Combat environmental buildup with Toyota's combustion and EFI fuel system service, designed to withstand the climate of Pickering Durham, Toronto, and the Greater Toronto Area. Schedule an EFI service to optimize performance and fuel efficiency for your summer travels.
PRO TIP: Schedule fuel system cleaning every 80,000 km or at the first signs of drivability issues to maintain peak performance throughout the season.
During the scorching summer months, it's crucial to keep ourselves hydrated to prevent overheating – and the same goes for our vehicles. At Pickering Toyota, we understand the importance of maintaining proper fluid levels to ensure optimal performance in the hot weather. Specific fluids like Toyota Genuine Motor Oil, Brake Fluid, Transmission Fluid, Long Life, and Super Long Life Coolant act as essential cooling agents, effectively dissipating heat from critical vehicle components.
To guarantee smooth and trouble-free summer driving, it's imperative to have your fluids checked and topped up during your regular maintenance appointments, which you can conveniently schedule every 6 months or 8,000 km at Pickering Toyota. Make sure to consult your maintenance schedule to determine the recommended intervals for replacing your Toyota Fluids and Lubricants.
During warmer months, your 12-volt battery is put under additional strain. Not only does it face extra heat and humidity, but also increased demand on your vehicle’s electrical system from powering your A/C. 12v car batteries typically last an average 4-5 years, and while your battery may seem completely fine and functional, it can’t hurt to request a Battery Health Check at your next maintenance appointment.
To prevent the chance of your battery interrupting your summer adventures, Book a Battery Health Check at Pickering Toyota.
TIP: Before heading out on your road trip, bring a set of jumper cables just in case. Be sure to familiarize yourself with how to safely boost your battery before using the cables.
PRO TIP: In a Hybrid Vehicle, the Hybrid system needs to be turned off and the exclusive jump starting terminal needs to be located. You can refer to your vehicle's specific Owner's Manual or contact Pickering Toyota for further instructions, including where to locate these.
