Tips on Maintaining Your
Vehicle When Driving Less
Your Toyota was meant to be driven. However, under the current conditions, many people are driving less – which can result in mechanical issues. You can keep your Toyota running smoothly by following a few of the below recommendations.
Drive Time
- Drive your Toyota at least once a week for a minimum of 20 minutes
- This helps ensure that moving parts get lubricated, the battery stays charged, and your tires won’t develop flat spots
Exterior Protection
- Wax and seal to protect your paint
- If parking outside, consider a car cover
Brakes & Tires
- Help minimize rust from forming on the brake rotors by taking a short drive at least once a week
- Maintain proper tire pressure and periodically move your vehicle so that the tires won’t develop flat spots
Oil & Gas
- Oil can deteriorate over time, especially with fluctuations in temperatures
- Even if you are not driving as often, it is recommended to change your oil at minimum every twelve months
- Keep your gas tank full to help prevent condensation build-up inside the tank, which can result in your engine not running optimally
Service Intervals
- Even if you are not driving as much, it is important to keep your recommended service intervals – every 6 months or 8,000 km, whichever comes first
- Rest assured our Toyota trained technicians have the knowledge and expertise to help keep your Toyota in peak operating condition, so that it is ready to go when you are
Check for Pests
- A parked car can become an inviting nesting site for smaller rodents like mice and squirrels, so check your engine for a nest before starting up
