrain, 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 Sequoia. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Sequoia oil, whether it's Quaker State® Advanced Durability™ conventional oil, Pennzoil® High Mileage Vehicle® motor oil, Pennzoil Platinum® Full Synthetic motor oil with PurePlus™ Technology, or Shell Rotella® heavy-duty engine oil. During your oil change service, a technician will change your Sequoia's oil, replace and recycle the old oil and filter, check all of your other filters, top-off important fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. Let the experts take care of your Sequoia’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.

Oil Change Q&A for Your 2020 Toyota Sequoia

  • Why is the oil light on in my Toyota Sequoia?  If you’re overdue for an oil change, it might trigger your Toyota Sequoia oil change reminder light. If the oil pressure light is illuminated, it could be due to low engine oil, a failing oil pump, a malfunctioning oil pressure sensor, or a clogged oil filter.
  • 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 exhaust smoke gray or blue?  Your engine could be burning oil due to a leak.  It may be time for a pro to take a look. A leak can be caused by a variety of issues including faulty valve seals, blown piston rings, or damaged cylinder walls.

2020 Toyota Sequoia Tune-Up & Engine Service

Regular engine tune-ups can optimize your Sequoia’s power on the road. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Sequoia engine tune-up services. One option is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. It includes a complete visual inspection of engine components, installation of new spark plugs, and a lifetime warranty on parts*. Another service option pays special attention to the filters in your Sequoia. Specifically, we replace the fuel filter and air filter. Our third service is a thorough cleaning of the fuel system. During this type of tune-up, we use a three-step process to get rid of harmful varnish, dirt, and carbon deposit buildup in your Sequoia’s fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. 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. Ask one of our technicians what your vehicle needs, based on your driving habits and your car’s current condition.

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

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2020 Toyota Sequoia

  • Will it hurt my Toyota Sequoia to drive with old spark plugs? When it’s time to replace the spark plugs, don’t delay. These small (but vital!) parts provide the electric spark that your car needs in order to start, and old spark plugs can prevent your car from starting at all. Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so.
  • What do I do if I see a pool of liquid under my Toyota 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 frequency at which car fuel injectors should be cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of fuel used and the driving conditions. Some manufacturers generally recommend a fuel system cleaning as part of your general car maintenance, or as needed based on symptoms of poor fuel system performance.

2020 Sequoia Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first drove your 2020 Toyota Sequoia, you probably enjoyed a smooth and steady ride. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Sequoia feels bouncy, leans 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 2020 Toyota Sequoia in for suspension and steering service. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Sequoia suspension system needs repair, 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.

Questions About 2020 Toyota Sequoia Steering & Suspension

  • Why is my Toyota Sequoia bouncing so much?  If it feels like you’re on a trampoline every time your Sequoia goes over a bump or dip, you may have a problem with your struts or shocks. Faulty shocks and struts can’t properly absorb road bumps, leading to a bouncy ride.
  • Why does my Sequoia front end dip forward when I brake?  When you brake, the forward momentum combined with your vehicle's weight sends a lot of force to the vehicle's front end. A bad suspension can cause all that weight and force to push the front end downward.
  • 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.

A/C Service for Your 2020 Toyota Sequoia

Our technicians will work to solve your 2020 Toyota Sequoia A/C problems to the best of their ability. During this initial A/C performance check, we’ll look at the state of your 2020 Toyota Sequoia’s A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

While your 2020 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.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2020 Toyota Sequoia A/C Systems

  • Why is my Sequoia A/C blowing hot 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.
  • How does my A/C system get a leak?  A/C system leaks are often due to a combination of age and moisture. Rubber seals and gaskets naturally degrade over time, allowing refrigerant to exit and moisture to enter your Sequoia's A/C system.
  • Why does my Sequoia’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  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.

2020 Toyota Sequoia Transmission Service

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because of the transmission’s responsibility to translate the right dose of power into the right amount of speed, a small transmission issue can put a big dent in your Sequoia’s performance. 2020 Toyota Sequoia transmission issues could include shifting delays, grinding or jumping during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. If you ignore Toyota Sequoia transmission issues you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Sequoia at all. Our technicians are trained to service 2020  Toyota Sequoia transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations. If you think there’s something wrong with your Sequoia’s transmission, schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2020 Toyota Sequoia Transmission Questions & Answers

  • When should I have my Sequoia's transmission fluid checked or exchanged?  Caring for your Toyota Sequoia’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Toyota, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can my Toyota Sequoia leak transmission fluid?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Sequoia, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Is it okay to drive a Sequoia with 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.

Get a 2020 Toyota Sequoia Vehicle Inspection

When you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care for any service, we’ll automatically do a multi-point Courtesy Check. To start, one of our technicians will check the battery in your Toyota Sequoia to determine how much charge remains.

  • When is the best time to get a complete vehicle inspection for my Toyota Sequoia?  You should bring your Toyota Sequoia in for a full vehicle inspection if something weird happens and you can’t find the problem. A new dashboard light might come on, you may hear strange sounds under the hood, or your steering might feel off. A complete inspection is also a great idea before a road trip for added peace of mind.

2020 Toyota Sequoia Radiator Service

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2020 Toyota Sequoia is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Toyota recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant.

At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Toyota Sequoia cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks. When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’re here to give your 2020 Toyota Sequoia the top-notch service it needs.

Questions About Toyota Sequoia Radiators

  • Why is the coolant light on my Toyota dashboard on?  Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • Why is my Sequoia overheating?  One of the main reasons your Toyota Sequoia 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 is making my Sequoia radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling?  Your Sequoia’s cooling system could contain air pockets or your radiator might be clogged. Another possibility is a faulty radiator cap, which is an easy fix!
