Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2022 Toyota Mirai?

• The 2022 Toyota Mirai is a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle and does not have a conventional internal combustion engine that requires a traditional oil change.
• Instead of engine oil service, the Mirai requires specialized maintenance of systems such as fuel cell coolant, inverter coolant, brake fluid, and scheduled inspections of seals and electrical components.
• Regular, manufacturer-recommended service preserves drivetrain efficiency, range, and component life—delivering immediate savings by avoiding unexpected repairs and long-term savings through reduced wear and better resale value.
• All repairs and warranty-covered work must be performed at a certified dealership to keep warranty protections intact; Herb Chambers Toyota of Auburn provides factory-trained technicians and OEM parts for that reason.
• Choosing our dealership often costs less than independent shops for these specialized services because we combine transparent pricing with factory expertise, reducing repeat visits and preventing costly future failures.
