2013 Toyota Tacoma Oil Change

Not sure how or where to get your Toyota Tacoma’s oil changed? Get the advice you need at Firestone Complete Auto Care! Our expertise goes beyond tires. We know all about motor oil, too. We couldn’t put it better than our technician, Brianna. She likes to explain to customers that, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”

Your 2013 Tacoma’s oil should be changed according to Toyota’s recommended oil change intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Tacoma in the above table. Your Tacoma may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knocking sounds coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of exhaust. You may also need an oil change more frequently than Toyota recommends if you haul heavy loads, frequent dusty roads, enjoy off-roading, or go long distances at low speeds. More frequent oil changes generally won't harm your Toyota Tacoma. 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 2013 Toyota Tacoma motor oil: either synthetic or conventional. Toyota has most likely outlined either synthetic or conventional as the best oil for 2013 Toyota Tacoma vehicles. Motor oil reduces friction between engine components, regulate engine temperature, and keep harmful substances from building up inside the engine. During your oil change service, a technician will change your Tacoma's oil, replace and recycle your used oil and oil filter, inspect all of your other filters, refill vital car fluids, and visually inspect the rest of the vehicle. You can rest assured knowing that we seek to do what’s best for your Tacoma by considering your driving style, weather and road conditions,
