Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2019 Toyota Land Cruiser?

• Preserves engine performance: fresh oil lubricates the 5.7L V8, reducing friction and wear on critical components such as pistons, bearings, and camshafts.
• Maintains fuel efficiency: clean oil helps the engine run smoothly and can improve city/highway MPG over time by reducing internal drag.
• Protects under load and towing: the Land Cruiser’s towing capacity and heavy-duty use demand clean oil to prevent overheating and to maintain torque delivery during towing.
• Prevents sludge and deposits: routine oil changes remove contaminants and combustion byproducts that can form harmful deposits in oil passages and on valve train parts.
• Supports long-term value: documented, dealership-performed oil changes retain vehicle history and resale value while ensuring warranty compliance when applicable.
