Our Service department at Toyota of Kingsport tries to keep on top
of other oil change providers in the Kingsport area.
Could you get by replacing
this every other oil change?
Ideally you want to grease before it squeeks.If you wait until it is squeeking you have metal on metal contact somewhere in the hinge.That kind of contact results in hinge wear.As a side note an unlubricated hinge requires more effort to close the door and that can resultin broken armrests or door pulls.I generally lube the drivers door
every other oil change and the other doors, hood and trunk once a year.
@kmarsh In my experience it's typical for the factory to recommend filter changes
every other oil change.
Honda disagrees with you, as they spec a filter change for
every other oil change.
However, since it can't be adjusted, your best bet is to just rotate the tires regularly (
every other oil change is a good rule of thumb) and keep an eye out for wear.
I recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 miles or if you change your oil every 3,000, rotate
them every other oil change.
If so, it may be required to fill a small tank with colorless, odorless liquid about
every other oil change, or 10,000 miles.
Oil Change - Change the filter
every other oil change.
A 5.5 - gallon tank under the spare tire holds enough fluid to go about 10,000 miles before refilling, which would be about
every other oil change.
Some carmakers recommend changing the oil filter at
every other oil change to save you money on the cost of owning and servicing your vehicle.
Every pre-owned vehicle we sell comes with our Exclusive Silko Care PLUS program, which gives
you every other oil change, FREE!
