Fresh oil lubricates engine components, helps control heat, and removes dirt and debris that can cause wear over time. Changing your oil on schedule improves performance, fuel efficiency, and engine life.

When to Get An Oil Change
Your oil and filter should be replaced according to the Toyota maintenance schedule.
What Type of Oil Does Toyota Use?
Toyota Genuine Motor Oil (TGMO) is specially formulated to protect your Toyota engine from energy loss, excessive heat, and wear caused by friction between moving parts. Designed to meet Toyota’s exact standards, TGMO helps your vehicle perform at its best in all driving conditions.
Toyota Genuine Motor Oil delivers five key benefits:

- Cooling - to help manage engine temperature
- Sealing - to support proper compression
- Corrosion - protection to prevent rust and damage
- Cleaning - to reduce deposits and keep your engine running smoothly
How Long Does An Oil Change Take?
This can depend if you are getting any other services done, like Toyota Service 1, or any other recommended services. Your Service Advisor will let you know a timeframe when you book, or upon check-in.
Does a Toyota Hybrid Need An Oil Change?
Yes, Toyota hybrid vehicles still need regular oil changes.
Even though a hybrid uses an electric motor to assist with driving, it still has a gasoline engine that requires clean engine oil for proper lubrication, cooling, and protection. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated, just like in a traditional gas-powered vehicle.
Models like the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, Toyota Corolla Hybrid, and Toyota Sienna Hybrid all follow a recommended maintenance schedule that includes routine oil changes. Many newer Toyota hybrids use synthetic oil and may have longer service intervals, but it is important to follow the maintenance guide in your owner’s manual or your vehicle’s maintenance reminder system.
