About 2016 Toyota Sienna Tires

Other than getting the proper tire size, there are a couple of other factors to consider when buying Toyota Sienna 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. Many drivers who live in states that experience all four seasons choose to purchase two sets of tires: one set for winter, one set for summer. Other drivers buy one set of all-season tires instead. That way they don't have to return to the tire shop and their vehicle is always ready for sun, rain, and light snow!

Driving style is next on the list to think about when buying tires. 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 Sienna tires online or come to your nearby Firestone Complete Auto Care for help selecting the tire that's right for you.

2016 Toyota Sienna Tire Questions

  • Why check Toyota tire inflation? The right tire pressure can make all the difference. Proper tire inflation helps increase fuel economy, improve braking time, and boost tire lifespan! Even a small change in tire pressure can impact your driving.
  • Why are there numbers on the side of my Toyota Sienna tires? Your tire sidewall gives you information about load carrying capacity, speed rating, treadwear, traction, and tire size. Talk to one of our tire technicians to learn how to read the numbers on your tire!
  • Is there an easy way to check Toyota tire tread depth? 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 Sienna tires. Grab a penny. Hold the so that Abe Lincon's head is facing you and his hair is pointing toward the ground. Then, place the penny into a tread groove.

For example, mainly driving on highways and gradually braking can help increase the lifespan of your brake pads, and carrying hefty loads or riding your brakes can shorten it.
  • Should my Sienna be leaking brake fluid when the car is off? Your Sienna 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 2016 Toyota Sienna Engines

  • Why does the check engine light come on when I start my Sienna? Generally, your check engine light turning on upon ignition is not a bad thing. It’s just your Sienna firing up its circuits. The light should turn off in a bit, but come see us if it doesn't.
  • Are Toyota Sienna engine noises bad? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your Toyota Sienna. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage a Toyota engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Steer clear of these habits to help protect engine performance and efficiency.

Tire Repair for Your 2016 Toyota Sienna

If your 2016 Toyota Sienna is in need of a tire inspection or possible flat tire repair, Firestone Complete Auto Care has your back. Our tire technicians can determine whether it's safe to plug and patch the tire, or whether it needs to be replaced. We’ll begin by taking a look at where the damage is, the type and extent of the tire damage, and how all of your tires are wearing.

If we determine that your 2016 Toyota Sienna tire can be safely repaired, we’ll get to work on the steps to fix it: (1) Separate the tire from the vehicle wheel, (2) use a filler to close up the puncture (this is to keep moisture from getting in), and (3) seal the inner liner with a repair unit to prevent air loss.

Frequently Asked Toyota Sienna Tire Repair Questions

  • Can I drive my Toyota on a flat tire? Driving on a flat tire is not a good idea. Your Sienna engine will keep running with a flat tire, but you could damage your wheel by continuing to drive on a flat.
  • Will a temporary sealant 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. Keep in mind that these fixes could buy you some time to get to Firestone Complete Auto Care for a proper repair, but they could also cause some harm in the process (for example, damage to your TPMS). Plus, using a product like this could void your tire warranty.
  • Why do the tires on my Sienna keep losing air?  If your Sienna tires are always losing air, you may have a puncture, damaged wheel, or leaking valve stem.

2016 Toyota Sienna Maintenance Q&A

  • When should I have Toyota Sienna alignment checked?  You know your Toyota Sienna better than anyone else, so you’ll know if something doesn’t feel right while driving. Have your alignment checked (and adjusted if necessary) as soon as you notice a pulling steering wheel to prevent suspension damage or uneven tire wear.
  • When does my Toyota Sienna need high mileage oil?  If your Toyota Sienna 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!
  • Can Toyota dashboard warning lights wait?  It's better to get them addressed as soon as possible. An illuminated dashboard light means something in your vehicle isn't functioning like it should. Letting problems linger can mean bad news for your Toyota Sienna, so be sure to take your car in for service as soon as you notice an illuminated dashboard light.

Answers to Your Toyota Sienna Car Battery Questions

  • Why won't my Toyota Sienna battery stay charged?  A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery might be old. Or, you may have a habit of leaving your car doors open and the lights on overnight. Stop by for a free battery test at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care to learn more about the state of your battery.
  • What is the average lifespan of a car battery?  A car battery normally lasts three to five years, but this number can vary based on battery type, your driving habits, and battery maintenance.
  • Why is there white, crusty buildup on my Sienna’s battery post?  A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your Sienna car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.

2016 Toyota Sienna Oil Change Service

Toyota recommends changing your 2016 Sienna’s oil at regular intervals. No matter the mileage, your Sienna may need its oil changed ASAP if your check engine light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, sense an oil smell in the cabin, or notice excess vehicle exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, go off-roading a lot, or drive at low speeds for long distances.

Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care has the right 2016 Toyota Sienna motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Check your owner's manual and talk with a technician to select the right Toyota Sienna 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 an oil change, an auto technician will change your Sienna’s oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil 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 Sienna’s engine by making an oil change appointment today.

2016 Toyota Sienna Oil Change Questions

  • What does it mean if my Toyota Sienna oil light comes on?  Your Toyota Sienna oil change reminder light may come on if you're overdue for an oil change. The oil pressure light will typically come on if the oil level in the engine is too low, the oil pump is failing, you have a clogged oil filter, or there's a faulty 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 Sienna spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?  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.

2016 Toyota Sienna Tune-Up & Engine Service

Periodic tune-ups can bring more power back to your Sienna’s engine. Your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care location has several options to choose from when it comes to Toyota Sienna engine tune-up services. The first is the standard Firestone Tune-Up. This includes the installation of new spark plugs and a visual inspection of your engine’s components, plus a lifetime warranty on parts*. A second service option replaces the air and fuel filter in your Sienna. The third tune-up option is a fuel system cleaning service, which is a three-step process that removes varnish, dirt, and carbon deposits on your Sienna's fuel injectors, throttle body, and throttle plate. This goes a long way in boosting your fuel system’s overall performance. Consider this when choosing a tune-up service for your Sienna: your vehicle’s maintenance record and mileage can determine which service is best. Chat with a Firestone technician before you jump into a specific service to ensure your engine tune-up money is well-spent.

*Ask a Firestone Complete Auto Care teammate about full terms and conditions for warranties.

Common Engine Tune-Up Q&A for 2016 Toyota Sienna

  • What happens if my Toyota Sienna 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 does a puddle underneath my Toyota Sienna mean? Puddles could indicate that your vehicle is leaking coolant, oil, or brake fluid. Ignoring these leaks can lead to permanent engine damage, so address these symptoms ASAP with a tune-up service.
  • How often should I clean my Toyota Sienna fuel injectors? 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.

2016 Sienna Toyota Steering & Suspension Services

When you first bought your 2016 Toyota Sienna, you and your passengers probably enjoyed a ride that was smooth and balanced. Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Perhaps your Sienna feels bouncy, leans to one side, or makes a weird sound when you drive over a speed bump or turn. The first sign of trouble is the best time to bring your 2016 Toyota Sienna in for steering and suspension repairs. We’ll get to the source of your car problems and, if your Sienna suspension system needs repair, we’ll go over the services you need and how much they will cost before we do any work.

2016 Sienna Steering & Suspension Q&A

  • Why does my Toyota Sienna bounce so much? Damaged struts or shocks can't dampen road bumps properly, causing your vehicle to feel like a trampoline after each dip or bump.
  • Why does my Sienna's nose dive down when I hit the brakes?  The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your Sienna's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my Sienna's steering and suspension?  Proper tire care can reduce strain on the suspension system, and also alert you to the need for new tires. Uneven tire wear is one sign of steering and suspension system problems, but it can also contribute to more.

2016 Toyota Sienna A/C Service Near You

Our technicians will work to solve your 2016 Toyota Sienna A/C problems to the best of their ability. In this A/C performance inspection, we’ll check out the current condition of your 2016 Toyota Sienna A/C system to determine whether repair work is needed. This check includes a visual inspection, performance test, and pressure and leak test.

When we perform an A/C repair on your 2016 Toyota Sienna, 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). Next, they will evacuate the system according to Toyota's recommendations. Finally, we’ll recharge the A/C system with new refrigerant.

Frequently Asked Questions for 2016 Toyota Sienna A/C Systems

  • Why is my Sienna 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.
  • What causes A/C system leaks?  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 Sienna's A/C system.
  • Why does my Sienna’s A/C only work when the car is moving?  Damaged or worn components in your Sienna’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.

Transmission Services for 2016 Toyota Sienna

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Since the transmission has to translate the precise amount of power for your desired amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. 2016 Toyota Sienna transmission problems can show up as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Toyota Sienna transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your Sienna isn’t working at all. Our technicians are trained to service 2016  Toyota Sienna transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations. Schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of transmission problems to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2016 Toyota Sienna Transmission Q&A

  • How often does my Sienna transmission fluid need to be checked?  Regularly checking and exchanging your 2016 Sienna’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Toyota's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can Toyota Sienna transmission fluid leak?  Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Toyota Sienna, 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.
  • Can I still drive my Toyota Sienna if it has 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.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 2016 Toyota Sienna is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. 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 notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light.

If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Toyota Sienna’s cooling system. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks. When it comes to radiator service and repair, we’re here to give your 2016 Toyota Sienna the top-notch service it needs.

Questions About Toyota Sienna Radiators

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Toyota?  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.
  • What is causing my Sienna to overheat?  Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Toyota Sienna engine to overheat.
  • What is making my Sienna radiator sound like it’s boiling or rumbling? If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Sienna. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.
