3 Simple Car Care Tips Every Toyota Owner Should Know

3 Car Care Tips Every Toyota Owner Should Know

At Camelback Toyota, we believe that knowing a few basic car care tips can help you feel more confident on the road and keep your Toyota running its best. You don’t have to be a certified mechanic to do these simple checks yourself and they can make a big difference in your vehicle’s performance.

Here are three easy how-to tips every Toyota driver should know.
 

1. How to Check Your Tire Pressure

Keeping your tires properly inflated improves fuel efficiency, handling, and safety.

Follow these quick steps:

1. Remove the valve cap from your tire.
2. Place a tire pressure gauge on the valve stem and get a reading.
3. Compare the reading to the recommended PSI listed on the sticker inside your driver’s door.
4. If it’s low, there could be an issue, make sure you schedule a service appointment at Camelback Toyota Service Center.

Pro Tip: Check tire pressure when the tires are cold, ideally first thing in the morning.
 

2. How to Check Your Oil Level

Engine oil is a vital part of your vehicle, and checking it takes just a few minutes.

Here’s how:

1. Inside your car, pull the hood latch (usually near the driver’s dash).
2. Release the hood lever in the middle front edge of the hood, lift the hood with one hand, and use the hood prop rod to hold it open.
3. Look for the yellow oil dipstick handle. Pull it out and wipe it clean with a towel or napkin.
4. Insert it back in fully, then pull it out again. The oil level should be between the two notches on the dipstick and should look clean and golden.

If the oil is low or looks dirty, schedule an oil change with Camelback Toyota.
 

3. How to Use the Rear A/C for Your Backseat Passengers

Want to keep everyone cool and comfortable? Your Toyota has a rear A/C button that allows you to turn on airflow for passengers in the back seats.

• Look for the “Rear A/C” button on your climate control panel.
• Press it to turn on the air conditioning for your backseat passengers.

This is perfect for Arizona’s hot days when everyone needs a little extra cool air.
