Not sure how or where to get your Toyota Tercel’s oil changed? Look no further than Firestone Complete Auto Care! We are experts in car care — not just tires. We know all about motor oil, too. After all, like our maintenance technician Brianna says, “Oil is the blood of the engine. It’s the #1 thing you can do for your car.”
Toyota recommends changing your 1984 Tercel’s oil at regular intervals. Check out mileage and month info for your Tercel in the above table. Your Tercel may need an oil change right away if your check engine/oil change light is on, you hear knock knock knock coming from the engine, smell oil inside the car, or notice an unusual amount of 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 go long distances at low speeds. In general, being extra-diligent about oil changes won’t damage your Toyota Tercel. Each oil change is actually another chance to check and resolve other car issues, such as worn brake pads or tire treads.
