Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2001 Toyota Celica?

• Maintains engine lubrication: fresh oil reduces friction between moving parts in the 1.8L inline-4 engine, preventing premature wear and preserving horsepower and torque.
• Removes contaminants: replacing oil and the filter clears sludge, dirt and combustion byproducts that reduce efficiency and can clog passages over time.
• Improves fuel economy: clean oil helps the engine run smoothly, supporting the Celica's EPA-efficient performance (approx. 25 city / 32 highway MPG).
• Preserves resale value: documented dealer service history shows careful maintenance and can increase trade-in or resale value.
• Protects long-term costs: routine oil changes prevent major engine problems, saving money over time compared with delayed maintenance.
