Your Toyota has a heavy all wheel drive system that keeps you safe and steady year round. However that means your Toyota is carrying some extra weight that lowers your fuel efficiency. Don’t despair! We’ll give you some tips to make sure you’re getting the most out of your mile.
- Keep your Toyota’s tires properly inflated. On most Toyotas, proper inflation means somewhere between 29 to 32 PSI. Make sure you take a moment to check what color the caps are on your tire stems. Black caps mean your tires have been filled with air, but green caps denote that your tires are filled with nitrogen and a regular air pump won’t work.
- Service your Toyota at the maintenance intervals. Keeping your Toyota running like a top will prevent the engine from consuming more gasoline than it ought to. We list the intervals on our website but a rule of thumb is taking your car in for an inspection every 15,000 miles.
- Change air filters regularly. Air filters filter the air that flows into your engine and mixes with the gasoline. If your filter hasn’t been changed in a while, it may be full of debris and your Toyota won’t run as efficiently as it could.
- Use the right oil for your model. Most Toyotas use 5W-30 or 0W-20. We recommend using only synthetic oil for the most efficient engine operation.
