Frequently Asked Questions

Why is an oil change important for a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser?

• Protects engine components: fresh oil lubricates bearings, pistons and camshafts, reducing wear in the 4.0L V6 and extending engine life.
• Maintains performance: clean oil helps the 239 hp, 278 lb-ft engine run smoothly and preserve power and throttle response.
• Removes contaminants: oil change replaces oil that has picked up dirt, metal particles and combustion byproducts that can harm engine internals.
• Improves efficiency: fresh oil reduces friction, which supports better fuel economy and lower operating temperatures—important for a four wheel drive SUV used in varied conditions.
• Protects long-term value: regular service preserves resale value and helps avoid costly repairs that often grow from neglected lubrication.
• Warranty and certified care: repairs and warranty-covered work must be performed at a certified dealership; Coggin Toyota at the Avenues uses factory-trained technicians and Toyota-approved parts when servicing your 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser.
